First day in Korea

We arrived at Incheon airport at about 4:30 a.m. local time. We loaded the buses and headed to Kangwon University in Chuncheon. We had the morning to meet our roommate, move into the dorms, and unpack. We at lunch at the cafeteria. Lunch consisted of kimchi, a macaroni salad, curry and rice, and soup- a great introduction to Korean cuisine. This afternoon we had business meetings and a tour of the university- it is really big and they even have an ag. department! Dinner consisted of some cooked eggplant-like stuff, spicy soup with squid/octupus in it, kimchi, fried fish pieces (I think). I hope to find some American food later this week. We then walked around outside of the university a little bit- there is a Baskin Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts close by. I signed up to start taking Taekwondo for next Monday. We will have classes four days a week for an hour each. My roommate's name is Christine and she is pretty cool. Tomorrow we have our language placement test and workshops. Although I did sleep some on our 12 hour flight, I am now exhausted and will talk to you all soon. Much love.
