the eagle has landed

we made it.
yesterday we landed at Incheon, which is like 20 miles away from Seoul. cindy picked us up from the airport, and we hopped into a van that took us to our place. during the course of the 2 hour trip we went under a dozen or so tunnels and over a dozen or so yuuuuge bridges. they drive on the same side of the street, mom. we got to see the school briefly, then it was straight to the hotel...which looks like it was designed for couples if you catch my drift. we were there for about ten minutes and then we left to meet everyone at this really cool restaurant. you cooked your own meat at the table and they had this bizarre hood vent system to suck up the smoke. no chairs at this place either. indian style all the way. we drank some korean beer and liqour and went to the hotel. this morning we got up and walked around the city. everything is totally crazy here. lots of neon and blinking things. our city is surrounded by this gigantic mountain range and there's a lot of water around as well. we got some fried chicken at chan and chan's and bought some drinks at a grocer. so far so good. we party with some esl teachers tonight.
peath,
roar
