Anneyong Haseo!

After nearly 24 hours of travelling, we've finally arrived to South Korea! What an experience it's been so far... we want to thank all our friends for being there for us over the last few weeks... you guys were great.

Surprisingly, we're not very jet lagged... although we did get up at 4am today. Whoever lived here before us left our apartment a complete mess... so we spent something over 7 hours getting the place cleaned up, rearranged and, well... made it our new home. Anyway, we'll save the detailed description of everything that's gone on over the last few days since we're pretty tired, but in the meantime we'll leave you all with a few pictures and captions showing off our apartment and the beautiful city. And remember... we encourage replying so we can hear from you or answer any questions...



Dawna smiling in the airport... this is of course taken BEFORE our LONG FLIGHTS.


Happy Gilad.


Dawna showing off all our luggage at Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea after 13 hours of flying. We still had to endure a 7 hour-layover and another 1 hour flight.


Driving into our city of Masan.


Dawna enjoying the beautiful sunrise over the sea... seen from one of our two balconies!


A closer look at the sunrise.


This is in the downtown area and is about a five-minute walk from our apartment. Most of the stores in this area look like this. Really colourful...


South Korean McDonald's. See, Bryson? You could live here as well...


More reason for Bryson and Drew to come visit...


Waterloo's House of Pain will get this one.


Our MUCH improved living room.


The view from the living room.


A closer look from the living room's view (from our second balcony).


Another view from the same balcony.


Our kitchen.


Our other balcony. It's the same one Dawna saw the sunrise from.


A closer look at the view from the kitchen's balcony. This is the same view as the sunrise picture from before, but during the day.


Our bedroom. The view you see out the window is the same view as seen from the living room.


The other bedroom/computer room.

As you can see, we're pretty lucky with the apartment we got. Anyway, we need to get ready for some Korean dinner at a restaurant. Tomorrow's our first day at work... we're both pretty nervous about it all, so pray for us along the way.

The views from your apartment balconies are amazing. Congratulations on making your place look so cozy. And do I get a special (Korean) prize for being the first to comment? Haha. Tatum

It's all so... amazing and ridiculous...

I've got a good story for you... once it reaches fruition (by the weekend), there will be an EPIC tale on my LJ

Glad to hear you're both safe and happy. Love you.
