If I taste any more SWEETNESS in life, I'm gong to go into a sugar coma ;) All that to say, I am undeniably content and at peace right now, and already love it here!

The flight seemed to go by in a matter of minutes, and I was awake for most of it. They fed us amazing food on the plane, too... rice, soup, veggies, kim chi, fish, salad, tea... all traditional Korean food that tasted like it was sent from Heaven. Ahhhh yum.

I could see the sun out my window for nearly the entire flight. It looked like we were flying right into it... it was absolutely amazingly beautiful, lighting up the clouds and casting colorful rays on the sky. Then when I could see land, it was green and expansive. I fell in love right away.

The airport was super easy. Everything was in English, so it was a no-brainer.

After I went through customs and got my luggage, I found my ride. He was a super nice older Korean guy who spoke no English, but had a friendly smile and was great at his job. Although, I did get a little wierded out when he was watching TV on the GPS as he was driving!!! Seriously, I video recorded it...

It took over 2 hours to drive from Icheon to Chuncheon. I was desperately trying to stay awake and look out the window - much to see, even in the dark!

We finally arrived at the hotel, and this sweet girl about my age took me to my room. WOW! What a fun place! Our hotels have nothing on this... the lighting, the flat screen tv, the sweet bathroom setup, and the ingenious energy saving mechanisms are super smart and cool.

Only negative is that I don't have phone access, and probably won't until I reach my apartment sometime tomorrow.

Better get some sleep, I have a big day tomorrow!...
