Arriving and getting adjusted

       Hey everyone! Greetings from Busan. We arrived safely after a long flight from Charlotte to New York to Seoul to Busan. We were picked up at the airport by our recruiter and brought to our apartment. We decided to drop our bags, take a walk to a PC room to email our families and to have a victory beer at the amazing beach that is only a 10 minute walk from our apartment. Since that time, we have unpacked our bags, been shopping for supplies like an iron, hair straightener, foods and explored portions of the city. Fleming has already had some fun experiences communicating our intentions to taxi drivers and other cultural misunderstandings. Overall, things have gone smooth and its been great!
       On our first full day here, we hung out at the beach for a bit, went shopping and took in a Lotte Giants baseball game. It was a ton of fun full of loud singing, cheerleaders, eating fried chicken, cold beer, dried squid of course baseball. We ended up getting home and in bed around 9:30 and slept all the way until 6:30 am. Take that jet lag!!!
        Tonight we will be having dinner with my old co-teacher that I have stayed in touch with for 3 years and then maybe going out for a bit. Saturday will be spent playing volleyball and hanging out on the beach all day and Sunday will be dedicated to meeting members of our church, attending a cookout and making friends.
         We hope we will continue to be in your prayers and thoughts. We do not have cell phones yet but can easily be reach via email. We would also love to speak with you on skype. You can download it for free, its easy to use and a great way to see all your beautiful faces. Below are some pics of our apartment and other things.
       Oh, and it is official, we are going to have a second apartment in our building starting in July. I suppose we needed a winter home at the beach.....Also, its open and ready for visitors to Busan.........
