Well we are starting to get settled and adjusted. We have done a good deal of shopping to get apartment supplies like an iron, hair straightener, cooking stuff, etc. Things are getting more comfortable on that side. We have been exploring the city a great deal and having some fun before school starts. I start my orientation this week and Fleming starts hers next week. We are very much looking forward to developing a routine, meeting coworkers and getting into "the loop."
So far things have been going well but we have each been struggling with different bouts of culture shock. Fleming is in aww of the big city and how fast paced and busy it is. I am finding myself comparing my previous stay with this one as I dont know many people anymore. However, we have been meeting people, catching up with the few old friends I have and learning our way around.
We just found and joined a small gym and have also become part of a local yoga group. The best part of everything is getting back involved with the local foreigner church. They are amazing people and we cant wait to meet them all. Fleming will be helping out with childcare at church and we hope to join Bible study groups in our area.
Tomorrow we will be going to a movie theater and seeing Superman in 4D with our friends Meg and Dave. Yeah, you read that right, 4D. We also plan on going hiking at a nearby mountain this week. We are realizing what a great part of the city we live in. The beach is a 10 minute walk and the subway station is only 2 minutes away. We are also so close to many things in the city. We even went grocery shopping and found out that any comfort foods that we want can be found such as peanut butter and Classico spagetti sauce, to name a few things.
We keep forgetting our camera when we go out but we will be sure to focus on that in the future. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we begin school and keep adjusting.
Saturday morning yoga over looking the amazing bridge at the beach. Of course I happened to take a pic when everyone was bending over...

Sunny day at the beach!
Our real estate. Not too shabby!
At a petting zoo. Of course it needed a large wooden dog peeing...

Busan is one of the five biggest shipping ports in the world!
