The Mouse is in Korea!

Where does The Mouse even begin!? She has had an exciting few days!

On Friday, 2 November at 6am, The Mouse left BWI airport in Baltimore, and had a 2-hour flight to Chicago, followed by a 5 hour layover, a 14-hour flight to Incheon, and a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to Cheonan, where her boss and co-worker met her.

The flight was spectacular. The Mouse got lots of sleep and ate bibimbap and pasta. She was very nervous, until she stepped off the plane at Incheon. Korea is a beautiful, friendly, very welcoming place, and The Mouse is happy to be here.

JK and Sung, The Mouse's boss and co-worker, were the best welcoming committee ever. They put The Mouse's mind at ease about teaching in Korea, and The Mouse had a lot of fun talking to them over Korean Barbeque and Makgeolli (Korean rice wine). JK let The Mouse use his phone to call The Mouse Mom, but it was understandably early in the morning in Baltimore, and no one answered, so The Mouse left The Mouse Family a message. The Mouse Dad's voice is on the answering machine, and it was sort of sad but sweet hearing his voice after talking about missing family.

There is another American teacher at Easy English Academy. Her name is Jennifer and The Mouse will get to meet her on Monday, but she did get to speak with her on the phone last night, and The Mouse feels like she definitely already has friends in Korea! The Mouse Fiance is also coming to Korea, and will be here on Tuesday night! The Mouse misses him already and will be so happy when he is here.
