Headed to the Eastside

So we're leaving for Seoul in mid August. Oh wait!, I mean July 11th, no July 3rd! No, sorry, its July 7th. Yes, that's it, July 7th!

After four date changes and two changed plane tickets we are finally about to embark for Korea on, yes that's right, Tuesday the 7th, assuming the date doesn't change yet again. Leslie and I were never quite sure if this whole thing would work out, but miraculously it has, and we are more excited than ever to go.

We fly from Salt Lake to San Francisco, and then on to Seoul a 12 hour direct flight. When we arrive we are staying in a hotel until the 13th when our training officially begins. During this time we have to pass a government health inspection so we can qualify for health insurance (and so the proper authorities can make sure we are not biological terrorists or ignorant transporters of the swine flu).

We have a week of training starting on the 13th, and then we start work at the institute; Chungdahm Institute, Seodaemun Branch to be exact. We hope to get a posting up a few days after we arrive, assuming we can get internet access, which shouldn't be hard considering Korea is the most wired country on earth.

Looking foward to posting again from Seoul!
