Hello from Korea!

I've finally crawled out from under my jetlag-induced haze enough to say "Helloooo from Korea!" The trip was, well, let's say... LONG!!! It was about 27 hours of travel from door to door and I got a little bonus layover in Tokyo that wasn't on my itinerary. I don't know how you can say it's one flight when it stops in Tokyo for 2 hours, but whatever. Regardless, after 4 flights, 3 states, 3 countries, and 1 district, I arrived safely in Seoul where my dear friends greeted me with welcoming signs. (In case I didn't recognize them after 6 transformational months in Seoul.) So, after some extreme sleepiness in the middle of the day, I think I am ready to go conquer Seoul on my own. I know absolutely no Korean so there will be a lot of pointing and grunting and smiling, I am sure.
Also, I've included a picture of some of the many kinds of kimchi... we went to the kimchi museum yesterday! I'm fairly certain that i will never be in another kimchi museum in all my life so it was totally worth it.
