I am writing from Busan, South Korea for the first time since my arrival on March 4th. I had so many preconcieved notions and expections of this place and it truly has surpassed all of my thoughts more than I could have ever imagined. The day of departure Jace, Gabe and myself were to jump on a plane in Windsor and fly to Toronto. Due to the weather however the flight was cancelled and then began our mission upon missions. We found ourselves driving from Windsor to Toronto at precisely 6pm through hail and snow to make our flight from Toronto to Seoul, South Korea with just 3 hours time to make it for our departure. Despite all our reservations to drive in such dangerous weather we prevailed making the first turn of events on our journey all the more interesting. Our employer in South Korea at the school we are teaching at called to inform us that there were no flights from Windsor to Toronto in the next 24 hrs and that it was imminent we leave from Toronto that night in order to arrive for orientation. I am thankful for one thing and that was the rush and chaos left me no room for anxiety. I would have assumed the mission would make me appreciate my relaxing life I left back in Windsor, Ontario, Canada but it definitly was not so. We arrived at the Toronto airport just in time to make our flight. Despite the first bump in the road it added some excitement to day 1 of my Busan, South Korea mission. As our bagage check in and boarding ran smoothly however the preceding several hours showed no sign of light shining at the end of the tunnel quite yet. We found ourselves sitting on a dorment plane for a hellish 6 hours because of mechanical problems. I continued to be hopeful that we would still press on and make it to South Korea in one piece. The 14 hour flight ahead was now 20 hours and took a toll on us all patience wise, and not to mention Jace's since it was his first time on a plane. It was extremely unsettling to know that we were flying in the same plane that was experiencing problems. Despite a long and dreadful flight we made it to our destination safely. The next 365 days are going to be an experience of a lifetime from meeting new people to traveling, hiking, working, and adjusting to culture shock its going to be such an amazing time and life changing!
