For a while there we thought we weren’t going to get to Korea…the first day a 10 hour delay, we had to reschedule and get a hotel for the night then the next day 3 hour delay…we were glad to get here. If we hadn’t had the delays we wouldn’t have met some of the nicest people, so sometimes you can see God is at work for the bigger picture!
Seoul is such a nice place, very clean and organised, with beautiful trees and plants decorating the streets. We are currently staying in the guesthouse where we met our children for the first time. There are about 6 floors, and two of those are used as guest houses. On the 3rd floor is the little hospital where the babies stay before they are placed with foster families…I took Ashah there the other afternoon, so many cute babies, Matt also took Alex he loved it.
Seoul is a very easy place to live, and very much up with the times…there is a 4 level underground subway system that takes you everywhere and the whole city is wifi (internet that is). The food has been great and we have found a very cheap and fresh quality eat just across the road, the lady there was so nice she had a beautiful scripture up on the wall and there was an older gentleman eating there that looked as if he may have been homeless or poor and she didn’t make him pay for his meal…she even gave the kids extra food, I think we’ll be back there.
The kids are doing really well and we are all adjusting well to the welcomed change in temperature, its been cool but good weather to go around to do things. We plan to stay in Seoul for about 2 weeks and then make our way down to Busan by fast train (it takes over 7 hours by car but only 2.5 hours by train, it goes fast approx. 300km an hour!). Busan is a harbour city and some people that we met at the airport suggested some other destinations close by, so we will probably hire a car and drive along where the mountains meet the ocean and surrounding islands.
