DAY 1 - DMZ & Welcome Ceremony - Monday, June 15, 2009








Here we are in Korea. Alex loved the plane and the landing. We are a little tired because of the 12 hour time change. Alex is doing fine and had several hours good sleep on the plane. We had to drop off our suitcases quite quickly because we all are going out for dinner in a Kalbi (Korean style BBQ) place. Alex is still having some jetlag and therefore awoke at 2:30am (that's like mid afternoon for him).
On Monday we are going to the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone between South & North Korea) and the opening cermony for our trip. After that we will go to the homestay.

  2. Willem - the Korea time clock seems to be off time by an hour. Derek Armstrong had the same problem too since Canada sprung ahead in time this spring. C
