Im leaving on a jet plane...

I am absolutely knackered. I left Glasgow airport at 10:50 local time, Wednesday. I had some harsh words to the check-in lady who decided to try and charge me for my extra luggage, even though I specifically went with Lufthansa because of their international baggage allowance. Otherwise I could of had a nice flight with Emirates. An hour or so in the sky and I was in London for a connection. Managed to grab some lunch at a pizza place and then make the next flight to Frankfurt. Arrived in Germany, and everything seems to be going well. Apart from the fact that they changed my seat. So then I got to speak to a very bossy German lady about changing my seat back. Got that sorted and then settled in for the flight to Seoul.

I did not manage to sleep on the flight. Bad. I watched movie after movie and then I got a bit restless and wacthed the miles count down until we hit Korean airspace. Finally landed. Got luggage together and then changed some money. An arrival party is waiting and we are ushered off to the bus that will transport my sorry tired ass to the University where the orientation is being held. The campus is about two hours south of Seoul at Dankook University. I manage to sleep some on the bus journey down.

We are paraded about the campus and then sorted into our groups and given the specifications to our dorms. Some fancy electronic device. Haul all the luggage across campus and then into the elevator and off to the dorm room. Very nice. We even get free high speed Internet! So thanks to that, I can keep this up to date. The bed is like a rock though. After some rest, we get a nice enough dinner in the cafeteria, and now I have made my exit to the dorm to get some shut eye.
