Lugging luggage that weighs more than myself is not a great thing. A couple of us got lucky. A guy gave us one of those luggage carrier things about half way there so that was a blessing. We had a 5 and a half hour layover in LA so after we checked in we got dinner and headed to go through security once again. We spent a good amount of time chilling till we boarded. The plane we got on was a three, three, three, seat plane. I had a window seat which was nice and our 13.5 hour flight began. They gave us slippers and a mini toothbrush, served us drinks, later a full dinner (mine was potatoes, beef, veggies, mozzerella and tomatoes, a pineapple dessert), and than we tried to sleep. Wow so uncomfortable, I am so sore, but I did get some sleep amazingly. Woke up about 3 hours till our destination and watched a movie. They gave us hot towels and served us a full breakfast (a muffin, yogart, pastry, pineapple). We arrived in Seoul at 5:55am Thursday. We had to go thru another security and went to our terminal. We had a Hello Kitty Cafe right by us and I got a pineapple yogart smoothie. We got onto our plane at 8:15am. It was a two, four, two seater.
So we are currently seating in the Shanghai Airport. Apparently there was a miscomunication and the Chinese Cordinators thought we were all coming on Saturday instead of today so we are sitting here and waiting. The airport is huge. We have decided that our motto is “to expect the worst, so when the best happens we will be pleasently surprised.” Hope all of you are having fun, cause we are bored.
We left the airport around 4 and got into a bus/van looking car. It was getting dark and starting to rain. We drove for an hour and it was so hard to not fall asleep. We stopped at a station and had our first experience with very cold squat toliets. There was a small store and we bought some snacks and juice. I got juice and it was really good. We had a two hour drive to our school. Most of us fell asleep. We got to the school and it was drizzling. We had to carry our luggage up to the third floor. Wow that was not fun. We have such heavy luggage. We picked rooms and went to eat dinner. They call it the cantina. We had rice and noodles and leeks and something that we didn’t know what it was but it was sweet. It was pretty good but we were all tired and didn’t really want to eat. We went back to our rooms and Sarah and I rearranged our room and set up most everything. We have WIFI but its password protected so when you actually read this we will have gotten the password. The beds are wood with a small pad on it and its actually read comfortable. I slept very deeply. Our rooms are warm but the bathroom, shower room and entry are freezing. We woke up at 7. We went to breakfast at 7:25. The breakfast was really good. Rice with leeks, choco frosted flakes, warm rolls with a sweet bean paste, noodles, oranges, and a seseme layered pastry. Now we are getting ready to go to the supermarket.
The Market was huge and kinda confusing.
Well that's all for now.
