TOMORROW!

My parent's flight arrives in Seoul at 4:00 AM tomorrow!!!
I talked to them a couple of hours ago and they were hanging in the Korean Air Business Class Lounge.
They flew from Rochester to JFK and had a layover from like 6:00PM to 1:00AM.
At least they had stuff to do in that cool Business Class lounge.
I figured why not give them a call and tell them to have a great safe flight:)

I can't begin to even write how excited I am for them to come. I know I have already told you about my excitement, but I can't contain it.
It is like the time they came to visit me in Vietnam! We had such a blast exploring and experiencing the culture together.
This time, I get to show them where I have created my "home" for the next year.

I probably won't get the chance to write very much in the next week or so.
I believe they are staying in Seoul until Monday and then make their way to Japan. They are staying where I think is the most beautiful place In Japan, Kyoto. Then on Friday they are flying back to South Korea and we will go to Busan. Busan is on the south-eastern coast of South Korea. We will take the KTX bullet-train there. Busan has the largest department store in the world and has beautiful beaches.
I unfortunately won't be able to experience the beaches, but definitely the stores:)

Okay, time to go prep for the next couple of lessons for the next two weeks. I don't want to be bogged down with lesson plans when my parents are here.
Tomorrow I will head over to their hotel at around 7:30AM and hang around until I have to go to work at 4. I hope they can stay up!!! I didn't tell them it took me ten-days to get used to the time difference. I figured I would not tell them until they read this in my blog.
However, I did have training at 9AM one day after I arrived in South Korea and that made me even more tired. I had a weird sleeping habit because I was studying at the same time.
I have some places I really want to take them. I also have to show them where I work:)
I will just have to inject some caffeine into their system to stay up I suppose! hehehe.

Hope you are enjoying the fall weather!
