We'll we've been here for more than 24 hours now and the majority of the time we've been catching up on sleep. I forgot to mention in the last blog about our experience with trying to find our room. When the guy at the front desk handed us our room key, it had what looked like 818 as the number. We weren't sure, but then he kept mentioning something about the 2nd floor. Because we were confused, we went to the second floor and tried all the doors and none would work. We finally found our room on the 8th floor and realized that the reference to the 2nd floor was about breakfast. Our room is absolutely fabulous with a washing machine and dryer, fridge, freezer, internet access and heated floors. There are buttons around the room and we're not sure what they're for. Blake was playing around with a few of them last night and set off some alarm and the front desk called and wanted us to shut it off, but we didn't know how.
We've been playing around with skype and it is absolutely incredible! We have been able to talk to my parents through video and call some landline phones for very cheap. The only downside is the difference in time (we are 13 hours ahead).
Today we wandered around Seoul for a while and managed to make it to Burger King by crossing the street underground. There are at least 2 Starbucks around the hotel and Dominoes and tons of Korean restaurants. We're taking our time with the Korean food. Seoul is very beautiful and there are wild roses that grow on the side of the road. We've noticed that the people here are always dressed really nice. Everyone has a cell phone and you nod instead of smiling at people.
We've met some more people who have just completed the CDI training and the word that we keep hearing is that it's intense. Apparently 6 people didn't pass and 1 was from a failed drug test. The drug test is a full medical where we go to the hospital and they take blood and everything. We've been told to bring a binder or notebook and writing supplies for training, but we're having a little difficulty trying to find these supplies. We'll have a look again tomorrow.
Anyways...we're going to try to get on the Korean time schedule by going to bed soon.

Happy to hear a friend helped you out in the airport - I guess you were his "pilot project"!! Now that you are "Seoul-mates" it's time to get to work, eh?! Glad the hotel room is sweet - and you thought it was going to be "in tents"!! Hey, if you're 13hrs ahead can you let me know how my day will go tomorrow at work?!
If you have to ask who typed this you're suffering from more than jet-lag!! Take care kids!
