We made it to Korea safe and sound. We arrived at our friend Rochelle's apartment around 11:30 pm last night. However the trip to get to Ulsan was a little more involved than we expected. After the 12 hour flight from LAX to Seoul, we went through customs, grabbed our four suitcases in addition to our 4 carry-on bags, took a 30 minute bus ride from Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport to catch a flight to Busan. Once we got to Busan we got our bags again and boarded another bus and an hour later we arrived in Ulsan. All in all we were quite exhausted by the whole trip. Unfortunately Amy was jet-lagged and did not sleep very well.

In the morning, we got up and had some breakfast and coffee with Rochelle and relaxed. Once we showered and got ready we went with Rochelle to a little restaurant she eats at often and had lunch. Amy had bibimbop, a standard Korean dish of rice, egg and vegetables mixed together. Scott had gogi mandu, Korean beef potstickers. After lunch Rochelle had to leave for work so we walked down to a nearby park and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. On the way back we stopped by a cafe and got a mocha for Amy.

Tonight Rochelle is going to cook us a meal at her apartment. Tomorrow, we will try and do some more exploring. We'll write again soon.
