Hello all, this is Jessica's husband Pepper. I'm not as much of a writer as my wife, but I wanted to share how are journey has been so far. This is an email I responded to from my friend, Andy, who was checking in with us to see our our new lives in Korea are starting.

Man it's great to hear from you, we're definitely in the big city. It's so big here and there are people everywhere but they have been pretty nice for the most part. There are food and coffee shops everywhere! I feel like that's all we've done haha. We're both going to our schools today for orientation so we're pretty excited.

We're not fully used to the time difference yet but we're trying our best not to sleep during the day so we can get adjusted quicker. The flight over here was crazy long and we didn't sleep much at all. Plus our flight from NY to Seoul was delayed over an hour and one of my bags was lost so all that caused us to miss our last flight. But we were able to get on standby with another airline and they found my bag yesterday so all is good. We're in a motel for the next couple of days until we move into our apartment either tomorrow or Wednesday.

The beach is really pretty and the city is beautiful at night; so many lights across the building and bridges and fireworks too. However it's monsoon season so it's been kinda rainy and really windy but I think it's almost over. Trying not to get too homesick over here, but it's a little tough when we don't fit in yet at all. At least we have each other. Thank you so much for checking in, I'll keep you posted on our first week of work.
