It's our first day in South Korea! We landed at 0735 Korea Time and was so exhausted. We hung around the airport while waiting for our airport pickup. We met exchange students from other countries (China, Taiwan and Malaysia). We finally left the airport for Gachon University at about 1330.
On the way to Gachon University, we took the arrival ART test and spent the rest of the day cleaning up the room and buying all our living necessities at E-Mart (similar to Giant in Singapore).
Our first meal in Korea! (Bossam with Rice):
