welcome to daejeon

written 16/09/2018 to remember things by

Grateful to be a part of a learning experience in Daejeon. This will be the longest I will be away from work again after my Norway trip a few years back and I am especially excited if this would be as much fun as it was in Norway. I hope so, since I am accompanied this time by close friends from another agency.

Since it is February, and still winter, we arrived to a very cold temperature in Incheon, and lining up early in the morning for our bus ride to Daejeon was especially taxing after a four-hour flight. The bus stop was crowded by other bus riders and there was no place to hide from the cold winds. It was fun playing with our breaths and watching it come out of our mouths like little clouds or smoke.

The bus ride to Daejeon took us around two and a half hours and you can really see that it was cold outside because of the fog that is forming on the bus windows. This is the first time for all of us in Daejeon and although we tried to sleep in the bus, we keep waking up to see if we have already arrived at our bus stop. From there, we had to take a cab (with all our luggages - I wonder how we will fit them in!) to go to our training center. As a preparation, we printed out our instructions to show to the cab driver who may not be able to converse with us in English. The Korean instructions would apparently give specific directions to the place but maybe not too specific because we were dropped off at the wrong building and we still had to walk a few more blocks.

But, on our way to Daejeon, I feel quite excited because I would be seeing new things, learn new things, experience new things, and get to know new people.

good night for now, Daejeon

Thank you, Lord, for the safe travels and new opportunities.
