e "friendly skies." My destination--Seoul, South Korea. It didn't really hit me until today that I am going Asia. All week long people have been asking, "Are you excited about your trip?" My response has been a somewhat indifferent "yeah, a little." But, now I feel differently.As I dragged my suitcase to the front of the IMU to wait for the shuttle bus to pick me and my fellow classmates up, I was filled with a sense of excitement. This is really it--I thought. I'm boarding this shuttle, saying goodbye to Bloomington and hello to Korea.
Although I'm dreading the long and exhausting 14 hour flight the excitement and anticipation of flying halfw
ay around the wold and immersing myself in Korean culture for a week comforts me. I'm anxious to learn more about Korean journalism and technology.I have a pretty busy schedule with everything from visiting an ancient Korean palace, Korean media outlets, to veiwing the DMZ, partaking in a traditional Korean dinner, watching a knife show, and of course shopping. I'm sure this spring break trip will be one to remember. Although I'm tired and sure the flight will only increase my lethargy, I know this trip will be an enlightening and exciting adventure. The next time I blog, I will be in Seoul! I can't wait until I arrive in Korea!Stay tuned as I "Seoul" search...
