If it were The Amazing Race we would be eliminated

We got to the airport two hours early like it said on the website and were the first in line this was our first mistake. The time was 3:30 am and the united airlines desk did not open until 4:30 am. We made it to Chicago just fine. However, when it was time to get on the plane it was announced that there was technical difficulties with the plane and that a replacement would have to be found. Two hours later we were on our way to San Fran and we knew we were not going to make our flight. We were met at the gate with new tickets and directions. Our new flight would take us to Shanghai, China and then on to Korea. When we got to china we walked around the airport looking for the next gate along with other lost Americans. I befriended another american and we soon found our way. Against Lindsey's wishes I waited for him and his friend to fill out paperwork. Lucky for me I did or else we would not have our bags. He told us that we needed to pick up our bags so they could be transferred. So we finally made it to Seoul around 1:00 am Friday morning and called our contact he then told us to get a hotel. The next day we then go on a five hour bus ride to get to Mokpo. We arrived and were greeted by two teacher at Lindsey's school who helped us load all our bags in their little car and take us to our new home. If you can call it that it is one room with a bathroom. Pictures will come when we have Internet in our apartment.
The country is very beautiful and I can not wait to see more of it. We hiked around a large part of the city today and had a lot of interaction with the people. A young girl said Hello and "I Love You" and now at the PC Room young boys try to read my writting and older ones do read Lindsey's as she writes about them.
And now I am going to join the rest of them and play some sort of online game. If you can't beat them join them...
