Monroe, Washington, United States - 3rd February 2008

Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in a few days, Sara has been updating everyones and sometimes it gets hard to update with such a long update all in the same day... so here I am, ready to tell you about my trip. Although I don't have a lot of pictures of me sadly in South Korea, I do have some from when I finally did get to Washington!
This is the road to Bathurst, it was a bit of a bumpy road as you can tell, but Sara says she thinks it turned out good with all the pictures and the road lines, it was around 1 in the morning when this was taken. We left really early for the Sydney flight!
When we finally got checked in it was very sad, there were a lot of tears between Daniel and Sara, but it wasn't too bad, I was excited to go on my little journey! This shows you how stormy and gross it was outside the day we left!
...and this is the exact Asiana Airlines plane we traveled to South Korea in, isn't it big? Sara says there are even bigger ones called 747's. Dang!
...and finally we're in South Korea, and the first stop, is to call Daniel. This phone confused Sara, and when I saw it, it confused me a bit too! Crazy! It's even got a keyboard, thankfully she found one that was a bit easier to understand!
After that we relaxed a bit with a Pepsi, it had a strange can didn't it?
...it was really yummy! But because it was around 2am then it was time to find a place to curl up and get some sleep!
Here are some other random photos that were taken around the airport... it was a HUGE airport!
These signs we're all over! They say "Happy New Year" in the background you can see the ones that say it in English. :-)
This was a sign in front of the internet cafe... I wonder what it says!
There's more around the airport with signs all over the place, and a lot of them had English but not all of them!
Here was a huge sign over the "moving walk" as they called it there that showed the times from around the world! How weird is that? We we're 2 hours behind Sydney time... it was strange!
These were all over the airport as well, it was way too early to see our flight on it, but it was flashing between English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese languages...
Here's the money! It was paper, and the coins were REALLY light! It was strange having someone tell you that you owed them 27,000 won!
Here's a sign in the bathroom. It was a bit hard to notice at first, but the translation is a bit funny. :-)
...and here's some shots from the daytime...
...and it's almost time to go!...
...our flight was a little bit delayed by an hour since the other connecting flight hadn't arrived from Seattle yet... but it arrived and we got on, and arrived in Seattle at around 1130am. It was crazy going through customs and immigration but once we did we went home to Monroe and had a long sleep. No proper sleep for almost 3 days we were happy to sleep in a real bed! When we got here... Benni and I met up with Charity Bear who will be visiting and coming back with us to Australia! Here's a picture of us all together!
In the picture you can also see Kooka a little Kookaburra Sara got at the airport and her other TV Leo Lion who will be going on the Haunted TV Trail when he comes back from America. :-)
We then got to meet up with the resident house cats, aren't they big? The one at the top is Jethro, and the one sniffing us is Ellie. They're very nice for how big they are!
Because there was nothing to do and it was just a lazy Sunday we decided we'd make a pavlova for Sara's family! Doesn't it look yummy! It sure was! :-)
...we decided to go onto the back porch but it was SO cold we didn't stay for very long! It was really stormy and grey that day it looks like - there's threats of snow, and there's been avalanches in the mountains!
For the rest of the day we just sat down and watched what went on with them and finished the day by watching The Lake House which is a very confusing movie!
Well I hope your doing well mom! I've been thinking about you but I'm having heaps of fun!
