I'll start by saying how grateful I am to the people at Sejong University who have come through on promises in the last few days to make sure we had all we've needed to arrive comfortably. From the visa business in Malaysia, to the airport pickup, to the hotel with a nice breakfast included for 2 days has been very nice. And lastly, the apartment we saw last year is the apartment we have been given. It's ready for our use and there is a bit of furniture in it. It's tiny, as expected, but in good condition. The kids did enjoy wandering the big park next door and seeing the zoo and theme park. Molly says it's the only thing she likes in Seoul so far!
The last thing I hope Sejong can do for us tomorrow is get our shipment from Vietnam released from customs.
Some of the novelty of the move wore off today as we unsuccessfully tried to shop on Craigslist (like Kijiji) and wonder from store to store and we arrived at a huge market hoping to shop but it closed 10 minutes before we got there. All in all, the day was not fruitful.
We move to the apartment tomorrow, so the pressure is on. There were 2 single beds and mattresses in the apartment for the kids to use, but if we don't get a queen bed by tomorrow at 9pm, Barry and I will be sharing a skinny fold out mattress on the floor. Maybe I'll let Barry have it and share with Molly instead!
We're off to IKEA ( the world's largest) to get what we can tomorrow morning. I'm not sure how the delivery will work, but we'll find out in the morning. A mattress, a bed frame, bedding, towels and dishes are are priority!
The kids are hanging in there, but the last two days have been overwhelming for them. Molly's priority is buying crafting items so she can make art projects, but it'll have to wait...I really don't want to sleep on the floor. She's running out of patience...
Pray for good shopping tomorrow for us so I can hit the craft market before it closes at 6:00.
