Morning Calm


We arrived in Seoul yesterday here, today there. Figure that one out.
We're 14 hours ahead of CDT, so we are quite literally in the future. It feels like the future, too. Seoul is very big, very modern, and very densely inhabited. They call Korea the land of the morning calm. It's anything but; Neon signs blink throughout the night and a chorus of trucks engines and car horns began their work just before sunrise. Still, after some delicious food, we slept great.

We're staying in Professor Choi's apartment. It's a well-appointed and efficient flat on the 17th floor in downtown Seoul, within sight of Sogang University. We're humbled and immensely grateful for his putting us up.

The picture is the view from our bedroom.

The view from your apartment is beautiful! Thanks for keeping those of us here at home posted - I can't wait until we see the first photos of Lily. Please tell Max that I want to hear all about the trains in Seoul.
