Hello all-
I have made it after 18 hours of travel and one gate checked bag missing - don't ask, because I am perplexed by it myself. Mr. Lee picked me up at the airport and took me to my hotel, very nice accommodations. Then we went and had a traditional Korean dinner - I must say I was greatly surprised. I was expecting the kimchi (pickled cabbage) to be like our sourkrout and thank goodness it was not. There were pork strips, similar to a thick piece of uncured bacon, as well as a spicy cabbage mixture. So far the Korean beer is very mild; just like something you would find in the states.
After dinner, on the way back to the hotel, we were in the direct line of the riots that are occurring to keep U.S. meat out of Korea. Mr. Lee said approximately 100,000 police officers have been brought in just for the riots. But thousands of people are marching and chanting; just like what you see on CNN and the police are there to protect the citizens and some areas from them.
Breakfast consisted of french toast, tater tots, fruit, yogurt, and toast; and also included rice and a broccoli dish.
I hope this finds all of you well. As soon as I can get my computer back, or more regular access to one, perhaps at work, I will try to post pictures. Take care of yourselves.
Love, Lindsay

I am glad you got there safely. I am missing you too. Great to hear you enjoyed the food and the hospitality. Though its a bit worrying about the riots. Make sure you are chaperoned around the city for now.
I will try to ring later.
I love you
Take care
Hey girl, glad you made it safe and sound. Sounds like the food is pretty good but the safety could be questionable. I am sure you will be safe and I will keep you in my prayers.
Dont worry...detective Platt is on the bad search and we'll see what we can find out. Let me know if you hear anything but i'm gonna check with them tomorrow morning when i get to the airport and will continue to call and harrass someone until we find it :)
I interview at CSU on Tuesday so I'll let you know how that goes...oh and have one in KY the end of June.
Glad you made it and I'll talk to you soon..
Love you girl!!

Hey kid,
Hopefully they'll find your other suitcase soon. If the rioters approach you tell them that you are a vetetarian. ha,ha. "Beef builds beautiful bodies." It's good to hear that the food is americanized. Maybe you can share your popcorn at work. Ross said that we can use his Tahoe home and barbeque, so maybe we'll plan on the day before the wedding and hang at the beach and play some shoes and get sunburned. Maybe drink a couple of beers too. I'll keep in touch. Later Tater. LOVE YA, MOM
Who eats broccoli and rice for breakfast?!?!??!
Wow-eee! So GREAT to hear that you arrived safe and sound--This blog is really a great thing--we missed you at breakfast on Friday--and talked about you and your travels most of the time. We are praying for your safety--and of course..that they will serve your bacon..."extra crisp!" :) :)tee hee
Love ya--take care!
I am so so happy to hear that you made it safely. The whole riot thing makes me a little nervous…please be careful. I’m also glad to hear that the food is decent and the accommodations are nice. We couldn’t have you staying somewhere that wasn’t up to par . I can’t wait to see pics I bet it is just so beautiful. Ok, well I miss you. Talk to you soon and have so much fun. Love you!
Just writing to let you know that the BAG has been found. Detective Platt was successful in the location of the missing paraphernalia. Hope you are having fun eatting spicy cabbage and broccoli, glad you aren't my roommate (wink, wink!!) Take care of yourself and let me know what you forgot or are craving, if anything yet. Love you.

Love you
