They have arrived!

Just a quick note to say that Emily's folks have arrived safely in Korea. They had a safe and good trip, landing in Korea two days ago and arriving in Gwangju yesterday. Jet lag does not seem to be a problem so far, which is just one of God's many blessings.

We went out for supper last night (sam gyip sal, which is essentially fried pork, lettuce and side dishes) and they really enjoyed it. The ladies in the restaurant gently hovered over our table all through the meal, making sure our meat was cooking properly (you cook the meat on a burner at your table for this meal), plates were not empty for long and even bringing out forks when it seemed like the chopsticks were a bit of a losing battle.

Kudos to the Jacksons, though - they didn't give up and persevered with the chopsticks to the end of the meal.

It seems like Korea is going to work out just fine for them.
