And it begins...

So Emily and I have returned. Not from Thailand, as the blog may have indicated and we previously planned. Instead, we decided to exchange Thailand for Canada and visited our home and native land for a glorious three weeks.

The weather was fantastic, the people were wonderful and we both had a really good time. After about two weeks, though, we began to be homesick. Although we were in Canada, we missed our other home. We had a really good time in Canada, but it certainly felt more like a vacation. Our friends and family are in Canada, but our life (other friends, routine, apartment, etc.) is in Korea.

Our trip back to Canada was uneventful. We flew Edmonton - Vancouver - Incheon (Korea's international airport) and took the bus down to our home city of Gwangju. Our flight leaving Edmonton was delayed because security took an especially intense look at several passengers before allowing them to board (one lady came on the plane crying because of what had happened). Other than that, though, nothing of interest.

Our experience as people in a foreign land began the day after we arrived, in a story I shall tell in a separate post. (That way, I get to have two new posts and the same amount of text! What a good blogger I am.)

Here's a couple of pictures from our Canada trip. The first and second are from Emily's birthday, and the third is from a day we went sledding (that's Mom Jackson there).
