After some 20 hours of travel, Igor has safely arrived to Korea. Igor slept very nearly the whole time, waking from his nearly comatose state only to eat some ramen on the second of three flights before falling back asleep.

Korea has been very hot and very humid since Igor has arrived, ranging from high 20s to 30°C. It has been difficult for Igor, who is accustomed to cooler temperatures; however, he retreats to the cool of his shell when it gets too hot. It has been more difficult for Heeseung, who is even more unaccustomed to the heat and who does not have a shell to escape to when the sun is too bright. Luckily, there are ways to stay cool, such as hiding in air conditioned buildings and eating pot bingsu.

The past few days have been spent navigating the subway system (stops conveniently labeled in both Korean and English), eating Korean food, walking by the Han River (Heeseung gets flashbacks to the movie "The Host" every time she goes there), and sleeping at irregular hours in an attempt to shake off jetlag.

School begins in four days.
