we got to seoul a little before the orchestra but once they arrived, we had a bit of trouble actually getting on our buses to the hotel since the airport police wouldn't let us stop anywhere to load. our touring manager, julie kim (who by the way is doing an amazing job), did everything she possibly could to change their minds but they would not budge.
walking to our buses at the airport
as our buses pulled into lotte hotel, we were greeted by my parents who were waiting for us. soon after, my sister julie met us in the lobby and from there, we went to her church to attend a wednesday night service. it was great to finally meet many of her friends i had heard so much about.
afterwards, we went to my parents' hotel to meet up w/ my aunt grace (dad's younger sister) who is in town to take care of some things. we decided to go to a nearby restaurant to eat and just hang out. by the time we finished, it was pretty late so we caught a taxi, dropped my sister off at her place and headed back to our hotel.
thankfully, tomorrow is a free day but we have lots of plans, including a lunch w/ many relatives and dinner in insa dong, a very famous (and touristy) area of seoul.
