Less than 72 hours...

Today is my last Saturday in Ulsan, South Korea.  I am spending  it playing the ' I CAN make this all fit within my baggage allowance' game.  Hooligan is spending it getting a bit more freaked out as more of the apartment is empty...

Hooligan and I will not be traveling together.  My employer booked me on a 1 stopover flight on China Southern Airlines; Hooligan will fly direct with Emirates.  We both have long travel days coming up:

Thankfully Hooligan has a travel agency in Dubai that will take care of his clearances and deliver him to my accommodations.

On my behalf the school has book a welcoming service to meet me just inside my arrivals gate and assist me through the airport, customs, immigration, and baggage.


I have also learned where I will be living.  I have attached a web sourced photo of the outside of the building.
