Today is the day we've been waiting for, our flight to Tashkent. We're currently sitting at the Incheon airport in Seoul enjoying some snacks and a glass of wine.
It's a short 7 1/2 hour flight to Tashkent, so we will get in around 9:00 pm local time. We've heard that it can take up to 2 or 3 hours to get through immigration and customs, so we have set our expectations accordingly.
Our plan is to get checked in to the hotel our new school as set up for us, get a good night's rest, then start exploring Tashkent. We've already located (google maps) some fitness centers and the internet has helped us locate a few Italian and French cafes where we will be able to get our espresso fix. All new teachers get together next Tuesday to begin the non-school related basics--that is, finding an apartment, setting up bank/phone accounts and arranging household help.
Will post again soon to let everyone know how things are going.
