This trip, so far, has been blessed. Everyone showed up at the church at 3:45 a.m. for our caravan to the airport; weather in Connecticut, Atlanta and New Orleans was fine; our flights were on time; and, thanks to our crack Van Man, Rick, we coordinated the transportation pickup in record time.
We collected our Korean partners, Kim Suntai, Kim Sungdug, and their translator, YoungMin Bae (son of Pastor Bae) and enjoyed lunch at East Buffet (far superior to King Buffet, thank you Sharon). I'm sure the Kims were delighted to have real Korean BBQ in New Orleans!!
They came bearing a mysterious box that turned out to contain Korean foods....equally mysterious until Min helpfully translated.
Jim has already begun his efforts at cross-cultural communication by forging a connection with Suntai Kim around the universal language of construction. Jim claims to have an advanced degree in charades.
After orientation, our cooking crew treated us to a fabulous taco dinner, contributing to our round-th-world culinary excess for the day. Unfortunately, the starving hordes prevented me from taking a photo. But by 9:00 even some of the young crowd had run out of gas. We need to get a good night's sleep for Patience Monday....
