Josh's long day

So we got our wallet back! Actually this update is a little over due because we got it back 3 days ago=P Josh had a hard time getting it back though. He left for Seoul at about 11AM, it only takes an hour to get there and I thought that he would maybe be there for an hour, two at most, then with the hour train ride back I figured he would be home between 2-3PM. Unfortunately that was not the case! He didn't get home until close to 7PM!!! I was very worried all day long! What took him so long may you ask? Well...

First when Josh took his taxi into Yongmun it took a little bit longer to get into town then normal and when he got to the train station the train he was supposed to get on was pulling up. So Josh had to run to catch the train. Ok, not so bad, at least he was able to get on it. Then when he gets into Seoul he takes the subways that he was told to take to get to the police station and then hops in a taxi. According to the guy at the school the taxi should not have taken very long but this taxi driver didn't seem to know where he was going and it took 30 minutes before they arrived. At the police station Josh tries to tell them that he is there to pick up his wallet. After going back and forth with them for quite some time they told him that they sent it to another police station across town so they could send it back to Josh at the school. Josh was about out of money at this point because he was only able to borrow 30,000 won to get to Seoul and take the taxi's ect. So the police station was nice enough to call a taxi for him to take him to the next police station.

On the way to the next police station Josh said that the taxi driver seemed to get confused and had to call a few people to figure out where he should be going and it took over another 30 minutes to get to the next police station. But he finally made it, Josh was very relieved! He walked in and they went to go get his wallet, then he had to fill out a bit of paper work and give them his finger print before he could leave. Why they need the finger print, I have no idea! Everything was in the wallet, all of our cards and all of our money, we were pretty happy about that! So Josh didn't know exactly where he was, so he flagged down a taxi and asked them to take him to the train station. For some reason the taxi driver he flagged down told Josh that he wouldn't take him and Josh had to get out of the car. Josh wasn't sure what to do so he went walking looking for one of the main roads. He said he had to walk about 8-9 blocks before he found another taxi and he told the guy to take him to the train station. The taxi driver had said ok but after driving for 10-15 minutes he got on the phone as well and started to ask people where he was supposed to go. 

The taxi driver ended up taking Josh to a subway station thing instead of the train station after 30 minutes of driving around. Josh said whatever, he would try and figure it out on the subway. After asking a few people for help he was able to get on the right sub and made it to the train station and got a ticket home. Yay! After he arrived back in Yongmun they do not have taxi's waiting at the train station so he had to walk to the taxi station and then after walking to the taxi station he decided that the grocery store wasn't that much further so he walked to that and got snacks because he was rather depressed after his long day, hadn't had anything to eat either, and plus, that is what Josh does when he is depressed:) After that he finally got in a taxi and came home, intact but exhausted! Poor guy!
