I found my seat on flight 424, which will take me to Korea, waiting for the plane to take off, I was staring out the window and thinking about my past. What all I had to endure and accomplished that had led me to this exact moment.
My name is Vanessa James, I was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, in 1989. I lived in Oxford up until I turned 11, and I am the youngest of four children. I have two older brothers and a twin brother, who is thirty minutes older than me, which he likes to remind me of every chance he gets.

I have no idea how they are or where they are living. When my parents separated I always wondered why my parents decided to separate us, why they didn’t just allow someone to have full custody during the weeks and someone else have custody on weekends. That way I would still know my brothers, and mother. I have wanted to see my mom for so long, and the loner I go the more curious I become. After I graduated from medical school I moved back to oxford. Because I was offered a job at Churchill Hospital, but that is not the only reason why I decided to move back. I wanted to find any clues as to where my mom and my brother’s ended up. I enjoyed my job at Churchill Hospital that is also where I met Nina Villanueva. After finding no clues about my family’s whereabouts, I decided to travel to Korea in hope of finding information about them. I remembered when I was little, my mom was talking about always wanting to live in Korea. I know that was a while ago, but that’s the only clue I have thus far, and I don’t plan on giving up until I reunite with them again and getting all of my questions

    Himeji-jo, or Himeji Castle, is a famous castle located in Himeji City of the Hyogo prefecture in Japan. It is considered to be one of the most well known pieces of architecture because of its unscathed appearance and well developed structure.

    Even though Rhee resigned long time before the coup was conducted, the roots of it date back to his regime.

Moreover, he ruled under the idea of defender of South Korea from North Korea’s communist regime.
