Dear diary,

I, Junkook, am 22 years old. I am an astrophysicist - the youngest to come to an expenditure to be precise. I am on a voyage to the iciest place on earth, Antarctica. I have been wanting to explore the southern pole for quite a long time now and it is finally coming true. We will be arriving there by tomorrow. The week-long journey has me exhausted but the fact that tomorrow I will be in one of the most exotic locations in the world has me thrilled. Not to mention, I am the first from my family to make a voyage this far, perhaps from my town as well. You will be my companion for the rest of six months, I want to keep this memory with me forever. Don't be mistaken, I am not alone, I am with the chief, he has been there before and must have had a lot of experience, I presume. I wanted to bombard him with questions but he didn't seem interested in having a conversation. Maybe after a while, when we will get a little comfortable with each other. It is half-past eleven, I should rest for now.
