Hey Everyone!
Big News!!! I made it two Korea! I actually arrived a little over a week ago. So far I have met a ton of people, and have been to a lot of new places. I love the food so far, though I am not a fan of Kimchi in any form...yet. I have been told it will grow on me.
My students are wonderful. I teach kids from 5-15 years old. This is nice because their skill levels are all different, and the classes are all different. I don't spend an entire day with 5 year olds running around screaming and hitting each other, and I don't have all classes of 15 year olds who don't want to be there, and therefore refuse to speak at all.
I am living in the Deojung neighborhood, which is really great because there is a lot of stuff to do. There are a lot of restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. There are mostly Koreans here, but there are plenty of foreigners. I am glad not to be living in Seoul, too many foreigners. I don't think it would truly feel like being in Korea.
Tomorrow a Typhoon is going to hit the city, my school has already announced they will be closed. I think the government may have issued a statement telling all schools around here to close because it is too dangerous for students to leave their homes. I am excited to see what it will be like. I am a little upset I don't have the internet working in my apartment yet, but I have so many movies I won't be bored. There are several English channels on TV here. That is nice as well.
So far since I have been here is has rained every day except for 2, today and yesterday. Sometimes it storms pretty hard here. I am interested to find out what this typhoon is going to be like.
