Well I got here...
All is well. Minus the cold I have. The second in less than a month.
And mosquitoes like me apparently. I have an interesting collection of bites.
Apart from that, the teaching is fine. The children are mad, or mute. Will spend an English class talking Korean, and have an obsession with playing games. I have no children over the age of 14. I have one class that reads more like a fruit salad than anything - I teach Apple, Banana, and as of yesterday Strawberry. This is the reason children should not be allowed to pick their own names.
But I have an amazing group who keep on giving, the kind of class you could always work with. It's a shame they aren't all this good. Maybe then I could get rid of detention slips and stop losing my voice!
The area is nice. I'm living on a busy street full of small local businesses. This means I am not too far from a shop - good when you forget to take cash out on the way to work and have to return home only to go out again. The sooner I get a Korean cash card the better - no, visa doesn't work everywhere. Also handy when you realize you are short on bottled water - I have given up on the tapped variety for drinking.
I have put up photos from the local area, just a few snap shots. There will be more to follow, and a much more detailed posting too.
I may even tell you about the flight. Maybe.
