2 Weeks Later

Well...Lots has happened in the past week that I haven't had time to write about! Currently I am at work on one of my breaks and decided to clue you all in! I absolutely adore my students...most of them anyway. I dont' have internet or cable yet so everyday in order to talk to my friends and family via skype or email, I walk about 2 miles to get to a Paris Baguette and have some hot lemonade.

I don't mind the walk right now, but when it gets really cold it might get old. On the walk to anywhere, I have some pretty interesting things happen. One lady tried to give me a hi-5, and kept saying thank you thank you...I was like...Ummmm, your welcome? Not really sure what that was about but it was comical nonetheless...and we all know how much I enjoy a good hi-5!

The other day I had a guy get off his bike to talk to me. I was like...uhhh hi? HAHA...so Korean people are fairly friendly! I did have one student ask me if I was ever nervous because the color of my skin is black. I wanted to be like um, are you nervous? Because I was born this way. HAHA...no seriously, they are just really curious. There is not much diversity among them besides us foreigners who come in to teach them.

Last night was my first night out where I met some of the other teachers from other Branches in Bundang. Really cool people. Most of them are Canadian or European. I rode the subway here in Bundang which by the way is the cleanest thing I have ever seen. I also had this joyful explosion in my mouth called "Goduk". It's like an inside out pancake that has a doughy, cinnamon gooey inside. People make them right there on the street with a grill and they are super cheap, and served hot. So, on a cold day it is just what the doctor ordered! I have some amazing pictures that I will begin to post to my blog as soon as I have internet up and running!

I will be sure to keep you all posted on all of the new experiences...ohhh this weekend I should have some good stories, I am going to venture to the big city of Seoul! Wish me luck!
