So I finished my first year in Guri, South Korea and am headed back for another. My first year was August 2010 - September 2011. This next adventure begins February 22, 2012! I can't wait and hope you continue to enjoy my blog and pictures.

Arrived
So I finally made it to Korea after an 11 hour flight and a 2 hour bus ride. Some guy did meet me at the airport but only to put me on a bus. He told me it was a 2 hour ride then I get off. Well the driver told me my stop but I had only been riding for 1.5 hours and my supervisor was supposed to meet me at the stop. Yeah, no one there. So here I am in some place on my own with no phone and can't read ANYTHING. I waited 30 minutes before I asked a stranger (who spoke some English) to call my supervisor and she showed up just then. Finally got to my "apartment" and it is so small with only a bed and a washer (all in Korean so no idea how to wash clothes yet), tiny kitcher with a sink and stove top, and a small cupboard. No fridge yet, no dresser, no table or chair and definetly no tv (hoping hulu works here). I am really going to have to learn to live very rustic. The shower is not a seperate thing but a shower head you pull off ther wall and it soaks the whole place. I am just looking forward to internet at my place and a routine so I can keep busy! I will post pics when I have my own internet. I am at the school now and the kids are very cute and speak pretty good English, way better then the people I talk to on the street!

I've seen the place. It's quaint! I'm sure you'll make it your own and get all settled in.
