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!

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