welcome to south korea

hi everyone
we made it to korea. we were met at the airport by a teacher from the school and then caught the bus to daejeon which took 4 hours. after that we drove to the school which took another
30 minutes and met some more teachers. everyone has been very friendly and helpful at the school. we have a really nice apartment on the 15th floor which is a 20 minute walk from the school. its good exercise every day and is nice to do when you've been inside all day. we had a fancy lunch with the principal, vp and 3 other teachers which was fun. next week is exams so the staff get to climb up mt gyeryong which is 5 mins away and then have dinner. it takes 3-4 hours to reach the top. i cant even walk the bridle path and its higher than that. should be interesting. the hardest thing is not being able to speak korean. i am forced to go shopping with my phrase book. without that i couldnt get what i wanted. its a different culture but people are polite and try their best to help you. we have only seen 2 other westeners since leaving the airport and none in our school or city. its great we have each other. miss you all.
