Day 1 in South Korea

August 18th 2016

Well, I have been awake since 4am, jet lag is not all that fun. At the time I had no idea that anything could be open to get some food so I bascially lay awake starving until 10am when I started to venture out for the first time by myself. The only thing I really found open was a KFC so I embraced my American hertiage and got a chicken sandwhich and some fries.

Thank goodness a fellow teacher came to pick me up to walk me to the school becuase I probably would have gotten lost since I was driven here the night before. It's a very short walk from my hotel. It was super hot and humid today.

I spent the afternoon and evening shadowing my fellow teachers. They all are pretty cool. The teaching is straight forward because all of the curriculum is provided for us. I will have my formal training in Seoul next week.

After work, my collegues and I went to dinner. We got (you probably guessed it ;) ) Indian food! It was delicious. I love that I have been in Korea for a day and a half and I have really yet to eat Korean food. C'est la vie.

A coworker happily walked me back to my hotel room so I wouldn't get lost and we stopped at a convienence store so I could get some breakfast and a snack. There are so many places in such short distances. I have never lived in a city before. It's nice to just walk outside and bascially be feet away from just about anything I could need.

I don't really have any anicdotes for today. Mostly I am exhausted and can't continue to reflect on the day. More to come I am sure.
