Sup sup sup. I don't have much to report thus far. I was taken directly from the airport to a small city about 30 minutes outside of Seoul. I'm living at a Hyundai training facility in a dorm with about 120 other teachers that will also be teaching English in the public school system.
I basically have just been going to workshops all day and teaching practice lessons in the evening. I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably gonna be a pretty good teacher. My classroom is going to be fully wired with a tv, computer, projector, etc. so I can use a ton of multimedia to school these young bucks. Oh yeah, I know for sure I will be teaching 1st-6th graders. This was a relief to me because I didn't really want to deal with 13-16 year olds. Boys that age are testing the limits of rebellion and girls' bodies are doing all sorts of disgusting things that turn them into emotional trainwrecks(not for me).
I've met a pretty good network of people here so far. I have two roommates, one from Boise and one from Oregon (he's a Beaver). They have both taught in Korea before and assure me that I got the best possible job available in Seoul besides the coveted public bathhouse toilet-cam operator. I've met some Brits, Aussies, and Canucks here too. When you add the US to that list I think you can safely say that these countries have the most well-traveled people; they were all over Europe and they're definitely all over Korea. I'm enjoying meeting all these new people and I'm getting excited to start teaching. Once I move into my new spot on Friday I plan to take some pictures and get them up on here. I will probably hit the city pretty hard Friday and Saturday night and I'll get some good shots of the street vendors, bars/clubs, and drunk businessman (which I have been assured there are an abundance of).
