First posting... this will be somewhat short, I am meeting another foreign teacher (technically my boss) in a bit.
I arrived on Aug 25th. Received an amazingly warm welcome from the 2 directors of the school and a Korean teacher. They were genuinely excited to see me. It felt quite nice. I was the 2nd of 5 foreign teachers to arrive. There will be 3 Americans, 2 Canadians. My apartment is great! I have a little studio with HEATED hardwood floors. A huge window looks out to the street and other high rises. Unfortunately I have no curtains so I definitely feel like I am living in a fish bowl
My boss has been amazing. She took me shopping, showed me around the area. She speaks Russian, so that will definitely help me miss home a little less. I haven't done too much exploring yet. Tomorrow I am taking the subway to the center of Seoul (about a 1-2 hr subway ride) to do a "hop on hop off" bus tour. The rest of the teachers dont arrive until Sunday and Monday, so I'm on my own for now.
I will post more later.
