A week in quarantine

So I arrived and rather quickly recieved a texted and then phone call from my coteacher telling me that I must not come to school for a week. Now, who would argue with that. So I embraced this week to get back to my yoga routine and adjust to the time difference and read. Three books. It has been incredible.

My plane arrived at about 5:30pm in Incheon, but it took a good deal of time to get through customs and grab my bag, etc. Then I took a "limo bus" which is really just a bus, at 7:40pm (same time I took it when I came back from Thailand) from the airport to Gyeongsan and technically didn't get home til after 1am, but I was wired when I got home and spent the time unpacking and settling in. At 3am I forced myself to hop in bed.

This week I have been getting up around 7or 8am and not napping. I made the mistake the first few days, napping, but lesson learned for sure. It is better to be floored at night and sleep soundly then to wake at 4am and not know what to do with yourself because you can't even contemplate going back to sleep.

The yoga studio has been a haven. I have only spent one whole day there. I was so sore the next day that I decided it was a good idea to take it easy especially since I started teaching there twice a week (tues/thurs). I teach body design class, which is ridic tough, but incredible.

Needless to say, my quarantine hasn't actually been much in the way of quarantine and I am utterly okay with that.

I arrived just in time to day goodbye to a great friend who is training in India for the next several months. I was bummed to be left to my own devices, but happy to know she will grow and learn in incredible ways (and hopefully share^^).

I am becoming more creative with my eating habbits here to try and live a healthier life. I brought back some freeze dried refried beans and have been adding them to the brown rice with black rice and lentils that I make. I also threw in some nutritional yeast for good measure. It was pretty tasty. I added soy sauce and sesame oil (South Korea's secret ingredients for everything) and it was pretty amazing. Feast. I also had tomato and peach juice from a juice shop for the first time and kudos to them. The drinks were really good. So yay.
