jeju english camp

---

OK!
So this isnt a glamourous lifestyle but it is fun as hell. Every morning I wake up, dreading working my 12 hour shift, but then I realize how fun and easy it is, and I forget that I'm even working. But let me back-up

So I got on a bus to Gimpo airport, and took a two hour flight to Jeju Island (First Class!). As soon as we landed it was raining hard, and I found out, it rains 300 days a year here. I see it as a mix between London and Key West, loads of grey sky and light rain with tropical birds and plants everywhere.

From there I was picked up by three Koreans, all young but fluent in English (Fluency is something of a misnomer here. If you can carry on any conversation with anyone, you are fluent). They drove me to Halla College, the landing site for Jeju camp. I met up with other teachers and we did a walking tour of the city.

Gimpo
Gimpo Airport, there is a hand holding a mega screen

Cool building down the street
Cool

Lost in a farm
We just started walking in this random farm

A view down the street
A view of a common street - they dont believe in street names for streets that arnt main thoroughfares, and the store numbers are placed there by order of establishment - just an example about how age means importance in their culture

We stopped to drink
We grabbed a drink, they throw a bunch of free appetizers your way and the drinks really dont cost that much - usually $5 for a bottle of what amounts to be grain alcohol - and we tipped but they chased us out of the resturant as if we left the money

NAZIS
Turns out - Swastika means temple - I was really worried for a minute there

Eels
Stores have eels and fish and all those sorts of sea life that you can pick-out and eat there

My room
Its awesome.

The Cafeteria
The facilities on the campus are very new, its just the dorm building thats shitty - but it makes sense as the kids are currently destroying it

The Only way to get drip Coffee
You have to buy the coffee and set up the coffee machine yourself, LUCKILY! The instant coffee is actually good

Drinking again
Another picture of us drinking

Finally - My class
OK - so I work a ton, and I rarely get time to write, compounded with the fact that I'm tired and it takes a long time to load pictures, so I give one of my class and add more pictures in the near-by future
