Our first day of work was very easy-going but informative. We had a continental breakfast at school and
then heard about some Korean culture and different cultural things we will
experience. We broke for lunch at noon,
and the school took us to a Korean Barbecue place that we can actually walk to
from our apartment. The beef was
delicious and we didn’t have to sit on the floor this time! J We also
ran in to a family whose kids attend BFS, and Justin got to meet 2 of his
students! We have been told that they
are VERY excited to have a guy teacher!
From there they took us on a bus tour to a few places,
including the APEC house which has a great park and view. We are excited to go back and explore more on
our own when it isn’t quite as hot outside.
Then they took us to a different beach that is about 15 minutes from our
apartment. It was SO much less crowded
than Haeundae Beach, which we heard set a record this summer for having 700,000
people there in one day!
With all of the construction going on at school still, we
were not able to work in our classrooms at all.
My classroom currently does not even have flooring down. Everything has been taken out! They said we may not be able to get in until
Friday! So pray for stress levels with
that. The planner in me is so eager to
really get started.
Below are pictures of the view from our apartment at night as
well as pictures from our school outing today! Enjoy!
