Our new Kitchen
The Guest Room




Our spacious laundry facility


I this this would be call a half bathroom in the U.S.


This is our bathroom sink/shower. There is no 
danger of tripping when getting in or out of tub 
because there is none.


This is our bedroom/living room. The thing we have come to love most
all about our apartment the AC on the wall


Outside the glass doors is our balcony/laundry drying area.

So here is our blog.  I don't really know where to start.  We made it to Korea!  Today was our second day of teaching.  We decided to be big shots and walk home.  I thought I knew the way, but after 1/2 hour of walking, we decided we were lost.  So we walked back to the school and hopped on a bus.  We missed our stop because we didn't recognize where we were.  We rode all the way back to the bus station.  No one there spoke English, but we told them the name of our apartment complex.  One of the drivers got in his bus and took us home.  


Our school is pretty fun.  We teach Kindergarten in the morning and elementary school in the afternoons.  There is a chef there who cooks for everyone so we all get free lunch.  And so far it's been really good Korean food.  The kids are funny.  There is one girl named Olivia who likes to give me food.  Today she gave me and Carson a sheet of stickers.  Later in the day she gave me some crackers.  Then the next time I saw her, she was eating a chocolate biscuit thing.  I think it was like a pocky stick.  She handed me her half eaten biscuit and said, "Here I want you to have this."  I didn't eat that one.  


Our apartment is decent. We are on the 18th floor.  It's not much of a view though because there are other buildings that all face in toward the parking lot.  The other teachers who lived in here before us stole a bunch of the furniture so we are missing a kitchen table and a TV. But we will be getting one soon.  Our apartment has a spare bedroom so if anyone would like to visit, please do!
