Sorry everyone, it seems that my camera cable refuses to connect to my computer and thus cannot upload my pics. I'm gonna work on it and try to get some up asap. In the meantime here are some answers to your burning questions:
Korean Food- for the most part good, kimchi is growing on me slightly, but the BBQ is excellent (you cook thin strips of beef and pork on your table and wrap it in these leaves with other stuff) and the street food is great too.
Teaching- is going well also, younger grades will be pretty good because curriculum is set and I think I'm starting to get how to make lesson plans for the 6th graders. And my co-teachers are excellent.
Apartment situation- my room is on the second floor (202) so not too high of a walk-up. I do have a closet and the bed is plenty big enough (just smaller than a queen size).
Korean ladies- I know you are all dying to know about this, there are tons of very attractive women out here (everyone is just so skinny) but it's tough to meet them (due to all of the GIs they think all American men are a-holes and a cultural norm that prohibits strangers talking) I'll just have to wait to be introduced by mutual friends (apparently that's huge out here).
Weekends- are great, with this being our first month here everyone is pretty open to getting together. And with no last call, it's typically a pretty late night. Also, I have a newfound love of karaoke (it's called a noraebong out here) which I've managed to participate in the last 5 weekend nights.
Gotta go but keep the questions coming and I love you all!

Too bad about the camera...we'll wait for the pics. Thank you for answers to burning questions! Sounds like things are going well for you. Great. Do you feel like a giant next to the Korean's? Especially the 3rd graders? Do you have to squat down alot to get to their level? What is the weather like? Beautiful here...cool at night. Much love, G'pa and G'ma

Glad to hear you're still having fun! Where are your fellow teachers from? What's your fav show to watch on TV? Do you take public transport or walk everywhere?
