Hey everyone, so sorry for the long delay, just been a lot going on around here. Here's the lowdown: school is still going very good, skills are coming along and everything is great. Outside of class things are going great too, pretty busy all of the time. I've even managed to do a little traveling, spent some time on Muui Island (an island on the west coast) two weeks ago and went hiking in Seoraksan (a mountain national park on the northeast coast) last weekend. Both places were insanely beautiful (check out some of the pics below). Hopefully I'll be able to see some more of the country before winter hits. Weather around here is starting to cool off (around 70 or so) but still pretty comfortable. Starting to get the lay of the land around me and it's starting to feel a little more like home. It's great hearing from all of you so keep up the emails and I should be able to respond to those a lot quicker.
Reader mail:
What's it like being a giant over there? It's nice, makes it much easier for people to find me, although I do run the risk of banging my head every time I enter a room.
Where are other teachers from? Runs the gamut from all over the US to Canada, England, Australia and South Africa (anywhere English is the main language). The other teacher at my school is from NYC.
What's TV like there? I opted not to get cable (just watching tv online) but judging by what I've seen, it would be crazy, think crazy Japanese game shows.
How do you get around? The subway here is pretty extensive and so I take that pretty much anywhere, I'm only a 2 minute walk from a main station.
What's your favorite noraebang song? Haha, don't have a favorite per se but Billy Joel has made many appearances.
