Back to Work

Well, after only one week of actual work (not training), we enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of Seoul. All other teachers with the exception of a few went in other directions for the vacation, so we were on our own for the most part.

We took the weekend to relax and try and let all the information we have been receiving soak in. We spent Saturday night with four other teachers, and went out for a traditional Korean dinner. Correne was of course, served rice and vegetables, while the rest of us ate spicy chicken. "Paul likes spicy chicken." We also explored an artsy area of Seoul. This area is called Incedon, and has tons of galleries, shops, and places to eat. Three of those teachers were on their way to Singapore on Sunday, so we called it an early night.

The weather here is so hot, that most days were just way too hot to walk around. Not that it stopped us, but it did make it a little tough. We saw one temple, two palaces, and some tombs. Check the photo album for pictures. It is pretty cool to be able to see this stuff on your days off. We explored the temple and tombs with Andrea (from Halifax), and the palaces with Ivan (from Dublin). We had a good time, but in a way missed the school. I guess we haven't been there long enough to be dreading the first day back after vacation.

That's it for now, check out the photo album, and let us know how you are all doing.
