First Week At School
We
walked to the dirt-rod building where our school is located. We expected the school to be its own building but it's actually located on the 6th floor of the Elegance building. Got off the elevator and to our suprise was a brand new school. A "Sick, Wicked, and Nasty" was definetly in order.

A "Sick, Wicked, and Nasty" was definetly in order.The great thing about where we live is that we can leave 5 mins before we start work and still get a coffee and make it on time. Everything is really close. It's also really lax at Kang's because we can listen to our pods while we work. One of the only disappointments was that there were no other foriegn teachers. They were all older Korean women. Not old old, but older.... late 20's and up.

Anyways the week went well overall. The job so far is really easy. We have way too much time on our hands when we're not teaching, which is good and bad. Sometimes it's really boring. The students are really good, only a couple of trouble makers, nothing we can't handle. Oh, and did we mention that the job was easy?
Here's a pic of the entrance to our beautiful workplace.

The girls we work with are super nice. They are always buying us donuts and cold coffee bevri, among other treats. Another thing, last week we met two of the investors for Kang's Academy. They thought we were moshta (handsome) and we got two pimpin tickets to see USA vs. Lithuania at the World Basketball Championship's this Sunday. Oh Yeah!!
Anyways, be back with another post soon. Peace.

good luck in Korea. You are going to have an amazing time there. You may find most people want to exercise their English skills on you. That should be fun.
Thanks.
We're finding they really love it when you try to use thier language a bit. And yeah, some people will come up to you out of nowhere just to chat. Pretty interesting.
