Day 40 of Living in Korea-Summer Camp!

Well, this week has been FANTASTIC! Instead of having 22 different classes in one week, I have 2 classes every day. The 1st grade group has 21 students and the 2nd grade group has 17 students. The 1st grade is kind of quiet, but they're such good kids! The 2nd grade is a wonderful group! They are SO MUCH FUN!

Day 35 of Living in Korea-Cell phone shopping and 2nd trip to Costco

Well, today was one of those days that had highs and lows. I met two of my co-teachers for coffee this afternoon so we could hang out for a while and then go shopping for cell phones. You all know how attached I was to my Blackberry, so I was really hoping to find another smart phone.

Day 35 of Living in Korea-Seoul trip continued

The preceding videos show a bit of what we did after registering for the test. We went walking to see what we could eat for supper and found an amazing bulgogi (Korean BBQ) place.

Day 33 of Living in Korea-Best. Week. EVER!

This week has been so much fun! Monday I got to school and it was a normal day, nothing too exciting. However, my co-teacher told me that I wouldn't have any classes on Tuesday due to nationwide testing. Sweet!

Day 28 of Living in Korea-two more short videos

Wow, four weeks....so hard to believe!! I've learned so much about myself, about Koreans and their culture, and even a lot about America and our position in the world as well. The last month has been so eventful; I can't wait to see what the next 11 bring!!

Here are two more short videos of my school. One is a normal Korean classroom and the other is about the dreaded hole toilets. Fortunately I haven't had to experience those yet!

Day 19 of Living in Korea-Finally tried Korean food! (I'm so ashamed to admit that....)

What a great day! The people of Korea are definitely the best part about it. I worked hard this morning (and a little bit this afternoon) and got a LOT of work done. I'm still not where I need to be, but I'm getting closer. Unfortunately I didn't get to go home early, which is ok. One of my co-teachers stayed at the school and worked on her own work and then invited me to hang out with her after school was over.
