안녕하세요 ( An-nyong -ha-sea-yo) Hello !!!!

Finally my first entry ! Im so sorry that it took so long but it has been very hectic here . I did not have internet connection for a long time and my day has been pack with so many different things. I have six hours lectures on how to teach and than I have one hour of Korean lessons. Ok so I just want to say Korea is different but FUN! Its a whole different world over here, but I guess you could say that Im in the Honeymoon phase ( I learned about that in my class ) .

The flight here was super long, of course, but I had to take two connecting flights one from LGA to Philly then Philly to San Fran, and then San Fran to Korea. The flight from LGA to Philly was super scary ( for those that are afraid of flying do not do it ) . The plane was so freaking small that when I step on it my head almost hit the ceiling and my backpack could not fit on the plane they had to check it under the plane. Other then that my flight from Philly to San Fran, was pretty much smooth sailing. The food from San Fran to Korea was good, I watched Xmen : Wolverine movie, the Soloist, and Family. They gave us a ton to eat, and I had the Korean Fish and Rice. Im already liking Korean food.

Im staying at Jeonju University ,and I have an awesome roommate name Helen, whose from Chi-town aka Chicago. Its great because we are both in the same boat, with being excited and nervous about starting to teach here. Just like about 70% of the other people here. There are about 600 people from the EPIK program ( English Program in Korea), and everyone is not American. There are people from the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand ,Canada and South Africa. The dorm rooms that we are staying in are soo nice. Its also a Korea style room . I have to take my shoes off before I actually enter the room.

We went out the other night which was awesome. I got to try some Korean Beer ( which wasn't that good, it kinda of tasted like Budlight Lime) and try this liquor called Souljo ( which has a Grey Goose feel to it, only because it goes down smoothly ) Ahh , almost forgot we went to a Narebong( a Karaoke Club) Its not your typical Karaoke club in which we are singing to the whole club , but you pay for your own room. Its so cool , and the lyrics come up on the screen, and there two microphones, its so cool. ( I will post pictures soon)

We also took a trip to the city of Jeonju and we got to walk around the cute Korean village. There were a lot of traditional style houses. We made fans and took a tour of a lot of temples. The temples were incredible. Also this teenage Korean boy came up to me and gave me high five ! They are so fascinated by Americans. I love when they stare ,LOL . ( Yeah I know that was weird)
