Freak Show

Hiii. I made it through my first week and a half of teaching! Wohooo! It went really well. The kids are very cute and fairly well behaved, but I had to be more strict with them this week. Uh oh. :) They come up to me a lot and point to my freckles or stare into my eyes. Basically, I am a freak of nature and they like to stare at me. Maybe I should join the circus. Ha. I have done a little more exploring, but I have SO much to see. The neighborhoods are so different everywhere you go. There are a few areas that are full of bars and restaurants. They look like Time Square on speed... times 5. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating. They are full of lights on every building. The churches here have crosses that light up too. Its pretty funny.  I didn't get to do any exploring this past weekend. I came down with a cold and have spent the last few days hibernating. I have been pretty bored during the week, so I bought paint to make fabulous pictures. I am not an artist by any means, but I need some new hobbies. If three year-olds can paint, I have to be able to come up with something creative...or not. I'm also joining a gym here and will actually workout (unlike at home). If you have any other ideas, please let me know. I am really excited to make a trip to Cosco this week. I need some real coffee. Everything here is instant coffee and tastes like crap. 

 I have to get back to teaching! I will be taking a lot of pictures this weekend! Hopefully, I will have more interesting things to report. Miss you all! Love.

- Gift giving is very important here in Korea. It shows respect. The kids give me random things everyday. For example, sweet potatoes, candy, rice cakes, chocolate, and weird little toys. I only eat things that are wrapped, so I throw most of it away.
