In a small car for three hours, 4 girls in the back and 2 guys up front, we drove into northern S. Korea (not to be confused with N. Korea) to find Jara Island.
After drinking and dancing for a few hours we had a galbi dinner (grilled chicken, cabbage, rice noodles, and onions).
Then I took a picture of my head.
Some kids climbed playgrounds.
Some kids drank more!
On my adventure to teach English in South Korea, I thought I would share some of the things I have seen and encountered. So far my biggest complaints are that my kitchen is too small and my shower is too close to my toilet! Everything else has only been a test of patience, and I've always loved a challenge!

Insadong
Lauren and I went to Insadong, Seoul and browsed through an amazing instruments market and had a very small 6,000 won glass of wine. We came across Korea's gaming generation and then checked out a sky high restaurant that we couldn't afford but it got us out of the rain. It's been raining like Ireland!

Saying Goodbye
Since arriving in Korea and beginning work at the ARIS private school, our director has been fired and our head consultant quit. Although Julie was the source of some troublesome issues, she was there with me and the other teachers through some good and bad times(most of which I have simply been told about). We celebrated Julie's time with us last night at a nearby restaurant and just after sitting I realized that there was going to be a lot of drinking going on. Scott, the new director, came in about an hour later from a "meeting". In Korea this word means drinking and smoking and drinking more. Scott, a man that doesn't normally talk, had plenty to say this time. He also dragged me into doing a "love shot" with him. Keep your thoughts straight, he's my boss, he's married with kids, and he's Korean. There will be no lovin away from taking a harmless shot with the man. Harmless for me, a little more damaging to his state of mind.
