It's kind of hard to believe I've only been here three days. Maybe it's the jetlag, maybe it's the unhealthy amounts of alcohol that people keep making me drink, but it feels much longer. Well, I'm not to badly jetlagged, so it's probably the other one!
I was picked up from the plane by the “reinforcement team”, guys whos job it is to help us settle in. The apartment was missing a few bits and pieces, my matress was on the floor and there was no dinner table, but I really didn't care. I went straight to sleep. I woke up as it was getting bright. It must have been about five, I'd imagine, but I had no idea- I hadn't reset my clock on my mp3 player- the only time telling device I had! I made myself sleep some more, even though my body was sure it was the wrong time of day, then I went down to the Emart.
The Emart is a massive supermarket, on three levels, and they sell absolutely everything. Well, I presume they do, I didn't recognise very much of the food! I got some apple juice and noodles to tide me over, but I don't think I'll be eating at home very much. It's quite cheap to go out for food.
At 2 o'clock myself and Maccon Fionn had induction training in MoonKkang headquarters, and then we went to our respective schools for observation. The other “foreign teachers” (whenever somebody says foreigner, I keep forgetting that I'm one too...) are really nice. There are some really diverse and interesting teaching styles, and I'm actually just really excited to get in front of a class!
Then it was into town for drinks and food. There are a few other teachers starting at the company, so we all headed out to a Korean barbeque place. You cook the food on the table, and press your little button when you run out of food. It's amazing.
Anyway, I've got to iron shirts for tonight- (another drinking session?), but I will post tomorrow with more news. Oh there will be news!
