BUSAN!

Well, we finally made it to Busan. Can't believe we are actually here. Since we aren't married, we got 2 apartments. Mine is really spacious and has a loft where the bed is. Lots of storage space, big living room area, nice size bathroom and the loft is pretty big, too. The apartment building is in a pretty awesome area, as well. There are lots of bars, restaurants, coffee shops and stores everywhere. Pat's apartment on the other hand...about the size of my bathroom and entry way. Pat said that he opened up his suitcase and had no more floor space. HAHA! So, we got really lucky that at least one of ours is big. All in all, we got a pretty good deal.

We met with our co-teachers on Monday. Mine is pretty cool. He jokes around a lot and knows quite a bit of English, so I'm really pleased. We start work tomorrow but it's Friday so we only work for one day and then have the weekend off. We have to prepare a PowerPoint slide to introduce ourselves. I'm having a hard time with finding pictures because so many of them have us drinking in them lol. Not appropriate for elementary school kiddos. I'm pretty nervous to start tomorrow but I'm just going to go into it confident and hopefully it all works out.

Last night, we went out with a bunch of people from EPIK that are also placed in Busan. Soooo much fun! We went to HQ bar which is owned by expats so they had a lot of our fav. cocktails. No Vodka Redbull =( but they did have Long Islands, so I was set =)  After the bar we went to a Nori Bang (karaoke place...sshhh) where you get your own singing room. Lots of soju, beer and bad singing lol.

Things I need to remember:

• Get used to getting stared at on the subway as though I have 3 heads
• Wear shorts over my leggings unless I want to get stared at as though I am naked
• Most restrooms require you to put all of your toilet paper in the trashcan next to the toilet...sometimes an open trashcan...with the toilet paper exposed
• I will get giggled at about a million more times due to my small ability to say anything in Korean
• More to come..

I will post pictures of our apartment tonight once we get back for the night! Miss and love you all!!
