We made it to Korea. Our flights were ok with nothing special to report. We arrived at about 10pm on the 30th in Korea. We took a 2 hour long bus ride into Seoul to meet our recruiter, and finally made contact with him at 12.30am! He dropped us off at a motel, and came back for us the next day at noon. We grabbed some lunch and took off for Yangyang, the city where the orientation is taking place.
There are 50 people in our orientation, with the majority being from the US. There are a few from Canada, Australia, and Ireland. This orientation is a new thing for our province, so there's been a lot of down-time and confusion. It's also been raining for the past 2 days, so all of our outdoor activities have been changed.
The real program starts tomorrow, with all of the "big dogs" coming to observe, take pictures, and shoot video of us. We're hoping it's more interesting than the past few days, as we feel like it's all old news for us.
We will go to our new city on Wednesday afternoon, and will most likely be shown around our school on Thurs and Friday. Our orientation director is stating that we most likely won't start teaching until Monday, which is nice to know.
Other than that, we're pretty bored! Our condo's internet isn't working so this is the 1st time we've ventured into town to use a local PC room, about a 15 minute walk from our place. The food at the cafeteria isn't as tasty as real Korean food, so we'll grab a bite in town b4 heading back to our room for the night. Our sleep schedule has been surprisingly irregular so we're working on that. We'll get some pics on as soon as we take them!!
