Workshop

Today I (H) went into my new workplace for a day-long workshop with my new colleagues. I met most of the ex-pat staff, which includes a total of about 15 of us. Everyone was eager to be there and I got a lot out of the day. In the afternoon I went to immigration and went through the hassle of changing my address, getting a new visa for a new job, and getting a multiple entry stamp. Luckily I made a reservation or I would still be there...B goes into his school tomorrow to pick up his contract and head to immigration (since our visas are up soon).
Thursday is the big moving day! The movers are supposed to be in Wonju at 8am and hopefully we'll be in our new place by early afternoon. B will go first, armed with cleaning supplies and our bank book (to pay the rest of the deposit) and Chomps and I will hopefully follow with the moving truck. We won't have any appliances so our main goal will be to buy the basics as soon as we're in. We've found a 2nd hand appliance shop near our new place, so hopefully they'll have good deals on Thursday. It's exciting to be moving but tough to say goodbye to our nice friends in Wonju. We had a going away party a few nights ago and we were happy that everyone came out to help us say goodbye to Wonju.
Goodbye dinner.
