Living in Seoul

So here is a little about our life here in Seoul. This is the apartment that we are currently residing in. Its tiny but its close to the office and around a lot of action. Its just one room and a bathroom. This our first drink of Soju in our new apartment.

This is the outside of our apartment building. The big blue sign is a Noribong which is a karokee bar but it has many different rooms and you are only in a room with your own group. Its in the basement of our building. We havent been yet in Korea but Ness has done it in Canada.

We will only be here for one month and after that we will be moving to a larger apartment which will be a 45 minute commute to work. But it has a balcony which will be very nice. We dont actually spend that much time in our apartment since classes can run from about 11 am -10 pm. Although we dont teach the entire time its nice to be there at lunch since the Connexus/KAC staff always eats together and we also cook supper at the school. This is the street that Connexus is on.

And here is us enjoying some Korean grub with our fellow teachers Heather and Joel. They showed us around on our first day which was very kind of them. The food is fun because they usually cook it right there on your table. Usually all the food is communal except for the rice dish and the soup which you place on your own plate/bowl.
Well thats my Korea 101. This is what i have learned thus far, so if you already know all this, sorry, but it might be interesting for some of you. Shalom,
