Our first week!

Has it really been a week? We arrived in Seoul last Thursday night, moved into our apartment on Saturday, hung out with friends Sunday, went to a soccer game at the world cup stadium (North Korea vs. South Korea - a 0-0 tied score, unfortunately), and started teaching at our new job on Monday! That's normal, right? :)

Dan and I teach at an after school English academy in a district of Seoul called Nowon-gu, so our teaching day begins around 2-3 pm and goes until 8-9 pm. Not a bad schedule for our night owl selves. We have the nicest boss on the face of the planet, and the kids are cute and mostly well behaved. Some classes are better than others... The day starts out with the little ones (age 7ish) and finishes with middle schoolers.

So, here are some pictures of our time so far!



Fast friends - actually, just some Koreans who wanted a pic with us

Moving into the apartment...some friends had come to say farewell to Nathan and Lydia (the teachers we replaced)
