Busy week!

Hey guys! It has been really busy the past few days! I've been doing a lot of observing classes and eating Korean food! There is a place right by the school that all the teachers go to on lunch. It's pretty good and really cheap. I got ramen with dumplings today for 3000W. I've gotten Bibimbap also, which is basically vegetables and rice with some other stuff. They serve kimchi with everything here. Some kimchi is really good and some is gross. I like the food here though. I'm just trying new dishes every day. After work today, Ben and I went to Kraze Burger. They have really good burgers. We needed a break from the korean food. There are Starbucks and Dunkin Dounuts everywhere here. We had to go to the hospital today for our drug and AIDS test. The hospital was really nice but the bathroom was a hole in the ground. I guess that is traditional bathrooms here. I had to give a urine sample and I wasn't sure how to use the toilet. It was wierd.

So, last night one of the teachers who is leaving took me and Ben out to GangNam. It's a pretty cool place. Lots of western bars. We ate some chicken Korean dish. Then we went to a bar called Woodstock. It was pretty cool. They were playing really good music and they take requests too.
This is Ben, the other new teacher

After that, we went to a hookah bar. You had to take off your shoes. They had mats on the floor you sit on. It was cool, they had a DJ.

This is Christen Teacher, she leaves on Friday and I take over her kids.

All of the kids call teachers by their first name followed by teacher. I'm Liz Teacher.

Here are some pictures of my apartment:
