General Update

I thought I would give you a general update on our first two weeks here in Korea. It has been very easy to slip into life here, everything is so easy and convenient, we live about 20 feet away from a huge supermarket, we are right next to the subway and about 5 minutes walk from our school!

The job has been going well, it was a bit daunting at first but we have got into the swing of things now, with a bit of planning most of the lessons have been pretty easy. The kids are mostly well behaved although by the time they get to us they have already been at school all day so they can be a bit sleepy! I particularly enjoy my classes with the younger children as they are chattier than the teenagers and they come out with some funny things!

A street in Seoul

There is plenty of nightlife nearby, our friend Elias has been showing us the ropes in Ilsan, a bigger town nearby with some cool bars and restaurants. Everything here seems to be open pretty much 24 hours, on Friday we had dinner at 12 at night before starting our night out, crazy! We had our first night out in Seoul last night which was great, it is a massive city so we have a lot of exploring to do!

Other news ... I have started doing yoga classes 3 times a week, I have never seen so many bendy people and Jack is looking into starting some kickboxing classes too.  We are having a brilliant time all in all, except I can't believe it is Christmas this week, not feeling Christmassy at all :-( I am sure we will find some other foreigners to celebrate with though!
