Starting School

Well, we have just completed our first week at school! It has certainly been interesting, beginning on the Monday with teaching 6 classes! We have definitely been thrown in at the deep end however the school has been very supportive and the two other foreign English teachers have been really helpful. The kids we are working with range from about 9-16 in age although in Korea when you are born you are already a year old, so in the UK these kids would actually be a year younger! They are mostly pretty sweet and much more well behaved than your typical British teenagers. A few of the highlights include: starting work at 2pm, eating cake out of a cup with chopsticks for another teachers birthday, saying boobies instead of movies (one of Jacks highlights anyway), some interesting names including Albert, Michael (pronounced as Mihal) and Bishop for a girl! We have learnt a lot this week and I am sure time goes on we will get into the swing of our new jobs as English teachers. There is a lot more to say and many pictures to post but we won't have the internet installed until tomorrow, see you then!
