Right, well, I made it to Korea alright. The flight was fine, although none of those amazing personal tv screens, but rather tv monitors spread around the cabin. It felt rather like being on a coach. Got to watch Cars and Pirates of the Carribean 2 though, so not the worst movies in the world.
Korea is fab. I've got an apartment (all to myself). That's right. For the first time ever I'm living alone. I live in the same building as an American teacher at my school, so that's jolly nice. They've given me lots of stuff including a TV! I can only get two English channels (although I suppose that's better than none) and I've a sneaking suspision I'm going to be spending most of my TV time watching the Armed Forces Network that is here for the American bases. Instead of regular adverts it has pro-Army recruitment ad's, info about restaurants and stuff on the bases, and warnings from various Generals about snowy weather, cultural differences and safety. Many American TV shows, but some I kinda like, so that's ok.
I'm still acclimatising and trying to get over the jet lag, but it's not easy. For those of you that care to know Korea is 9 hours ahead of the UK, so I've just realised that while writing this at 4pm it is 7am there!
Anyway, I've done some teaching and it generally seems to go alright. I'm taking over from a teacher that left so the kids already seem a little clued up on most things.
Righty, I'll post again when I have something more interesting to report. I'm going to Seoul on Sunday so might have some impressions after that...
