Seogwipo - An island paradise

Hey everyone!

We have arrived on the island and it is beautiful. It took us 30 hours to get here and it was all worth it. We have been able to visit the city of Seogwipo for three days now and we like it a lot. We have been able to visit the ocean, the markets and have walked around some of the city. It is very interresting. The only problem is that we do not speak the language. We are learning some korean a bit at a time. It is very interesting.

As for our work, it is going to be very new. We have been to the school a few times and have met some of the teachers. Everyone is nice and helpful. Our supervisor has been very helpful and he even got us our bank account all ready. We have already moved into an apartment and have made it home. Although we may have another option for an apartment, we'll figure it out in the next few days. Today we will shadow some classes and then tommorrow we have a day of orientation. The big day is Thursday. We will get our own classes. It should be interesting and a lot of hard work.

We'll be in touch soon!

Christian and Karina
