I'm here

I'm here. Korea... Seoul... Mok-dong...
The flight out was long. Though it was enjoyable. Asiana airlines was great, fantastic service, good food, and the flight attendants did not act at all miserable like I often see while flying.
I got in, took the bus, and got picked up without a hitch. There was an open room at the apartment complex, so î moved in... Not sure if it's my permanent room yet... Only time will tell. It's small. Though I feel like I have a little more room than I had in NYC.
I am without cell phone and internet. It'd tough. Definitely I have a tech addiction... But planning on how to do everything requires the net and phones, especially since I don't know a lick of Korean. If i get separated from my group of people, I am up the river without a paddle.
I spent Friday observing what I'll be doing. Wow... It'll be fun and an adventure! A roller coaster for sure. The kids already say Eric teacher is a giant. Its great though. The teachers that are also at the school have a great group spirit.
Last night after work we got Korean bbq. Fantastic! Afterward We went to a neighborhood called Hongdae. It is a place with many bars and tons of neon lights. We went to an Irish pub in the foreign district. Felt just like a pub in the states. The beer selection was not great. A pint of Guinness was 9000 won. I met the owner. She I think is in her late 20s (so I'm told). She is Korean but spent time in Ireland.
Okay... Will since I'm Wi-Fi jumping, that will be all for now. I'm typing on my nexus... Being in front of a computer will help... Then I can add pics. So hopefully more soon!
