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!
Following me through the adventure of life. Looking through thoughts and experiences. Down the rabbit hole of my mind. Beware... by reading this you may get to know more about Eric that you ever wanted to.
