New Year, New Start!

Well I've been in South Korea now for eight months just minding my business, grinding through the hours of work and making the most of my time that I have here. For those who are thinking of teaching abroad I would have to recommend it, especially in Korea for you get free accommodation, sweet money and it is not too expensive. Well just to fill in the gaps........I arrived back in London from Beijing around Easter, broke, sweaty and with grippers that hadn't been washed in well over a week. After sorting out my dags, cleaning my socks and brushing the hair I jumped back on a plane back over to Asia to start a fresh year of teaching......and here I am with four months left. So far I've eaten dog, checked out traditional villages, run up and down burial mounds known as Tumulus, checked out Loveland in Jeju Island and had some wild adventures in Seoul the capital....don't ask. With just a little time left I thought I'd start up the writing again in order to capture some daily things that I have learnt to take for granted. School children ooohing and ahhhing as you walk by and old Korean men yelling on the subway telling you to shut up when infact you are not the one speaking, but cause your white you are to blame...priceless, these are a few things I want to print on paper so as not to forget.....that and all the great things that were once amazing but now seem ordinary.
