Our Grand Adventure: Apartment tour!

Not much to update on. We have been trying all sorts of food for dinner; Vietnamese Pho, pizza, traditional Korean food, Mexican, and American food! Feeding ourselves is the most challenging part of living here so far. We normally just eat cereal for breakfast and make PB&J's for lunch and eat dinner out. Cooking at home isn't very easy for us since we don't have any cooking stuff with the exception of one pot that we normally cook noodles in.

Besides food (my favorite topic), teaching is going great! We've been operating under the assumption that we had the entire month of February off, per our co-teacher's direction. Unfortunately, we found out that we are actually teaching two more classes. In total, we will be teaching three classes a day for two weeks. After two weeks, we go back to teaching one class a day for two more weeks. The beginning of March is the start of a new school year where we will begin teaching normal hours. Our day will consist of teaching 4-6 classes a day.

In the morning we teach kids from all over the Hoengseung area (Mon-Thur) and adults on Friday. In the afternoon we teach the Seongnam Elementary kids and then an after school program of kids from Hoengseung. It has been very confusing for us to figure this all out, but I think we finally understand the scope of our position! I get to teach 2nd grade students and "intermediate" students along with my Hufflepuff and Reading Club kids. Jacob has 1st graders and "advanced" students along with his Gryffindor and Writing Club kids. However, we get all new students in March, so we will have more updates in a month or so!

Now for the exciting part, below is a video of our apartment! We don't plan on spending money to decorate, we think the wallpaper is plenty of decoration. Our bed is absolutely horrible. We bought a mattress pad to try and ease our pains, but it just doesn't get the job done. The shower in the bathroom is really not as bad as it might seem. Since we are gone most of the time, we shower in the morning and it's dry by the time we get back home. The worst part is that the shower is connected to the faucet so you have turn a dial to switch the water source back and forth between the shower and the faucet. Luckily, we haven't turned the water on to wash our hands and got a shower instead!
