We're in our new apartment and it's awesome! We had been told that Korean apartments can be very tiny so we weren't expecting much, but our apartment is probably even bigger than the one we had back in Peterborough. We even have a walk-in closet! We'll post some pictures once we move in a little more- stuff is still everywhere!
We've been having some adventures just trying to accomplish little errands such as buying laundry detergent. We went to the grocery store yesterday and took forever trying to figure out the difference between laundry soap and fabric softener. Blake still isn't convinced we bought the right one.
Although we have a very high-tech washing machine in our walk-in closet, we're still trying to figure out what the buttons do. I feel like Chris Salmans right now because I want everything to have pictures! The deciding factor as to what restaurant we go to is whether or not they have pictures of the food so we can point to it. We've actually enjoyed all the Korean food so far and we're starting to get the hang of chop sticks- Blake still gets laughed at by the Korean people when he tries!
We're getting used to people staring at us and random kids will run up to us and yell any English words or phrases that they know. Yesterday when we walked down the street a few kids yelled, "I love you!" Then we went to a department store and a little boy came up to me and said, 'hello.' I said responded with, 'hi, how are you?' and he said, 'bad.....i mean good' and then ran away. I think they think they're pretty smart when they try out their English on us. It's really funny.
We finally figured out our internet so we'll be able to update more frequently. I'll post about our teaching experiences in another post because this one is already getting long!
