Yo yo yo
So yesterday I left orientation and got on a bus to go to a hotel in Incheon, where I am now living. Took a little over an hour to get there and then i met my main co teacher. A co teacher will be the Korean teacher who teaches the glass grammar, reading and writing. I am considered the English conversation teacher. My main job will be speaking with the students when they come to my class.
Anyway, I met my main co teacher, her Western name is Lucy and she was amazed by how tall i am. From there she had another one of my co teachers, Diana, come to pick us up and went directly to the school to meet my vice principal because the principal was gone. They then showed me my office which I will share with other English teachers, however none of them will be my co teachers. I will have 7 co teachers, 3-4 is average but someone at orientation had 22, yikes.
We then left and they took me to my apartment. It is about a 15 min car ride and a 20-25 min bus ride. I will mainly take the bus each day. We arrived at my apartment and Lucy and Diana helped me settle in a bit. We then went back downstairs and Lucy showed me my area a little bit, bus stop, department store, food places, etc.
We then went out to eat at an Italian place just across the street from my Apartment. They were very curious to know if it tasted like actual Italian food. I got something that looked like pasta with meat sauce and it tasted very good and like back home.
I then left with Lucy to go to the department store, Lotte Mart. Its about 2 blocks from my house and i bought some stuff like toilet paper, drinking water, they dont drink from the faucet, and some other stuff.
We headed back and I left Lucy to go to my apartment. Its on the 12th/top floor, penthouse what!!! Its bigger than what i was expecting, not exactly sure how to describe it. Hopefully I can put up some pics soon to show. Started unpacking but it was already 9 and i had to go to school, the next day/today/Friday.
I am currently at school. I will start teaching in 2 weeks. Today and next week I can just observe other teachers teach and begin to decide what I will do for my first week of class. Each week I will have to come up with 2 different lesson plans. One for each level I will teach. Hope to go out tonite and meet some new peeps.
One love
