First Full Day- June 23 part 1

My apartment doesn't have any U.S. outlets (some of the other teachers have them) and I didn't bring any adapters.  Duh, kinda important! Because my phone only had half a battery and I wasn't able to plug in my alarm clock I was nervous to oversleep.  So after going to bed just before 1 am, I woke up at 5:30.  I'm guessing it was the jet lag because I was wide awake and felt great!

I had plenty of time before school so I unpacked some more things.  I took a nice hot shower with plenty of water pressure!  Other than the stuff that Matt bought for me, there were a few things left by someone.  I'm not sure if it was the school or a previous tenant but there was a large bottle of water, large bottle of tomato juice, hot and spicy Pringles, grape tomatoes, and a bunch of bananas.  For breakfast I ate a banana and a pb&j sandwich.

After I finished getting ready, I met Matt outside at 8:45.  We walked to the school together and he explained some of the neighborhood.  Right next to our apartments is a little clump of stores.  Within this are two "corner stores," a dry cleaner, a fried chicken place make that two fried chicken places (apparently very popular here,) a drug store, and some other little shops (two hair salons).

Ok, so I'm writing this from a PC Bang (internet cafe) and there are a bunch of Korean men playing online video games and chain smoking like crazy!  I want to post a little for ya'll to read but I'm going to have to finish this later because the smoke is driving me batty.  Later gators!
