My Time in Korea

My First Week in Korea.

My first week in Korean has been a exciting one. I was greeted at the airport by my schools director Mr. Kim, who handles everything at the school, from payroll to purchasing furniture for the apartments to immigration, its kinda ridiculous. For two day I slept in the loft of my Supervisor's apartment and purchased a dog "Ju-Ju"........(some say it means alcohol or boobs in Korean it currently up for debate). On the third day I moved in to my apartment, completed potty training of Ju-Ju, was formally introduced to one of my Kindergarden classes and view seven other classes, this was quite a day!

Overstock.com

Yesterday I speed home with excitement to pick up my luggage I ordered from overstock.com.....as you can see I don't have much of a life right now...lol. So I get the heavy box in the house and tear it open its a completely different set of luggage than I ordered, and cheap as hell. Imagine a man standing on a corner selling random luggage.......it appeared cheaper than that. Now I am not saying that I bought $1000 luggage or anything but come on. So I proceed to call Overstock, and there solution was to send the luggage back standard shipping which is 7-10days then after they delivered they would send me something better standard shipping again 7-10days. This I explained to them wasn't going to work for me their next suggestion they would refund me....... an amazing.......$20.....thanks overstock way to compensate.

The ticket has been booked!

Hooray! I am officially booked to get the HELL out of here, Yippee! Culture, tradition, and small Korean people here I come. Its funny you know, since I have decided to move to Korea every Asian person I see I wonder are they Korean and some I ask. I try to gain as much knowledge about this place I am going to call home for a while as I can. Sunday I went to to the beauty supply store (for those who don't know Korean dominates the black hair care market in America, which I think is funny and odd all at the same time but anyway...) I spent like $70 on hair crap. I talked to them about blacks in Korea and the part of Korea I was moving to...they were surprisingly impressed that I had did so much research, we spoke about the school I was going to be teaching at, they also let me know that the position I was taking on was really impressive by Korean standards. I think that is awesome that the teacher is looked at as a position of power and influence in Korea....we need to adopt that same attitude here.

Preparing for Korea

I have exactly 25 days before I am out of the US. Things are slowly coming together, but this is just the begining of it. On the 30th I will be flying to California( my wonderful home town) to be in and celebrate the marriage of my best friend Tiffany. I will be home for 6 day and will return to Atlanta 3 days before my departure to Korea. I really wish I could leave now to go to Korea but I think Tiff would be upset if I was in attendance. Friends, coworkers and family insist that the Korean people are just going to love, and I hope so since I will be taller than all of them. I figure thaey will love me or look at me like some kinda of freak but either way I think that will be kinda fun.
