#17 firSt day in yangju..

welcome to yangju!
the many restaurants and shops underneath my apartment

a street full of FOOD!

the middle school opposite my place (not my school) with apartments behind it .. and many many more after that!

apartments after apartments after apartments...

today was my first day in my town.. i live in the city of yangju.. its about half an hour away by train to seoul.. i woke up quite early this morning because my curtains are white and it woke me up at 530.. i ended up waking up anyways and got ready.. from 8-10 i just walked around a explored my town.. this place has like everything! anything u can possibly imagine.. pizza hut, dominoes, bbq chicken, dunkin donuts, lotteria, pet shops, banks, florists, markets, clothes, fruits.. anything you need!

the biggest shock here was the living style of koreans.. there are apartments.. EVERYWHERE literally there are like 100 or more apartments in sight from where i am.. the streets are also very clean and the ppl are very nice.

after exploring i went home to wait fo eunice my co teacher, she took my to uijeongbu which is a city nearby for me to get my health check .. the doctors here are are so young! most of them were like may age and they were doctors already.. wth ?

anyways so after that we went for lunch and then headed to school, school is nice and big, the students are on exams atm so i didnt meet them yet, today i just met the teachers and principle and vice principle. i wont be teaching this week or next week because they want me to get use to it beore i start conducting classes.. they also gave me a laptop! it helps cos now i don't need to bring my mac with me to school.

after that i headed to lotte mart to buy a travel adapter and sheets and blankets for my house.. i had to carry it all the way home and it was so heavy! i ended up organising my place today so it feels more like a home..

hopefully i'll be changing apartments soon, my place is on the ground floor and i dont feel very safe because when ppl walk past they alwasys look into my place and can see everything inside.. i hope i get something big and new!

안녕~
