#34 GEPIK orientatiOn day 1

our opening act.. they were called luna or something.. a bunch of girls prancing around on stage.. im sure the guys loved it haha

Simon, Moises, Me, Martina

This week i have orientation so i dont have to teach.. on monday i had to go to school even though i had no classes... i didnt really do anything, just sat and did lessons for the following week.

Tuesday i got up early to finish packing and headed off to Uijeongbu, i waited and met other foreigners in my area.. it was good to finally be able to speak english fluently and not act like a clown or speak so slowly that it doesnt even make sense. The bus trip there took abt 2 hours.. moises sat next to me.. he was filo and from san francisco.. we had a good chat abt life and teaching.. hahaha

we got there at 11 am.. met up with our roomates and checked into our rooms... going to this is like the same as college (in america) u sleep in dorms... have roomates... parties/drunkeness at night time.. eat lunch in the cafeteria ... and lectures in the morning. My roomate was flavia.. she edlives near me so it was good.. we were all grouped into where we live so everyone in my group A1 lives near me.

tuesday was spent just listening and learning abt gepik and also making new friends.. it was nothing interesting... tuesday night was however spent drunk.. cos it was the first night there everyone went hardd.. we drank so much we cleared out all the beers in the shop before 11am... i went to bed like at 12 on tues cos there was really nothing left to do .. plus breakfast started at 730 the next morning so i crashed early.

also.. i met simon and martina!!!!!! i was so excited i even screamed... for those of you that dont know simon and martina are like internet celebrities. they're just normal foreign teachers like me who also live in seoul.. they have a blog - eatyourkimchi.com, this blog basically tells u almost everything u wanna know abt korea.. transport.. food.. karaoke.. students.. gym.. kpop.. weird things abt korea. most ppl know abt them when doing research before moving here.. they're so awesome.. it was a very exciting first night!

안녕
