YOYO

So I’ve decided that I would update you all on my Korean adventures over the past month and a half. A majority of my friends are in Seoul this weekend but I decided to kick it in Busan to some money. Smart move on my half because just recently I’ve heard that my school is going through some legal issues so I’m on the edge of my seat to wither or not I’ll be paid on time in November.

ANYWAYS…I arrived in Busan September 4th around 10pm after flying for a trillion hours. My recruiter picked me up at the airport then quickly took me to my school in Hwamyeong (the sub-division of Busan where I live and work). I met the head teacher and she informed me to be at work the next day for noon. After that they took me to my apartment and gave me the low down. There are 15 floors in my building and it is like uni res because there are so many foreigners who live in it! It’s awesome. I slept like shit and really had no idea what I was doing in Korea. WHY KOREA?! Essentially it seemed like the best option for me at this time in my life. Free flight, no rent, good hours, cash-money, and being in a different country. My first day of work was overwhelming and super jet lagged. I sat in on a couple classes and then I had to teach two! It literally felt like I was a piece of raw meat thrown into a cage of dogs. The next day I was able to take in some hiking with some people I met. Busan is a great city for everything! Hiking, beaches, nightlife, events, shopping, and if you’re into crowds, there are plenty of those here. That night we headed down to a club called Foxys. I was hilarious! Minus the part when I had to buy new shoes because they didn’t allow people with flip-flops on. Only if I had heals on those bad boys I’d be set! Foxys had two floors, lots of rap (heard the song “California Love” at least 5 times), sweaty people, and choreographed dancing. We stayed there till around 5am…The bars don’t really close. These Koreans love their booze. I’ve seen many of people passed out on the streets, subways, being carried home, and puking their guts out.
