Day 2 in Suwon was pretty busy. I had a meeting with the other teachers and school director, Joseph Kim, for about an hour and a half. Then an American family took my fellow teacher and I to the local "Walmart." We grabbed some basic food necessities, and then enjoyed a great lunch in the Korea food court. I had bulgogi -- meet mixed with rice and wrapped in lettuce -- and kimchi. We came back to the apartment after lunch and i fell asleep on the couch. With a combination of jet lag and that amazing lunch, can ya blame me? We were then picked up about 2:30 and taken to a Korean cultural village. I really enjoyed walking around and seeing lots of old houses as well as some great dancing and a very old tightrope walker.
The day ended with a great supper -- bibimbop. This is one of my new favorite Korean dishes. It's is vegetables mixed with rice and chili sauce. Sometimes there is an egg added, but the veggies and rice are so hot (temperature) the egg cooks right away. All in all, I would say that the first couple days here have been great. Tomorrow is church and then a free afternoon, and Monday we will begin teaching. Please pray that the teaching goes well -- SAT prep is not something I have done before, but I think it will be fun.
I will load more pics onto facebook and my picasa site (https://picasaweb.google.com/philbrande)
Until next time...Peace, love & kimbap...
