Seoul Adventure

My first week in Korea has been absolutely amazing. Almost all 224 scholars in the TaLK program are friendly, outgoing, and a whole lot of fun. Everyone is willing to participate and have a good time in lectures, which makes them infinitely more interesting than any class I’ve ever been in.

I’ve been keeping in touch with a fellow English teacher at my school and she told me that I’ll be living within walking distance in a 2 bedroom apartment which is unheard of in Korea. She also told me that the principle wants a TaLK scholar for a whole year so if I decide I want to extend my contract I will be able to stay at the same school, which is reassuring.

Also, I went to Seoul this weekend with a group of about 20 scholars and had an amazing time! We went to Itaewon for fries at an American diner (so good) and then dinner at a traditional Korean barbeque place that was delicious!! After that we went to Hongdae to some Korean clubs and hung out with some Korean University students who wanted to practice their English.

Today’s going to be a short update because I’m exhausted and need to get some sleep in all of this but I’ll try to post again soon!
