Today is my day off so I explored Mokpo for a bit. I found the immigration office and picked up my ARC (Alien Registration Card), made my way to Daiso and got some more cleaning/school supplies, and then headed to E-mart for some groceries.
Between the immigration office and Daiso I passed a park where it looked like a school was having a small field trip. There was a teacher standing next to the park passing out snacks to hungry students and as I walked by I heard him yelling after me “teacher, teacher!” It took me a few seconds to remember that if he were calling one of his own teachers he would say “san sang neem” instead of “teacher”, but once I realized he was addressing me I stopped and turned around. He looked at me and said “teacher, thank you!” then handed me a bag of Korean animal crackers and waked back to his students. It’s things like this that happen every day that really make me love living here.
Now I’m about to clean and organize my apartment and then lesson plan for the rest of the week!
