Still in Transit

Katrina, here, from Deajeon! Since Justin and I are temporarily separated, I thought I should post my own update on how things are going down south.

First off, why are we in different cities? Well, when we got off the plane we were met by some fabulous people (Jesse-Justin's cousin, and Kim-Jesse's girlfriend) and some details about our time in Korea. One of which was that instead of three days of training in Deajeon, I would be spending a week and a half training/covering classes. Naturally, we were surprised, but happy to help out some of the teachers that have been doing so much to make our transition a smooth one.

So here I am in Seattle's sister city across the world. The only big differences from Seoul are that fewer people speak English and the western-style food options are far less bountiful. Most of my time is spent in the classroom, which feels surprisingly good. In the past I looked forward to getting back onto the teaching horse with a fair amount of trepidation, but my first couple of days have gone delightfully uneventfully.

Mostly, I'd just like the week to be over so I can arrive at my final destination (Seoul) and start the long process of settling in. Three more days and counting...
