I Made it!

Well I've just experienced my first day in Suwon, South Korea, To sum it up in a word - Freezing! it snowed today! From bikini one day to beanie the next! So cold but I have a heated floor to which I owe much!


Defrosting on the Heated floor!

Things are quite different over here, funny how you come with certain expectations or thoughts as to how you think a place might be like, and then these expectations and thoughts are totally different! (it's late and I'm lacking sleep, apologies for poor grammer, spelling, punctuation etc, hope this makes some sort of sense and not to nonsensical)

I caught up with Andrew, my friend from Newcastle today who has been working here since mid last year. Was cool to be able to catch up as I haven't seen him for well over a year! We got a very ordinary coffee from DunkinDonuts (doh promised I wouldn't go near any donut shops! Sorry! Actually I will be sorry once I have to pay for a gym membership so I still fit my clothes!) did some shopping for stuff for my apartment and we visited my School today for a brief orientation. Seems great, heaps of resources, very organised and the people are lovely! Looking forward to starting on Monday, heaps of stuff to learn along the way it appears!

Andrew and I are going to see some nearby places tomorrow, should be fun! Transport is interesting around here, still have no idea how to get anywhere! There are also some issues with my Korean language abilites - Lonley Planet phrasebooks have an interesting interpretation of the language.... hmmm, well either that or I do.


Andrew and Ellen out and about!


Flashy lights!
