Back in Korea

Yes ladles and jelly spoons I am back in Korea.

The story so far is that I am back for another year but have changed programs from TaLK to JLP. JLP is the English program run by the Jeollanam Provincial Office of Education. To make things more interesting I’m not actually hired by the Provincial Office of Education but by the local school or Local Office of Education. It doesn’t make much difference, but we shall see..

So..
I’m in a place called Gurye (look it up in google maps) at a hot-spa less hot-spa on quarantine till Friday. Just in case the filthy foreigners have swine flu..

 

Then, on Friday, orientation starts and goes until Monday morning. On Monday morning I get to meet my co-teacher (or someone from the school/Local Office of Education.

I’ve seen Hyejeong for a few hours on the day I got back but otherwise I’m suffering worse withdrawl than when I was in NZ..the whole so close yet so far thing.
