So many firsts today in SK!
*I had my first (real) Korean dish. I think it was pork, which I rarely ate in the states!
*Said thank you to a Korean and received a smile in return. (Both times they knew I was trying and I gave them a thumbs up)
*Learned so much Korean my head is still spinning!
*Washed my first load of clothes in a Korean washer. (Dryers are very rare here, but....me being me, I did find one with the help of a sista on my floor!)
We received a full....literally......medical exam, with blood tests, weight, height, body fat, waist size (what they need that for I have no clue!), x-ray, hearing, and general health questions. I thought I was going to pass out because we couldn't eat after 9 p.m. last night AND I had just got in from a nice rigorous walk in the park. I was fine though so no worries!
As I meet new people throughout my time here, I can't help but to think about how THANKFUL I am. I am thankful that God has provided me with a sense of direction, thankful that HE has shown me my purpose in this life, thankful that I am in my career and know what I want to do. It's a wonderful feeling to know that I have grace and mercy.
Enjoy the various pictures.......
- a picture from my morning walk with my roommate from Idaho (glad I am with someone who likes to workout as much as I do! CJM this park is wayyyyy harder than the hill we used to do back in KCMO!)
- a piece of exercise equipment that is outside in the park (no need to get a gym membership here! they have something for every body part!)
- having lunch with some friends that will also be teaching in Gangwon-do
- a Korean washer and dryer (thankfully, the instructions were written on the side in English...I just had to match up the symbols/letters)
Awesome Sarah! I'm glad you are having a good time. It sounds interesting. So what did you think about the food? What does the air smell like? Now hurry and find clothes and designer bags so I can get the scoop lol.
ReplyDeleteLove Ya
Dee you are so silly! The food isn't too bad, but I do miss my tuna and salmon! Too much pork for me. Rice is one of their staple foods, so it is served with every meal. Um, the air isn't too bad I guess. It only smells if you are by a sewer or a lot of trash.
