Pictures!

I know this is what you have all been waiting for. We finally figured out how to post some pictures. We don't have too many right now but here are the few that we do have. This is the view out of our Hotel window from the first night we were here... you can't see too much but this street has a PC Cafe and a restaurant that serves pork and Cow... or at least that is what we got from the pictures on the side of the building...

The picture below is what we woke up too! It looks scary and like a bad part of town but this is actually what most of the city looks like. It was fairly empty on saturday and sunday here, but monday it was bustling with kids walking to school, and cars honking at each other.

Below is the bathroom.... There is no shower stall, and the drain is actually on the floor between the sink and the toilet... it is usually really wet in there so the hotel provides shower shoes so you don't slip. It feels like being in college again, wearing shoes in the shower and all!

They also provided us with a cup, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner (called a rinse) and body wash, but they only gave us handtowels so we had to go to the D-Cube mall to buy some towels, Joseph got a grey blue one and I got a pink one! They also leave you hair brushes, hair gel and two energy drinks in the mini fridge, it is quite the set up!

Above is Joseph in the main room/ You can see near his feet there is a hot and cold water dispenser. Also a mug sanitizer... you stick it in a microwave thing and hit a button and it is supposed to sanitize the mugs they gave us! There is also a HUGE big screen plasma tv in the room.

You can see our towels in the bag, as well as the mirror and the rest of the dresser. The room is quite spacious, so we have not gotten on each others nerves just yet!

This is an Ad that we saw at the D Cube Mall... it made us laugh and we thought Caroline would get a kick out of it... I think they are selling some kind of Lotion or something.... All the commercials in Korea are like this too... very colorful and funny. I think these boys are in a popular pop band in Korea, I have seen them on the television too.

We saw this kitty in the pet Hospital wing of the Home Plus store. Yes... the kitty is wearing Blush. We tried to get a picture of both cheeks so you could get the full effect, but for some reason Mr. Kitty here kept hiding his head in shame.

CORN PIZZA ( just kidding, it had other veggies too!) but Joseph has his hand on the side of pickles... we didn't know what it was, we though it would be like papa Johns garlic sauce... boy were we wrong!

That is a serving of fries... Joseph and I did end up sharing it, but it was enough. The burger was really good, It kinda reminded us of a big mac but the beef tasted kinda spicy. It had something like thousand Island dressing on it but it had more of pickle taste to it... It was good though We both liked the Korean ketchup packets.


Check it out Amanda, this is a Kangaroo Mouse ... it was Bon Jovi's Korean Cousin! They are so cute and they make a really loud Purring sound. Joseph wants to get these three and name them Chrissy, Jack and Janet after Threes Company!


TWILIGHT!

And Spam gifts sets are really popular they had a whole wall of them... apparently potted meat is all the rage in Korea!

Today was another fun day full of exploring and new adventures, we got to meet Grace and the two foreign teachers we would be replacing ( Adam and jennifer) They are all really nice ( and also the other teachers at the school, they all speak english as well) We got some information on the students we would be teaching, and I am more than excited to meet them all. We don't begin teaching until October 6th ( which is the tuesday after cheusok , the Korean thanksgiving) so Joseph and I will be spending our first holiday here unpacking in our new apartment that we move into thursday!

We are very excited and there will be more pictures to come, these are just from our first two days here, but we will take many many more!
