Last night I met up with about 15 other English teachers in Gunsan - and it was a long one!! A really nice group of people from South Africa, Canada and the UK. Good to have some chit chat but one thing I miss from the UK is the smoking ban. Everyone smokes indoors and it's back the stale clothes and hair smell after a night out. Yuk. I found out why people smoke in the bathroom too - it's not seen to be an appropriate thing (or something like that) to do in public. Hmmm.....
I now know the walk into town takes 45min. So, think a taxi might be the way forward at night and seeing as it only costs about 4,000 won (approx £2) and it's safer than walking, I think it's worth it!
Felt in a sorry state this morning but luckily no teaching until 1pm and a bowl and rice and kimchi sorted me out (well mostly!). Some good classes today but there is one class who both Jo and I seem to have problems with - it's been 4 days and already I dread teaching them! The rest are pretty cool though.
Jo (a girl I work with) and I then went to the gym tonight. Whoop whoop!! Back to doing some exercise!! It's a women's only gym and the facilities are brilliant (no swimming pool though). I have got to get used to strutting my stuff in the changing rooms as there is no hiding anything! Nice to have a decent shower as the one in the flat is awful. It also has a sauna and steam room. I think i'm going to like this!! Started off with an hour of yoga (there was a lot of giggling going on in here from me and Jo - my legs are about double the length of anyone elses!) and then an hour and a half doing some cardio and weights. I feel a lot more like me again already!
So that's it!! Home at 11:15pm and a morning of hospitals, immigration and paperwork to look forward to. Joy.
