First Weekend

This weekend was pretty representative of every day I've been here thus far. On Saturday, I came up to the school to use the internet and hang out, since ironically my empty apartment isn't the most awesome place to enjoy a day off and work is. I chatted with some teachers, went out for lunch, walked around a park with some friends, and then got invited to go out in the evening. I watched the Jomo Cup, a soccer game between the Korean League and Japanese League's All-Stars., then played some darts and came home. Sunday I took the subway towards a place where a co-teacher goes to church, and someone met me at the station and walked me to church. The service was in a typical Baptist format, with the big exception that Korean churches provide meals after the service. So I had a good lunch and met lots of people there. Then those people invited me out for desserts, which turned into an all-day outing at an Italian restaurant for dinner and then more Billi-bow and darts. The reason I say this is representative of my experience here is because people here are so open to meeting foreigners and then being hospitable to them. I have yet to plan an evening after work, because there is always someone hanging around who will go eat with you or just go hang out. All that to say that I'm having a great time here and feel quite comfortable and at home. Pictures of this mysterious Billi-bow to come soon. =)
