Hello all! I have successfully made it to Korea and started orientation. I feel like I have already been here for weeks (jetlag + constant activities will do that to you). So far I have met some really awesome people, but I haven't gotten a chance to really know people "in depth" yet. I keep having the same conversations with people but I am working hard to get names and cut down on the superficial details (where are you from? where did you go to school?) Anyways, the college we are at is sooooo weird. They call it the marble palace but its...I will include pictures soon I promise. My favorite rumor about the place so far is that is was built so specifically to film a movie about North Korea. Lolz. All I can say is.... there's a fake dinosaur. Yesterday we went on a site visit to a co-ed urban highschool. It was pretty much what I expected. The fulbrighter we got to meet was very interesting. She has been here two years and is renewing for a third. However, while she currently teaches high school, because of some to the changes to education policy in Korea if she wants to stay in the city she works next year she has to teach elementary... so she's moving to teach elementary. Today I am going to an all boys high-school. So we'll see how that goes. Pictures soon!
