nothing says 'welcome to korea' like...

..having to squat over an old fashioned toilet. aka a hole in the floor. it wasn't a plain ol' hole though; it was like someone took a men's urinal and inlaid it into the floor. it was weird. and the used toilet paper went into a basket next to the hole. very very odd. but hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go, right?

today went pretty well though - surprisingly well for how much information was thrown at us. and the amount of work we have to do to prep for tomorrow. i'm super excited for the curriculum, there's just a lot that i have to know. it's a bit intense. the amount of energy required for this position is crazy. but the material is fun, as long as you don't take yourself too seriously and are more concerned with teaching the kids than you are about making a fool of yourself. sometimes you look/sound silly, but if you get the point across & they learn something, it's totally worth it :)

2 down, 3 to go! tomorrow we mock teach the 'sprout' section of the curriculum, which is equivalent to US grade 2-3. should be interesting. wish me luck!
