training.

I do not have many photos this time. I did not have time to go out and shoot stuff because I was busy concentrating on the week long intensive training. Thankfully, I successfully passed. Below are some pictures of the friends I had made who also underwent the intensive training. I went straight to the school I will be teaching at soon after training. I'll be starting work on Monday, but had the chance to see some of the kids. They seem like fun, we'll see how it goes. :)

from top: My group for second session (my harder one) after training was complete; Sylvia, we had a single conversation in three languages, English, Spanish and Portuguese. She also knows Korean; Katie texting, she helped me alot; Black guy from Canada or something; London dude; One of my better friends, Brent. We were suite-mates, really cool and out going guy; Lastly, a pretty nurse I met during the first day of training. We only had a small conversation. She didnt really know much English.

Day 1- My good friend Rogelio Llamas, currently teaching for Chungdahm, picked me up from the airport and showed me around Gwangmyeong. My first meal in Korea was takoyaki (fried octopus) YUM!

63 Building

Second day me Rogelio and two people I had just met, Daniesha and Elisabeth, went to 63 Building, a touristic building that has the worlds highest art gallery, as well as an aquarium with amazing fish and sea life. Afterwards we had some cold noodles and some vegetable and pork mando.

In Shanghai, China, I met up with a CS member named Faye Li. She showed me a small part of the city and bought me a traditional fried noodle soup. I found it interesting that they serve you the stuff for the soup separate from the soup itself. It was quite delicious. Seeing the city was amazing. The modern and tall buildings were an amazing sight.
