Keep your head down...

So I've not been too great with the blog updates, mainly because the site is now in Korean so it's pretty much a trial and error process. 

I'm loving Korea so far. I've learned alot about myself, about life, etc in the past few weeks. But  won't get into that now. The main thing is, I've settled here and I know it's mostly due to the epic crowd of people I've fallen in with. My co-teachers are an amazing bunch and the friends I've made around Pyeongtaek are just as fantastic. I think this year is going to be one to remember, that's for sure! And not to sound like a sap, but I can't believe how lucky I've been with my school, and most importantly, my kids. What a cute, witty and smart bunch. The whole package is perfect for me, it's such a satisfying way of life. I'm still shocked on a daily basis by the low cost of living, it's great to know I can do, buy and go wherever I want, when I want. 

The week before last ended with a cool night out with the girls to see 'Breaking Dawn' at the cinema - AMAZING! Followed by a chilled weekend getting settled in the flat and hanging out with Geordie Jess shopping and bantering on the Sunday. Then, through the week; it was trivia night on Tuesday and... we won! Couldn't believe it. It means we're hosting tomorrow night, should be a laugh! On Wednesday, my co-teachers and I took a trip to Songtan to watch one of our own, the fellow Scot, take on the Osan crowd (aka, American crowd) for comedy night. He blew them away, it was hilarious! This weekend was full of ups and downs, but thanks to good friends, and skyping with family, I got through it, and now it's time to get myself properly settled here in amazing South Korea. 

Also, I like taking pictures of food more than anything else, so you've been warned...

Friday night dinner before the movies... I could live on galbi :)


 Coffee and cake with Jess got Christmassy!

Tonight, it's time for a quiet night in preparing some trivia for tomorrow nights' quiz, then tomorrow... let the fun begin!
