Pffft

I am writing this in the luxury of a hotel room. Why? Because the school haven't sorted out the housing situation yet. Bugger. So who knows how long we will be here. Hopefully not long. But its warm, clean, close to the school and has a TV and Internet so its not all bad. Apart from the fact we will need to spend some of our dimes of eating out every night.

Anyway, today was very busy. And I am tired. So tired.

It all started at about 0900 when we woke up and went down to get some breakfast. After that we loaded up the luggage and decided to head down. And so did everyone else! We waited for a good half hour as the lifts went up and down, up and down, up and down and finally there was a space that I could squeeze into. And then we hiked down to the car park for the buses. After trying to arrange seating on one of the buses we finally went and found the right one to find out that all the space for luggage is full. Well duh. I mean, trying to squeeze everyone's luggage into one bus just will not work. So after waiting around for a while, a truck pulls up and we load our luggage onto this. Let's hope the driver knows the way.

The journey down was alright. I hate buses at the best of times so this was a bit uncool. But after a couple of hours (I watched a movie on my iPhone) we stopped for lunch. Some really crap Bibimbap whilst sitting cross legged was not a good lunch. I just don't think I'm built to sit cross legged. Then we loaded onto the bus again and headed for Busan. The road into Busan is crazy. It's all downhill. It's like going into hell. And the fact that we passed a pretty nasty car crash didn't ease my worries.

We arrive at some school somewhere in Busan. It could be in Timbuktu for all I know. I meet my co-teacher who seems nice enough and has a good grasp on the English language. And then we wait. For like an hour or so, on the jackass driver of the truck with our luggage. Then there is the problem of fitting all the luggage into what can only be described as a toy car. So the cavalry is called in and we are shuttled to the hotel. Get booked in, and then taken to dinner. I was not relishing the thought of another piss poor meal. But luckily we went to Outback and I got the mother of all steaks. And a baked potato and chips. Ya dancer.

So now tomorrow I have to go to the school to meet the principal. On my day off! Seriously!
