Lectures

Two days have passed now, and we have had lectures, lectures, lectures. About all sorts of stuff, and from so many people. Some were interesting, most were dry and boring. There was one lecture from this guy who looked like Jack Black about how his adventures for the past year have gone. He seemed to dive into everything and do everything headfirst. Good for him. He seems to have enjoyed himself. Then there were the lectures on how to teach. I guess these are supposed to be informative but most were pretty dull.

The food has been pretty uneventful. Except for tonight when I went into the local town, Cheonan, and went to a pizza joint called Mr. Pizza. Hell yeah! Pizza. It says that he has 'love for women'. The place looks more like a dating venue for kids though. The town is actually quite crazy. Its just one strip about 3 blocks long but it is cliche Asia, with all the flashing lights and tall buildings and crazy side streets. Our first real taste of Korean night life I guess.

Decided on a taxi back to the dorms as it's a beast of a walk and didn't want to wait for the bus. And we managed all this in Korean! I have been learning the basics of the Korean language, so I can read what all the characters are, just not what the words mean. Although I do know some words. Its not too hard.

Tomorrow is more lectures and how to make a lesson plan, which is for thursday when we present a lesson. Oh joy.
