Shopping is for losers

Today was shopping day.

But before we get to that, I had my first classes today. I was just observing which got really boring after four classes of the same thing! And I had to give a quick introduction to myself which went OK. I told the kids where I was from and what I like to do, and showed them pictures of me climbing in the snow. Which they all laughed at. The co-teacher is pretty nice and seems to handle the class well, so it should go well.

Then after lunch we went shopping for stuff for the apartment. I had to make a list of all the stuff I needed and then they would try and cost it up into the budget they have to spend. So off to Home Plus. Ahh, yes, Home Plus. This is the Korean Tesco which sells some half-decent Western food, so hopefully I won't starve. But they also have a lot of home ware stuff. So after mooching around the store filling up a trolley with everything we made our way to the checkout, and were actually under the budget. Hurray. Even got some stuff didn't really need but is nice to have. On the electronics front, they got a TV and toaster oven. Then the usual cutlery and utensils, drying rack, brush, duvet and pillows which is all nice. Another teacher from my school has sorted the furniture to some degree. So a bed, closet, table and chairs and a TV stand. So all this should be delivered by the end of the week and then move in!
