Thank you, Mr. Van Straten

I am happy to say that I finally have some pics to post for you all to see! The wonderful images you are about to view are courtesy of Adam, since I still don't have a camera to take pictures with. I have so much to write about, but it took so long to post these pics and I have to get up early tomorrow so a longer blog will come tomorrow, I promise. But for now, sit back, relax, and live vicariously through the images you are about to view! I will post more pictures tomorrow too. Enjoy!





Here is the tiny potty in my classroom! Isn't it cute? Notice the shower head? All bathrooms in Korea have one, and that is how you shower. Everything is tiled and you shower without a curtain and everything gets wet. It's definitely different, but it does make cleaning the bathroom a lot easier. And no, just in case you were wondering, my kindergarteners do not take showers here at school! (And neither do I, for that matter!)
This is part of our first meal in Korea. Adam and I had no idea what to order, nor how to eat it! These are just the main appetizers that come with basically every traditional Korean meal. On the left is kimchi, the red cubes on the right are some type of radish, and I really don't know what any of the other things are yet, but they are all pretty good!



Here is a view of Seoul from the top of the Seoul Tower. Keep in mind that this is only part of the view, the city spreads out all the way around the tower. It is an amazing view!






Here is all the luggage Adam and I brought with us (and I am proud to say that I only brought two suitcases and Adam brought 4! hahaha) On the right you will see two weary travelers at 5:40 a.m. waiting for our ride to pick us up at the airport (and not trying to get scammed by any more taxi drivers!)
