A short video from Korea

Hi Everyone,

I have finally moved into my apartment just last week. Today I finished my 2nd day of teaching classes and I love it already! The kids are cute, eager to learn, and incredibly bright! They all seem to like me, but one class of three 16 year old girls took one look at my nose ring and thought I was a bit scary! (can you believe it?) She looked up the Korean word for Hoodlum and pointed it out to my co-worker, telling him that's how they perceieved me. I found it hilarious! I knew that Koreans don't like piercings or tattoos, but this was the first time I have probably ever been called a "hoodlum" in my life!!! Ha.

I love it here! Seoul is such a great city, it's fast paced, has everything to offer, and the food is beyond wonderful. I have already become friends with the other foreign teachers here (4 Canadians, and 3 Americans). They have been incredibly friendly and helpful. My apartment is great as well, I love living alone for once! The only thing missing is my gray cat Malcom. But he doesn't speak Korean well so he'd probably just be confused anyway if he were here.

It is midnight here on Tuesday, and I am a bit tired. I will write a longer and more detailed blog in the next few days. I am having 3 friends of mine come stay with me this weekend, so I will probably have plenty of good pictures to share with everyone!

I hope you enjoy the video,

Lindsey
