I'm officially Curl-Ean! :)

Haha, Funny, right?!! :) Thought you all might have missed my jokes!

Been here a little over two weeks now, and I finally got my "green card," moved into my apartment, John took me to get a cell phone (thanks John), AND I got a bank account yesterday! whoo-hoo, I'm moving up in the world people, watch out! I'm not struggling to get around as much either...I've learned how to say the basics (or at least I think I do!), haven't taken any taxis to any place I don't want to go, I've ventured places on the subway, haven't managed to transfer but haven't had to either. Still haven't done anything that doesn't involve drinking, but lets be real here, it's not like I did do that back in the states. :) Though, the bars did close at 2am making it easy to know when to go home....here I seem to make it out just in time for the sun to rise...awesome. FYI, if you want an awesome skype call in the Afternoon your time, 7am my time, keep your skype on! I'm still doing horrible with taking pictures but here's a few to give you a little piece of my life!

My Kitchen

My living quarters

Your bed for when you come visit!!

The Bathroom

They don't use shower curtains just a head shower, and notice no bath tub, it's kinda like an all-in-one bathroom.. Not so bad except once you take a shower the floor and toilet seat are all wet.

My place is nice. It's the largest one out of all the teachers who teach at my school and they say it's the newest (yay, me!). The apartments usually only come furnished with a twin bed, dresser, table, tv, phone and gas range, wash machine and a fridge but the teacher before me left a bunch of stuff so I didn't have to go out and buy it. She left me the basic house hold items plus a futon, chair, lamp, exercise ball and weights, and a bunch of other random crap AND instead of a twin bed I have a full!! It's not the most comfortable thing but I'll take it! SO...there is lots of room for who ever wants to come to Korea!! :)

Here are some other random pictures for the last few weekends...

I have arrived...

My hotel room that I had to stay at unbeknownst to me for a week before I got to move into my apartment.  Super small, lots bigger in the picture then it really was. Id probably say it was a 7x7' room.

Nice view though

Of course I meet up with John. First ride on the scooter, holy hell....I'm not in America anymore!

A little late night street food action, a moroccan sandwich...delicious!

Welcome/ goodbye dinner with my school. We ate Shabu shabu, it's a mulitiple course dinner but basically its like how you do fondu but in a broth and you cook all your veggies, and meat in it, then after it the server puts in noodles, then after the noddles, the server makes like a rice porridge. I liked it! 

Went to a mall to check some electronics with John and a friend, needed to kill some time so did a little shooting at the shooting range next to the food court...no big deal. 

Gangnam

You can drink anywhere....

Met some Korean friends...John and I beat them at shuffle board earlier!

Went out in my neighborhood with some girls from work, found a hof (a sports bar) this one happened to be a baseball one. Koreans love their baseball...who knew...
