Arriving at SEEC





So I arrived at SEEC where I'll be teaching. It is amazing. My next door neighbors are farmers, but the facility itself is wonderful. The room was and still is amazing. I wake up to a wonderful view of the mountains. I have all the things that I could need in a room. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to work here. The people are all so nice and caring. Thank God for this gift

So that's my room; it's really nice. We were given a care package by the other teachers here. They are so sweet. Khia took us to a grocery store so we could buy some basic supplies, the next day (today) we headed to a larger city to buy some bigger room supplies. I made quite the impressive list for the larger shopping expedition. I didn't quite collect everything, but I made some progress. I certainly had trouble finding vanilla, baking powder and baking soda. Everything else was pretty easy to locate. The next time I go shopping I'll look for some measuring items, like cups, teaspoons, and table spoons. We went to a mall that had some beautiful rest areas. On the way I saw some hotels and wondered if they would be good for company to stay in if they visited. I was told no, those are love motels they charge by the hour. lol. Oh so places here called PC Bangs (long 'a' as in father) are really popular. They have a computer with all sorts of video games on them really comfortable chairs and you can play for however long you want. I think its like 1200 won an hour which right now is less than a $1 an hour pretty cheap. I bought a big pillow, its nice to be able to snuggle with something large. I still need to buy a trash can and bags, but am making due with all the bags I have from shopping :) This place is pretty cool and I'm looking forward to orientation tomorrow at 10 am.
