can you say out of my element?

Well we got to Jeon Ju at 2am last night after a horrendous couple days of traveling with very little sleep. Thank god our bags made it. We are 14 hours ahead so I couldn't sleep for shit last night and I was up at 630 am unpacking all our stuff. The apartment is really not too bad, we have a big bed, a washing machine, and a balcony. Of course this is Korea so take what your imagining and shrink it in half, but still not too bad. Our director came and picked us up this morning and took us to breakfast for our first meal in Korea which was.....at Mcdonalds, lol. But she is an extremely nice lady and her and her brother have been so accomodating to us. They took us to the school after that and showed us around. The school is on the 8th story of a skyscraper and is pretty small but nice, where rich kids go to learn english. Also in the building is a bowling alley, a gym (free for teachers), and a sauna ($4 a pop!). It's also a 5 minute walk from our apartment. After seeing the school we were taken to the E-Mart (think walmart) where she bought us groceries. After that we went to eat Korean barbecue which was fucking badass, oh my god. A grill in the middle of the table where beef, shrimp, mushrooms, rice cakes, corn and potatoes were bbqued and were surrounded by plate after plate of different kinds of kimchi, spiced lettuces or salads, different dipping sauces and miso soup. Wow, after being dropped off back at the apartment we had to lay down for about an hour. After that we pretty much wandered aimlessly around Jeonju for a couple hours just taking in the outdoor markets and very strange surroundings. I was completely exhausted when I got back. It is really hot and humid here. I have photos to post but our internet is not set up yet, im at a "PC bhang" right now, aka internet cafe, so i'll post photos as soon as I can. Anyways, I'm exhausted so I'm gonna go to the corner store and pick me up a "Cass" beer and crash.
