Yesterday was an amazing day! I had an orientation with some other American teachers from my company and met some girls in the same kind of schools as me, even though they all live outside of Seoul. We went to pizza, a tea bar, and then to a big Oktoberfest event at the Hilton. It was sooo hilarious to be surrounded by germans as well as koreans wearing traditional german clothes. They had lots of german foods sitting right next to the dishes of kimchi. I tried out for the arm wrestling contest but I got beat by a korean lady, I swear she cheated!! Later I met some people that appeared to be Korean, but then they were so polite when they were speaking english, so I knew they couldn't be Korean :). When I asked them where they were from they said they were living in the U.S. but born and raised in Argentina! I finally got to speak spanish! They sound just like my teacher Giovanna but look Korean. They told me I sound like a Mexican! hehe...I think I'm gonna go take tango lessons at their restaurant "Buenos Aires". Things have been really hard, but I'm starting to see all of the things that I expected from this city!
New obsession: Green Tea Latte
Taco Bell in Seoul.
I was sooo close to adopting this cat!! He is leash trained and I met him on the street! I called my landlord and they said I couldn't have a cat!!!!! broke my heart.
This is the general style of the city.
