Jochiwon Days, and Nights...

Since arriving in Korea, I really haven't been able to update my blog/vlog as much as I'd like. The main reason for this is that I'm outside all day, and some of the night, taking video and experiencing everything that goes along with teacher orientation. There are almost three-hundred of us in orientation, if not more, so there are always new people to meet and get to know better. 

In other news, the weather has finally cooled off! For the last couple of days it rained pretty hard, even causing some landslides in other parts of the country. Today, however, was sunny, warm (but not humid) with a wonderful breeze, which makes it hard to stay indoors all day in lectures, but the lectures are all wonderful as well. Today we had a lecture on classroom magic, where we learned five or six different magic tricks, like how to make a card disappear and other interesting activities. 

But where am I? Seriously, if someone could tell me I would appreciate it. According to this map, Jochiwon is the red circle, but it looks outdated because Daegu is spelled with a T. Our college campus is on the edge of Jochiwon (the town), but occasionally we'll wander in to find food, karaoke, bowling, drinking, and American food.  

Because the weather is so beautiful, Kesley, Florina (better known as Flo-flo), two of my Eastern Michigan University friends, and I are going to take a walk up the trail behind campus, which is supposed to lead us to a lake. Today has been the first day where you could walk outside and you didn't immediately feel wet from the humidity. We can't wait for the fall.
