This weekend I hope to upload a few videos to the vlog, but I signed on to help with our group video project which is due next Tuesday morning. So we'll see what happens. This weekend marks the end of week two of orientation, and the beginning of our final week at national orientation. Its going to be a very sad time when we all go our separate ways in a week and Lowell moves five blocks further into Jochiwon, Josh heads up to the most remote school on the northern border of the country (be safe Josh! Don't wander too much farther north!), Nina, and our English chaps, James and Henry depart for warmer regions of the country, and all of our coordinators go back to their real jobs. There are still many more I will miss, but fortunately, my province, Gyeongbuk has just over a hundred foreign Englsih teachers, and over fifty of those scholars are from the current group at orientation.
Where are we going? Well, school doesn't officially start here until the beginning of September, so we have a one week orientation with our Provincial Office of Education. And we're staying here:
The STX Resort is located about an hour away from the town of Mungyeong in Gyeongbuk, which unfortunately means no church on Sunday :( but there might not even be a church in Mungyeong,so I'll just have to wait for Daegu. We're going to spend a week there, having more lectures and more activities (we're going to a shooting range), and the best part is our rooms have a kitchen/living room, and we'll be living three people to one room.
But enough about POE orientation. Today we're all headed up to Seoul to see Nanta, a crazy cooking show where they through food in the air in an incredibly cool/Asian way (at least that's what I've heard), and then we're off to Namsan tower.
