The first two weeks here flew by and I am getting adjusted to life here in South Korea :) I am teaching at OeDae in Paju City . The school is about a 30 minute bus ride away from Illsan, the city that I call home! My place leaves a lot to be desired, but the city offers so many things to see and do that I really haven't spent much time there. Here are some pictures so you can get an idea of the accommodations (my school director bought me the Hello Kitty pink bedspread as a welcome present)!
The apartment itself is conveniently situated right next to the subway stop and a short walk from the bus stop. There is also an awesome Lake Park that is right down the street. It is a huge man-made lake that has a singing fountain and a ton of other fun things to see around it. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet, so that will have to be another posting, another day :)
For now, check out these pictures from my building. They were taken from the hall where I catch the elevator (my apartment window looks out onto another building = not very exciting).
If you look close, you can see the Starbucks across the street that I frequently visit (bottom pic). Makes me feel right at home!
My name is Elizabeth and I'm moving to Ilsan November 15th and teaching at OeDae in Paju City. We'll be co-workers! I'm staying with Linda for a few days when I first get there. Did you do the same? Awkward! Email me if you get a chance: elizabethbeach@email.com. BTW, I don't know what the rules are, but I'm painting my officetel.
