An excellent first impression from my new school, Suwon Buk (North) Middle School. The school is old and has some kind of funky aspects to its older construction, but it adds character.
I share an office with three other English teachers, two of which have spent some significant time living abroad in Australia and England. It's much easier to communicate at this school, and they seem to be more understanding of western culture and expectations. The school is quite a bit bigger than my old school, and actually separates classes based on English ability (I don't have to teach the lowest level students).
I'm finally all settled in my new apartment. I moved in on Friday, and it has been a pretty wild time getting everything in it's right place here. It's a bit smaller than my old place, but new and with a view. I live right across the street from the main transportation hub in Suwon (Suwon Station). Not only do I have an abundance of trains, a subway line, and buses connecting me to the entire city and surrounding cities, but also all my other needs within walking distance (grocery store, bank, post office, restaurants and coffee shops galore). These are things that were not as readily available to me before. Anyhow, back with more later.
