What have I been doing in Korea other than teaching?!

Watching lots of K-pop and eating tons of delicious food!

Dinner last night with Megan. Grilled meat with lots of sides!

Just kidding. Sort of. I have been going out to eat and have been able to try many different Korean meals. Throughout our week of orientation we were provided with a buffet which always included rice, kimchi and at least two traditional style meals (i.e. spicy). When we had a field trip to the Jeonju Hanok Village (traditional Korean houses), we were treated to a lunch of Bibimpap. My area of Korea is well known for its food. Specifically, its known for the large amount of side dishes that are provided with meals.

Our Bibimpap. The actual meal is in the gold bowl. All the other bowls are side dishes

While I've already fallen into a pretty relaxed routine during the week (work, eat, sleep), two weekends ago I went and saw a baseball game. I saw the Kia Tigers (Go Tigers!) and learned to cheer for baseball teams in Korean. They sing the same chants for every player but replace the name. It was really interesting to watch (and join in with). I went with my friend Megan, her co-teacher and a relative of the co-teacher. They were really nice- they taught us all the chants and bought us the cool yellow balloons so we could blend in. 

Lots of yellow ballon things to make noise

I swear I'll get better and more consistent with writing but I just wanted to share a snippet of whats been happening in my life.

Peace!
