Korean flexible
Living in Korea is a dramatic lifestyle change ~ it’s impossible to be fully prepared for complete immersion in a world that is very different that what you’re used to. I guess you learn to relax and “go with the flow” ~ Korean flexible.
I finally met up with a bunch of the other foreign teachers last evening for some billiards, beer, and pizza. It was really nice to have English conversation for several hours, and it was great to hear the stories of jet-lag impaired excursions, rural culture shock, assignments to multiple schools in far-away places. It was a relief to express some of my frustrations with life on the island ~ and comforting to have a couple of the teachers assure me that I will eventually come to love it here, if I just give it a bit of time.
