im in koreaaaaaaaaa

yay! after all the hassle ive been through, im finally in KOREAAAAAAA
u wont know how excited i am =)))

its reli interesting, to be surrounded by characters and a language that you dont understand at all....some people might feel uncomfortable about it, but i actually like it and i thk its reli exciting

my next challenge is to learn the korean language and im trying to memorize hangul 한글 now

today is my second day in korea, im still reli jetlagged and i nearly fell slp on my way to the demonstration class this morning...i met other foreign teachers there and all of them are guys and much older than i am....and at school, im also the youngest teacher....

ytd i actually felt a bit weird sitting in the teachers room, because i dont feel like i belong here....and when i see my students-to-be, i feel like im teaching ppl that is of the same age as me...

prior to my trip, i read lots of blogs online to get a gist of what i will face...
but most ppl teaching in korea are white, so i thought i wont reli get stared at a lot (with my asian face). later on, i figured out thats not the case....when i started to speak english, i get reli intense stares....as if the language that is coming out of my mouth is just wrong....and the another funny thing is, my school thought that i was filipino...

i didnt know i look like filipino...hhaha anyways, i told them im chinese and then the principal told me i look korean....and the kids thk im japanese

then this other male teacher started to ask me how old i am and whether im married or not....
oh, and i realized that korean people add 2 years on top of their age becoz they also take into account the time when you're in ur mother's womb....very interesting...that makes me 24, instead of 22.....

and yes, i feel old now
