We have finally started teaching at ECC Ansan. The first day was quite overwhelming. Teaching would be intimidating enough but we are teaching kids who primarily speak a different language. We do have to confess that God has blessed us beyond measure. We are constantly reminded of His goodness when we meet a new friend or find out how great our experience has been thus far. Our flight was very nice. We also have had more of an orientation than many of the other foreign teachers at ECC. Also, our apartment is way beyond what we could have hoped for (three bed and two bath). Even when we feel desperately out of place, we realize that God will provide.
We have already experienced some cultural difficulties. We have come to find out that there is a lot less English than I had expected. I admit that I probably expected too much English. Despite the language barrier, we have managed fairly well so far. Pointing and grunting seems to work in many shops and we are able to "play it safe" on things like rice and pasta in the grocery store. This is all I have for now but there are and will be plenty more adventures to tell of. Later.

We finally made it to Korea and what an adventure. More will be coming soon.

I am about to embark on a once in a life time journey. I am going to South Korea to teach English; yes, English. I may be a Math major but you do what you have to to get a job. I will probably use this blog to log my experiences but I will also probably use it for the same old boring stuff. Until next time.
