Wonju

Well, I have accepted a position as an immersion teacher at Sahmyook elementary school in Wonju, which is just about central Korea, about 1 1/2 hours outside of Seoul. I start August first, though I hope to stop in Washingon/Oregon on my way out. So I will probably leave Massachusetts in mid-July.

The most important thing for me was trying to find a good school to land at rather than the most ideal location (I was thinking Bundang, which is a Seoul suburb). I still need to get a laptop, camera, and hopefully an iPod. There are a lot of things that I will need, actually, though those are probably my biggest ticket items. I will have to have all the shoes I need before I get there, not only because I wear a size 8, but mostly because Korean women reputedly wear crazy looking very high heels. I'll pass on that, thank you! So, I have to get everything in order here, as well. But, thankfully, I have plenty of time. No need to feel rushed!

Took some great new pics while Stephanie and Jordan were over last weekend.
I'll add them soon.
