I really like the atmosphere in the school, and outside there is a nice view of the countryside. The people in the school are very friendly and hospitable, and the students are excited and social. On Tuesday, everyone went to dinner together - it was my first Korean dining experience, and I enjoyed it very much! Yesterday, I helped to harvest some sweet potatoes from the school's garden, and received a big box of sweet potatoes as a gift!

Sojung(co-teacher) has been very helpful in showing me around, introducing me to everyone, and helping me to become accustomed to the new environment. The apartment is new, and in a really good location, with easy walking distance to everything (2 minutes to the bus stop). It is clean, and a good size (separate area with door for kitchen, and separate area with door for the washer), and there is a pretty big window. I like the river, as well.

I am sorry that the driver did not call you(recruiter-Ann)...maybe he was confused and thought that Sojung(co-teacher) was you...because she called soon after the plane landed. I am not sure...
The plane arrived about 40 minutes earlier, and I met the driver on time (around 2:30pm). The flight was comfortable, and I did not really notice that it was 14 hours (because I was sleeping most of the time.... :)!

Today, we went to Icheon for the health check, which was really quick (less than 30 minutes for everything!).

Thank you for being helpful! Sojung also said that you were really organized.
