The foreign and junior teachers went to Ashley's for lunch after mission day. Ashley's is a buffet with both Korean and American food. It was actuallyquite good.

Friends
Here are some of the friends that I met while in Seoul...they are pretty cool. The first few are from South Africa. The group pic is of all of the members of my orientation group. The couple in the centre are Mbali and Pmblani, and at the end is Tshenolo. In the pic with three of us is Myself, Mbali and Sinnette
Others stayed in the funeral home. It was really weird at first to be visitng friends in a funeral home. Surprising enough it was really nice in there. They had a 40inch plasma tv, beds and the rooms were beautiful. At the publishing house we had to sleep on yohs (the floor) a yoh is just a thick blanket placed on the floor.
Orientation
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to Seoul for orientation. I finally got around to posting the pics....sorry it took so long. The first couple were of interesting things I saw in the city, for example the gas station was called an oil bank, there was a shanty town close to the subway station, and the wedding hall at night was really beautiful
dinner and a smile
The all day club members and some of the foreign teachers went out to dinner. My meal was bulgogi(beef) and rice and you will see that is exactly what I got. It was really funny when my meal showed up. All I could do is smile and enjoy it. The others seemed to enjoy their meal.
Catherine's birthday bash
Jennifer Kang and a couple other teachers bought a birthday cake for my roomie on her b-day. It was a great thought until the the cake fell and we couldn't eat it. Although the cake was a disaster, we still had a great time talking and laughing about it afterward.
