Time Flies

It's kind of hard to believe that I've almost been here a full month. Not much has changed since my last post, but teaching does get to be more fun once you get to know the students. I always thought it was quite amazing how teachers could remember all those names, but now I understand. You remember the good students names because they don't bother you, and you remember the bad students names because you say them at least 50 times a class. All in all, things at work are falling into routine now, which is good.
Outside of work, however, I'm still trying to find routine for my mornings, wandering around the city, and hiking up the nearby mountain can only take up so much time. And the fact that I can't read Korean doesn't help much either.
I will say one thing though. Living in a country that actually cares about soccer while the World Cup is going on is very cool. In America we never heard much about it, but here every one is cheering for South Korean Red Devils. People walk around with red shirts and light up devil horns on their head. Last night I had my second class off so I got to watch the game while all my other fellow teachers were teaching. I was walking to a bar to watch the game and on the way I could see TV's in almost every single store and restaurant watching the same game. Wherever you went you could here cheer's or cries of greif echo through the city because so many people were watching the game. If South Korea does somehow manage to win the World Cup, this place will literally explode.
