Our First Week in Korea

Our first week at English Village has gone by extremely fast. The day after we got here Josh went to the office where he was taken to many different buildings and was introduced to many different people. Many of the people Josh met where Koreans who had randomly picked American names to replace their Korean ones... apparently it's a common thing to do, but they can come up with some odd ones like Sandy for a guy or Hot Guy=D I went with Josh for a little bit but Gabe started to get cranky after a bit, so we headed back to our apartment while Josh did school stuff. 

For lunch we decided to go the the cafeteria, though we arrive 20 minutes late they let us come in anyway. We then had our first taste of Korean food... lets just say that we had a hard time putting part of it down and didn't feel super great when we were done. So that night we hitched a ride to the local market as we had no food and we were not so thrilled about going to the cafeteria again just yet. 

The market was interesting, we needed help finding a few things and when we came across the fish we were a little grossed out with the whole fish, guts intact and oowy gooy nastyness hanging out of their mouth. We  ended up purchasing some anyway but it later got thrown away as I could not stomach the thought of eating it just yet. 

The rest of the week Josh was busy sitting in classes observing how things are done here and I was busy moving into our new apartment and trying to get Gabriel on a new schedule... which I am still trying to do. The weekend came and we got a little bored and we didn't feel like walking to town so we just stayed home and tried to catch up on some much needed sleep!

Sunday was Easter and we had some fun. I had hid some chocolate eggs that my mom had given me in our luggage and then I hid them around the apartment for Gabriel and Josh to find!                                                      

Gabriel had so much fun finding the eggs, but he was very disappointed when we had to keep taking them away because he kept trying to eat them!
