slowly but surely

Hey folks it's Steve.  Just wanted to put up some pictures form our past few days.  Things have been going great so far, and slightly crazy as you could probably gather from Nikki's last post.  But we are slowly getting into a routine as our work has started.  We basically are tutoring a few kids with English lessons for a few weeks until the school year ends on 2-18 and then we'll start up teaching classes on March 1st for the new school year.  Our school is basically an English academy for kindergarden students.  They are some cute little tots and are very good about doing their homework and participating in class.  Of course, they act like little kids and are sometimes crazy, but that is part of being a kindergarden teacher right?  We wear slippers all day and dress in jeans/sweatshirts so it isn't all bad of course.

We have been slowly becoming proficient at navigating our city and doing domestic things like putting minutes on our cell phone and ordering food and finding our way around.  At first it was all completely unreal, but we are getting the hang of things.  We have found a few things that we like to eat and now we can walk into a restaurant and successfully order food.  I like the gim bap which is basically a sushi type roll with tuna salad, egg, and cheese rolled up in a seaweed wrapper.  

One of many little screwups

Our hotel bed.  It is supposed to rotate but sadly that feature is broken.
