Meeting for the First Time

Meet Yangjin! We just did! We've been talking with her since May, but we finally got to meet her in person last night. She is so wonderful! Yangjin is our recruiter. Basically, she is the person that helped us find a school, deal with paperwork and government stuff with visas and such, and she was our only contact and support person in Korea through the entire process of coming here.





Yangjin met with us and two other teachers that she had recruited. We had a delicious cup of coffee (my mint mocha was just perfect) and Ben decided to have something over ice. At first I thought it was odd that he would get something iced in the winter, but then I realized his logic. Because we are walking outside so much, we are usually bundled up. We keep warm outside, but quickly get overheated inside. On the subway ride into Seoul yesterday, I started sweating. A lot.







After coffee and visiting with the other teachers, we all went for a wonderful Italian meal. Yangjin found a cozy and very nice place to eat, and of course Italian is among our favorites. The entire evening was great, AND we were able to find the bus home by ourselves. Now that is something to be excited about!
