Katie's Wandering Seoul

I realized today that I haven't really written about life in Sangju or my job...so I will do that now! Sangju...after hiking up a small mountain I came to Sangju on Feb 28, and before I got here I was a little nervous because I did know that it was a small town.  Some of the people are orientation were saying that there was NOTHING to do in Sangju.  I do have to admit though that I am pleased with life in Sangju so far.  Yes, it is a very small town, but it's a nice cute little town.  There is a pretty good group of foreigners here and they have all been pretty nice and welcoming.  There are a few mountains that Beth and I try to go hiking every week (we haven't been doing so well this past week or so because we have been sick and super busy with work). It's also nice because it is really easy, cheap, and quick to travel anywhere in the country.  We can pretty much get anywhere we want to go in like 2-2.5 hours and the price to take a bus round trip ...

We talked many times in orientation about Korea and how you kind of just how to go with the flow.  They do a lot of things very last minute, so be ready for anything.  I finally realized how true that was today...I was supposed to teach middle school today, which starts at 9:10 and I am told to get there at 8:30.  I figured I would start off on a good note and get there early, so I got there around 8:10 to find out that my class will be starting in 5 minutes!  Class starts, no co-teacher but we get started anyways on classroom rules and introducing myself to the kids.  About 5-10 minutes into the class two Korean teachers come in and start saying something in Korean (so I have no idea what is going on), they finish talking and all my students get up and walk out of the room with them! So...I am told I will have a class around 9:50, 9:50 rolls around and no one shows up.  It's now about 10:10 and still no class or co-teachers are coming to let me know what...
