1st Entry

Ok this is my 1st Blog entry so bear with me if its a little rough. I arrived in South Korea close to the end of September and have been teaching English to Middle School children at Naedong Middle School. Since I have been here everyone I work with has been great to deal with. As for the kids all of them are great outside of class and then when I get into class they can be a little disruptive. I would say about 25% of them really want to learn English, 50% are so-so, and another 25% just don't care. The 1st grade is like the US 6-7th grade,2nd grade 7-8th grade, and 3rd grade is like our version of freshman.
The city I live is called Bucheon and its really nice. There are loads of the tall apartment buildings that you see when you think about Asia. There is a pretty nice park with alot of walking paths, fountains, ampitheater, statues, basketball courts, and etc. This park is called Central Park and has to be one of the nicer city parks I have ever been to. Its really nice just to walk around on a fall day. Across from Central Park is the city hall. At the city hall they have basketball courts and sometimes they have artwork on display or they might have a farmers market going on the weekend. Another interesting fact about my city is that its the center of animation for all of South Korea. It has the nickname city of cartoons. Here are some pictures of my city,Bucheon.
