My first day was long and tiring. My co-teachers showed me my apartment and then afterwards we went shopping at E-mart, which is similar to Wal-mart in America. E-mart is a mart for Everything, literally. First I compiled a list of things I would need such as a pillow, bed sheets, shower slippers, food, etc. Then we managed to find everything and make it back to my apartment and they walked along the path to school and showed me where to go. It was fairly close, only about 5 minutes away. my co-teachers told me to come to the school on Monday which was in 3 days. Finally, I had made it to Korea and I was in my new home. Now the only thing left was to meet the school principle and other teachers and of course my students. I still didn't know my schedule yet which didn't really bother me that much because I knew the first week would be introductions about me.
My co-teachers lived in Daegu so I couldn't contact them for something like, What is good to eat around here? lol So I was finally on my own. This time I was alone. I had no phone, and there was no one I could talk to. I wanted to talk to my parents or contact my friends that I had made it safely to my home. It was about 8 o'clock or so by the time I got the courage to go outside and explore my new neighborhood. It was dark outside so I figured I should try to find something. Suddenly, I had a flashback of Japan, a trip I took two years ago where I was lost in a neighborhood and it was pitch dark.
