The kids here at English World are so cute and sweet. They really love feeding us teachers! Yesterday they gave me gum, and today I've been given oreos, yummy Korean peanut candy, and even yummier Korean cookies. These kids are absolute dolls!
This is day two (well, full day two) in Korea and I really like it. Gyeongju is a very neat city, the food is awesome, and the other teachers are all very friendly and easy to get along with. The students keep me in stitches. They all keep staring at me and giggling because I'm a foreigner. They are simply fascinated by the Miguki (American) teacher!
I really can't get over how good the food is. I never thought I would willingly eat anything that involved eggs and seaweed together, but it was yummy! The soup I had for lunch today was a very spicy version of Ramen noodles that included seaweed and egg, and it was great. Not only did it taste good, it also completely cleared my sinuses! Bonus! I also got to try a sushi made with seaweed, veggies, rice, and whitefish, which, much to my surprise, was also delicious. And as for radish pickles, where have they been all my life?! I am going to miss this food so much when I go home in a year!

"Passage—immediate passage! the blood burns in my veins! Away, O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
Cut the hawsers—haul out—shake out every sail!
Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
Have we not grovell’d here long enough, eating and drinking like mere brutes?
Have we not darken’d and dazed ourselves with books long enough?
Sail forth! steer for the deep waters only!
Reckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me;
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go, And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.
O my brave soul!
O farther, farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! Are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!"
~Walt Whitman, "Passage to India"
