From Busan: First Day at Work

Today was the first day working, and it started a day earlier than I thought it would have and a week earlier than I wish it would have. Although I felt very unprepared work wasn't bad there was another teacher who sat in the classes with me, although I did most of the work. I am the only foreigner working at the school but it's a small school anyway.

The kids at the school were very interesting and interested in meeting me, the day was filled with kids looking in the window of my classrooms while I taught, or in the teachers offices between classes. The other teachers told me they were interested in seeing me because the last native speaker they had at the school was "fat and ugly", and "I was not". It's not too surprising that they didn't think highly of the previous native speaker, because I am not too sure they previous native speaker thought highly of them. In the cover of the books I used I found written: "Worst mistake of your life.", "They'll drive you crazy just to line their pockets." and "Watch out they'll steal your soul." I found these mostly funny, and my first day went well, but I will have to finish out a couple of months to see whether or not I agree with them.
