Busan: The New Home

Nav and I arrived in Busan exactly at Saturday, June 25th 11:45am, local time as indicated. No delays, we got breakfast served to us, and the flight was great. 12pm noon, we were finished with customs, and other paperwork process. As soon as we got out of the airport, there was a driver waiting for us holding "Navjot Dhillion" sign. He spoke zero English but he was helpful enough to be with us until our co-teachers and representatives from the Busan Ministry of Education was with us.


Busan is in middle of the typhoon season so it was drizzling rain when we arrived but few hours later it started to pour like crazy! Nav and I said our farewells because his residence is located 10 minutes away from mine. He is in the Haeundae-gu district while I am in Busanjin-gu district. Nav and I already befriended a local resident (Chris) who moved here from Halifax to teach as well. He has been quite helpful and he informed me that I was taking over the position that his friend Kylene taught for three years.

Well, I am safely in Busan now. I have been using the Internet Cafe that Chris has told me about. I am still trying to figure out what my exact address is but so far I know that I am in Busan, South Korea, in the district of Busanjin-Gu and my building number is 102 and my room number is 705! I have taken some pictures of my room, so here you go!





The bed is a before and an after shot because I got new bed covers!
The co-teacher and the senior English teacher at the Yang Dong Middle School visited me and told me that I will be teaching grade 7, 8 and 9s and that there would be 34 students and that there will be a native Korean teacher in the classroom at all times. I am a bit nervous but excited as well. I will let you know how my first day of teaching goes soon.

Things to do: Get Internet at my own place so I don't have to come to the Internet Cafe and see everything written in Korean. I cannot upload any pictures for that particular reason. Hopefully I can get Internet in less than a week.
