I don't seem to have done anything this past week but I seem to have been pretty busy. Lots of lunches with friends, dinner, drinks, shopping and socialising. Getting in as much time with people before I leave!

The weather is finally starting to get nicer. Although the other day it was raining and I was on my bike to work. I was waiting at the traffic lights to cross the road. An older Korean lady saw me waiting with no umbrella and came and stood with me until the lights changed. It was the sweetest and also slightly uncomfortable thing! The traffic lights take a while to change here and my Korean is so limited that we couldn't really talk! So we stood awkwardly until they changed!

It has also become ritual at spinning classes for the whole class to be introduced to the weiguk and the whole class has to turn round, wave and say 'Hi Joooss!'. A little embarrassing but I am getting over it.

There are also lots of new teachers arriving in Gunsan because a new school year started recently. It turns out that a new guy is friends with my old neighbour in NYC!! Talk about a small world!
