Although we didn't get into Gwangju until 12:30pm last night, our boss Simon told us to stop by the school in the morning to check it out. Little did we know that stopping by would lead to a full 8 hours of work and teaching classes completely by ourselves. Two of the other teachers left today for holiday so they asked us if we could fill in for their class schedule. The good thing is that it can only get better from here, and there wasn't much time to be nervous about the first class. To thank us for our hard work, Simon took us to a huge dinner at a traditional Korean restaurant that was amazing, although both Cam and I passed on the blood soup. The whole chopsticks thing might be a bit of an issue but I've got a year to practice. Long day, but it will only get easier... now back to my Max and my bed.
