Settling in (sort of)...

I'm now out of the hotel and at the training and orientation venue in Jongno-gu in central Seoul. It's nice to finally have a place to settle down (the hotel in Incheon doesn't count). It's also nice to have English spoken around me that doesn't come from a TV, haha.

A lot of other people just arrived and want to check out the area. I've already been here for two days, so I'm one of the few who opted to stay in tonight instead. I think I've seen enough to satisfy me for the time being.

My roommate is a guy from Ireland, who I was coincidentally chatting with at Incheon International Airport prior to boarding the shuttle bus, so we were already acquainted. He previously worked for a hagwon (private tutoring center) in Jeju and this is his first time with the public school system, so he's done this before.

Anyways, I'm finally going to settle down for a while and enjoy the temporary (but more permanent than before) stability in location.
