more fun to come...

OK, just to show you all how cool the school is that I work at I wanted to post some pictures of my classroom, etc. I also took a bunch of photos from my trip to Chinatown in Incheon this past weekend and thought I'd include some pics of that as too (as well as a few other random shots from around town).

Oh! Also I found out yesterday that the Director of the school (my boss) is taking all of us teachers on a weekend getaway at the end of August. Apparently we're headed to this very popular tourist park about five or so hours away where they have hot springs to relax in and many beautiful mountains to climb. Sounds like it'll be wonderful! She had found out that none of us foreign teachers had gone anywhere over vacation and felt bad for us I guess, so she offered to take us on this all expenses paid mini-vacation. I am so looking forward to it!!! I've never been to any hot springs before... It's going to be great! :)

Anyway, onto the pics...
