My first surprise of the day was when we got to the training building.  I had thought that most of the teachers were from English speaking countries and maybe that's true for some orientations but mine is mostly Koreans.  There are two other Americans in the group.  A guy from California who's been here for 3 years and a girl from Texas whose been here for 1.5 years.  I'm the only one who's just arrived.  So we had an orientation this morning before we went to get the medical exam.  Meaning we couldn't eat until after 3pm.  I felt sick most of the morning because of lack of food and then the medical exam wasn't very fun either.  Getting my blood drawn was quite painful and walking around in a scrub-like top wasn't enjoyable either.  Afterwards we went to a Japanese restaurant where I had Japanese curry.  Which I didn't know existed but was very tasty.  We got back to the hotel and I took a long nap so maybe I'm not quite over the jet lag.

Another surprise was a Korean Christian preacher, rather like the Wells Hall preacher, that was standing on the sidewalk talking to people as they walked to work.  I guess it's good to know that where ever you go, there will always be someone trying to make you think how they do about religion.
