Korea is very much a schizophrenia for me. Its culture, values, and ideas are radically different. This is about my one year stay as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher in Busan, South Korea. Eating the K-food, riding the K-train, meeting the K-people: life in the K-hole.

My School

Picture post time!


No smoking? As if.

No student is this happy at any school.

Entrance to the school.


Map of the school.

Track and gym.

The main building.
This...thing? Outside the main entrance.

The main entrance. The sign says "No students" or something to that effect. Students have their own entrance. On the left wall are shoe cubbies; each teacher has one. You can't wear shoes inside the building, so you wear slippers.

A student entrance.

My desk is at the back of the room.

DISCIPRINE! They's in trouble so they gots to write stuff.

I'm not really sure what this is.

View of the city. We're actually on the outskirts.

Some students playing soccer.

Gym.

Way to the cafeteria.

Some benches.

Mechanics workshop.

Moar benches.

Old basketball courts.

A creek nearby.

Way to more buildings. There's a mountain behind the school.

There's more to the school but these are the main sights. I've explored some of the mountain behind the school and it's pretty awesome. Lots of old stuff to find. I'll probably take some pics of that as well.

An-nyeong-hi-gye-se-yo for now.

  1. How close is the school to your apartment??

    Also..I find it strange that you cannot wear your shoes inside. I don't know if that's the same for Japanese schools. At least, none that I have seen before do that. But I wouldn't be surprised either!
