Church baazar and co-workers

I love my school and am happy I did not let the stories I read keep me from coming here. I also think it has to do with where I live as well. I live in Uiwang near the art and design school and by 2 English academies, so the people around my area are used to foreigners. Ever since the first day I came to the school all the teachers have been nice to me. They treat me very nicely and are always concerned. If I like the food? If I am eating? If I am sleeping well? Do I like where I live? Am I able to communicate with my family? Oh and if I have enough things in my house ( dishes, appliances, sheets)? My 3 core friends I have made here are Ji-Hey (co-teacher), Kyoung-Ja, and Sun-Ah. Last week I went with them to a church bazaar near my school. There was alot of food there and not much as far as objects for me to buy. But they did buy me things to try also some of my students gave me some food. Everyone here loves to hear that I like anything Korean.

    It wasn't my particular school it was mostly the language academies. The students were rude. The bosses tried to screw you out of money, the co-teachers ignored you or were rude to you, one black teacher asked if they were in a gang or owned a gun.
