I am going to be in Anayng, South Korea. I really know nothing about it except that it has a pretty sweet park and a lot of bars. If you zoom out you can go up and see that Seoul is not only HUGE but pretty close.

I am going to be working at HABA playschool which is a private school, or Hagwan, for kindergarten and elementary school aged kids. Their curriculum I guess is based on the idea the children learn best by having fun so I've been told that there is at least one field trip a week and that you teach through doing activities like cooking, doing art projects and of course singing/dancing. Their website is all in Korean but you can see what the school looks like and the absolutely adorable faces of the students there. I'm really excited to meet these little ones although I am nervous about the whole teaching thing. I'm taking over a girl from New Zelands contract so I will only be teaching for 8.5 months and not the standard year. Which I think is really nice!

My apartment is apparently pretty nice. It has a loft bed and a view of the mountains on a clear day. Here are some of the pictures that the girl whose contract I'm taking over sent me.
and one of the view!
Overall sounds like a sweet deal. I'm so excited, and a little intimidated as well, to see what SK has in store for me.
p.s. The title of this post should be read as if you were singing along to the Presidents of the United States song Peaches
p.p.s. For anyone who is interested in Korean culture and all it has to offer here is an interesting article from Matador. From what David says everything holds pretty true... although he has only seen one protest/riot haha
