A busy day!
Today was actually a pretty busy day. I got to school semi-on time. My second period class didn't show up, which left me wondering what was going on. Enter Mr. Park. Yesterday I told him that I didn't have a stamp in my visa saying it was renewed, and that worried me. So today we went to the immigration office in Suwon. On the way he informed me that he cancelled all my classes for the day :-) We made it to the immigration office just fine. Once we got there, some guy tried to tell us that I didn't need a stamp. Since everyone else I know in Korea got one, I INSISTED that we talk to someone else. The immigration guy finally told us, yes, I needed a stamp. SO, I am now legal to teach!
On the way home, Mr. Park told me that I could either go back to school, or go home. That's a no brainer... since I had my visa stamp, I could go to the bank! I thought I left a deposit slip at school, but it turns out I saved an extra one here! I went to the bank (first stopping at Skin Food of course... if I go the long way, I can make it on the way to the bank)!! Nothing exciting happened at the banks, I paid all my bills and transferred money home! On the way to the bus stop, I had to walk past the liquor store. Last time I was there they were out of Bombay Sapphire (gin) but this time they had it!!!!! Needless to say, I now have a bottle of Bombay! As I was exiting the liquor store, I watched my bus drive by. This left me with two options, waiting 15 minutes for the next bus, or going shopping!
Shopping it was! I ran to Lottemart and bought a shelf for my microwave, a table for my living and a toaster oven! After a year it's finally like I'm moving in! Total I spent under $100, I was excited about that! Took a taxi home, opened up my microwave stand and realized I needed a screwdriver to put the casters on. I went to my little conveince store, but they didn't have screwdrivers, so I went to the other store right by my apartment. Not only did they have screwdrivers, but they had BAGS OF ICE AND BOTTLES OF BUDWEISER. This is very exciting for Korea. I was told they didn't sell bags of ice, but lo and behold, they sell them right by my apartment!
The rest of my evening was kinda boring. Crossroads was on!!! So I watched it :-) And then I put together my new things and worked on cleaning my apartment!
On a side note, I finally finished organizing and labelling all my photos from China. If you want to look at them here's the link: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2123094648&code=17976815&mode=invite&DCMP=isc-email-AlbumInvite
Fair warning: I have 349 pics.
That's all for now! Have a great day!
