Today I received my COMPLETE placement for the TaLK program in South Korea. I already knew the province, Jeonnam. But as of today, I will be teaching in a town called Damyang and my school will be in Changpyeong.
SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
See? Even Master Yoda agrees.
I mean, I know where I'm gonna be now. And now my family will know where to go when shit goes down and they decide to roll out like Autobots. So this means that geographically, I'll be pretty far from Seoul. My mother can rest easy knowing I'll be far from North Korea as well, because you know they don't particularly care for Americans... and I'm Black (and beautiful) too. :D
About my province, apparently, it's a tourist trap for Koreans and it's known for it's bamboo forests and... wait for it... HOT SPRINGS!!! Oh yeah, natural hot springs. I hit the jackpot. Beauty and hot springs. Damyang borders Gwangju, which is surrounded by the Jeonnam Province (seriously, how the heck did that happen?) and is therefore one of the more northern counties of Jeonnam. Geographically, it's not a bad place to be. Damyang also seems to be located between Jeonnam and Jeonbuk, but Changpyeong is definitely in Jeonnam territory, and it's right on a highway, helping it's attraction as a tourist spot.
I realize I posted something spontaneously AGAIN, but hey, this is good news!
For everyone who wants to know, I will not be giving out my address. I'm not stupid, not do I want random people showing up at my door seeking asylum. I WILL turn you away. Unless you're family or one of 7 select friends. I don't do moochers either. lol.
Now it's time for me to stop writing and figure out how to set up a VPN network. I refuse to live without netflix and hulu. Nope. Not when I need to watch Supernatural and they have all of Star Trek and Dr. Who.
Cheers!
