A week of changes

Well... this week has been a week of changes. We were at school last week when the director of our school approached us to sit down for a talk. In Korea, they don't really discuss a lot with us foreign teachers so we were like OK. He proceeded to tell us that we were being moved to a different school with ELC that's about 10 minutes away. At first, we freaked out!!! We didn't want to move to a different school!!! We had just begun to get settled in this one. Anyway, we went and talked to the director at the new school. He was actually the person who we had communicated with and been hired by before ever leaving the US. He assured us that everything would be fine and that we would love his school. He was right!!! We completed our first week at the new school and so did everyone else. It is a brand new school with state of the art equipment and resources. It has an amazing view of the mountains, and we have better hours. Chris and I have also been put in charge of a class called the "Genius". We are the only two teachers that this class has. So, we have complete control of how we want there class to work. We're really excited about all the changes even though we were reluctant about everything in the beginning
Over the weekend, we made a trip to Chinae with some friends (the old downtown of Ulsan). The area was very colorful...even more than the typical Asian scene!!! We actually ended up eating Chinese, and it was ok but def not our favorite. Chris found a Disney character, Daphne Duck and thought he had to have a picture for some reason. After dinner we found ourselves in a board game hall. This is a place you go and they have hundreds of boardgames. They give you a noisy hammer and every time you play a game and someone loses you hit them on the head with the hammer. YES, I know what you are thinking CHEESY!!! You are right, we've decided that the Koreans have no shame, and no understanding of looking like an idiot.
Not a lot more going on here. O...but I did get a haircut!!! Well, not really, I just got bangs. Tell me what you think....I haven't really been able to decide if I like em or not. And Chris is absolutely no help!!! Be honest...bangs or no bangs?
