Food for thought...

So, I don't have any cool pictures to post (although I will put up a video I took of my "flat" when I can), but I thought I would throw out a couple of tips for you all in case you ever do end up coming to Korea...
1. If you don't like people staring at you in the first place, don't wear running tights around town.
2. People in Korea are very pushy, by Western standards, if they don't know you and need to get somewhere. I never thought I would want to toss a grandma out of the way while getting on the subway but it's happened more than once.
3. If you have a sensitive gag reflex you will return to your homeland with a six-pack. Gagging is an excellent technique for strengthening the abdominals.
4. If you are a teacher at a middle school where there are girls, get used to them screaming when they see you, then screaming "Hello!" or "I love you!", then bowing as they run away, still looking at you, and almost nailing a wall or a pole everytime.
5. When you are at school all day and have to speak sooooo slow while exaggerating every letter and syllable for your students...you will eventually start talking that way to your friends who actually do speak English.
6. If you didn't smoke before, you will when you get here. Even if you don't take up the habit you're doing it simply by breathing.
7. Gyms are expensive. If you are frugal like me you might get your workout in by climbing up random walls on your run, running along the top of them, and then jumping down right in front of a random person walking down the street who will probably end up having to change their pants when they get home because of you.
8. If you lie to your school because you don't want to eat weird things and tell them you are a vegetarian even though you are the farthest thing from it, they will generously bring you vitamins and carbs until you feel like a brick and have to go running on walls in order to burn it off.
9. Burping in public is perfectly acceptable...which is awesome.
10. Learn Korean.

That's all I got:)
