I got jabbed in the arm!...and it was still a great day!

So I'm only on my 3rd full day here, and things are getting better everyday. I love it! Today in between a couple of my classes, our school director, who acts very nervous and speaks very little english, took me to the hospital. Don't worry (dad), its all part of the deal in coming here! I had an eye test, hearing test, blood test, urine test, and chest xray. It all took about twenty minutes. Very efficient and clean hospital.
Then....today after work three other teachers and I took a cab to Home Plus, which is like a big department store here, because we all needed some stuff. The coll thing is we are all four from different countries, Canada, Australia, U.K., and the U.S. But they are all really cool kids. I got some Korean food, some "western" food, a drying rack for my clothes (we have no dryers), and slippers for work (you have to take of your shoes when you enter a building).
Overall it was a great day and I'm starting to like it more each day!
