(S)Training

I am now entering my last day of training in Seoul.  Tomorrow, if I pass my final mock teaching, I will head to Chuncheon to teach for a year.  Training has been pretty rough just because of the amount of info in such a short period of time, but I feel as if I'm holding my own.  I'm very excited to see what Chuncheon is like and how it is different from Seoul.  Seoul is an amazing city with lots of people, cars and buildings.  Everyone is always trying to get somewhere and everyone is always trying to do it quickly.
But there are also some nice places off the main roads that are small, family owned establishments and restaurants that don't have that big city feel.  They're cool to see and not really hard to find (I mean, I found them.)
I'm excited to see what Chuncheon is like though.  I hear there is a good mix of city and natural scenery.  Lots of lakes and mountains.  Good just in case you're climbing the mountain and you fall.  You have a good chance of falling into a lake and swimming to safety.  Although I'll be about an hour and a half from Seoul and LW and friends, I think I'll enjoy this sort of serene atmosphere.  Gotta go get some studying done for tomorrow.  I will be back when I can.
But, I'll leave you with this video:  If Karim Garcia can be this popular in Korea and make it big, why can't I?
