Yeoju botanical garden.

The garden experience is a  great place to go and relax whilst experiencing nature.

Some of the flowers have been imported from other countries but these indigenous beauties looks awesome and smells sweet.
 some succulents on the left of this path..

interesting sculptures.

Yeoju first high school

So I started at this new school and my first high school position,and so far it has been challenging. There are some students in these classes who simply does not want to be at school anymore nor do they have any interest in learning any English whatsoever. http://www.yeojufirst.hs.kr/ is a big school with over 750 students ;not the little primary school I was used too for the last 4 years with just under 120 students. We share the same property with the yeoju first middle school and met the native English teacher yesterday Cindy. She is from Kwazulu natal and have been at the middle school for two months now.
Any way I have decided to write this piece now because I have some time to spare between planning lessons. The school is all buzzing because mid-terms exams are about to start and I have to do a lot of proof reading .
The area is rural and you have a short 20 minute bus ride to get into Icheon the nearest town other than Yeoju. I am also planning on visiting the premium outlets either today or on Saturday to get some gifts for family back home.Hope to write some more posts this time around about my experiences etc...
