So the first day of training is down, and curriculum wise, I feel great. The subject matter is a bit different from the material that I taught back in Korea, but the methodology and focus are the same, so it was not too hard to switch over to the new program. I just got to remember that the students are going to be a lot lower level than I am used to.
Adjusting to life here in Vietnam is going to be hard. I feel really lost and can't seem to figure out how the city and life here works. I can't even figure out what stores are banks and which are telephone stores (both of which I need to find soon). It might be partially that I am a bit scared to get out and explore the area, mainly because it is just so different and intimidating. Apparently, the city that I m going to be moving to will be a lot less intense than Hanoi, so maybe once I am there I will be able to be a bit more adventurous and proactive about getting out and figuring stuff out. Plus, by then I will be a lot less tired and jetlagged.
I still have to get my documents together to go to the embassy, but thankfully I was able to make an appointment for this Thursday. Now just got to keep my fingers crossed that they accept all my documents that I am bringing from home!
Sort note for today (since it is only about 4 pm), I am going to relax and study for a bit before I either go to sleep or attempt to find food.
