As of right now I'm staying at Freya Naksan Condo, which is in the city of Yangyang. Across the street is the beach and my room is the size of my apartment in Westwood, except I am the only resident (Kitchen, living room, bedroom, and plenty of room to move around, with a view of a beautiful mountain range). The province I am in may be perhaps the most beautiful province in Korea (it is the only split province in Korea with part of it being in North Korea). Surrounded by mountains, fresh air, friendly people, and peaceful surroundings, I am extremely excited for the next 4 months to be a time for growth not only as a teacher, but also as a student.
Today I was taken to a seaside town where we could pick out whatever seafood we wanted (alive) and have it cooked for us. In addition to amazing food, amazing views surround me. Korea is definitely growing on me. Since Gangwon-do is less developed than places like the Seoul area, I feel so much more at peace. The quickened pace of life in the city is not present here :)
My update is lacking in descriptive details, so when I have more time I will update with pictures and hopefully about when I meet my fellow co-teachers at Jangpyeong Elementary School.
Until then,
cheers.

You haven't been quite the same since your pilgrimage in Spain. The outdoors and nature will do that to you! I've always felt closer to my higher power when I am outside taking a hike or something than anywhere else. Perhaps you are starting to feel something similar.
