never knew the hospital could be so good

so friday afternoon at like 4:30 my director lets me know that i have an appointment at the doctor the next morning. is that ok? well yes no problem. oh and we need 95,000 won or 95.00. Oh, haha, that will be a problem bc i meant to exchange some more money anyways but didn't get the chance with crazy friday classes. so anywayssssssssss

mr johan came at 9:40am to pick me up to take me to the hospital. then i rode the subway for the first time and he showed me how to buy tickets and how the subway works. the hospital was cool. while waiting in the international clinic i met jane a new zealander. she has been here for 4 years and is a university english teacher. when she first arrived she lived in nowon and so she was tellling me that you really just have to put yourself out there to meet new people and that there is an english movie theater right near my flat and also certain places to go to meet other foreigners. so i have some new things to look into. :)

after the hospital visit where i had blood drawn and had to give a urine sample, mr johan decided to take me to a Chongkyeonggang Palace. we walked around and then he took pictures of me in front of different things. hahaha it was great. then we walked around and we tried to go to an art gallery but it was closed so we settled on Starbucks instead. :) the prices seemed to be about the same. so i had some real coffee and cheesecake! and mr johan bought me some chocolate because he knows i love chocolate. (i am guessing from the gift which i bought for him but acted like it was mine....)

we were at Hyewa station which is like 20 - 30 min subway ride and there was tons of english stuff that. kfc, starbucks, oh man, so much stuff. he said it was the young crowd area.

so the hospital visit was much more fun then i expected and a good day out with my director

more on the rest of the day to come...
