There's a first time for everything.

Anytime someone visits some place new, there is usually a goal to visit new places and experience new things. "Firsts", if you will. Typing that out looks like a terrible grammatical error, but it is essentially the word for all the significant/amazing/unforgettable/milestone things one has done for the first time. There are several "firsts" that I want to do while I am in Korea, and several "firsts" that I have already done. This post will be a dedication to all the past, present, and future Firsts in our lives.

Firsts for Korea.

1st First: Moving to a different country.

This is a big one, and something that a lot of people will not have the chance to experience. I still can't believe I'm here!

2nd First: Moving in with a significant other.

Scary and exciting, and I could not have picked a better person.

3rd First: Buy a subway card and use it DAILY.

When first reading about Korea, I was so happy to find out that have a great subway system. This thing goes everywhere. And we are especially lucky because we have a brand new subway line that opened in October 2011 which connects us to downtown Seoul in about 5 stops. 20 mins. 2 bucks. So awesome.

4th First: Fish Pedicure. 

I had heard about this kind of thing, but never thought I'd be doing it so soon in my life, let alone in a coffee shop in the middle of Seoul. It was an ordinary cafe, right above Park Jun's hair salon (like the one next to the studio!), and next to the windows were two big tanks filled with water and fish; one tank for the big ones, the other for the smaller ones. It was about 2 dollars, and the most entertainment I've experienced in a coffee shop. Cheers Korea!

5th first: Become a teacher.

This is something I've been wanting to do, so to be able to do it in a different country, and have unbelievably cute kids to teach has been awesome. I can't wait to start on Monday and welcome my little Fishies to the new Pisces Classroom with me, Allie Teacher. (fishes....we have a theme here..)

While the other kids were downstairs for their graduation ceremony, my class watched The Little Mermaid.

Teaching the kids how to play connect 4. It turned out to be a game of who can make the prettiest pattern instead.

There are many more "Firsts" I will be doing in Korea, but that is all I have time for today. We recently moved into our bigger and better apartment (which I will post pics of soon) and I need to get to cleaning and organizing it. I hope this post has made you think about all the "Firsts" in your life, and has inspired you to do a few more!
