This is Ryan, my 'co-teacher' who's in the same boat as I am. Ryan, also a midwesterner, comes from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He arrived in Korea only a week earlier than I did. Korea however, is not his first international destination. He spent nearly two years in Tanzinia in the Peace Corps teaching Chemistry to local kids there. He's had some great experiences and some great stories. We've been having a good time hanging out together learning about Korea and Koreans through a bit of trial and error these past couple of months.
