Korea can be characterized by the coexistence of the old with the new. While nothing is really maintained, its simply changed. I've noticed that while a lot of buildings are new, shiny, and brightly lit up at night, a good number of the buildings on the side streets are literally falling apart. I don't know if this is a cultural thing or not, but it seems as if a new paint job every once in awhile would make Korea a better looking country in general. Though this would probably be seen as a waste of money over here.
On another note, my weekend after the first week of teaching was nice. The first two days I just chilled at home and rested. On Sunday night I went to the nearest bigger city to meet up with some friends for dinner. We had fried chicken and beer. It was really good. I headed back the next morning and went straight to work. Overall a good weekend!
