It's been a busy week at Corem! We just got back from our summer vacation so we are all trying to get back into the swing of things after our week off. We are also getting to know our two newest English teachers, Will and Will.
No, that's not a typo. Both teachers are named Will (although for the kids' sake, one goes by Will and the other goes by William). What's strange is that both Wills are from Colorado. The other day they also discovered that they share the same middle name. Quite the coincidence. Luckily, they don't really look anything alike so it's not too confusing.
One of the new Wills also has a girlfriend named Anastasia. She is originally from Russia but has been living and working in Busan for the past few years. Anastasia exports used cars to Russia. They met while he was here teaching last year. What's really great is that she is completely fluent in Korean (as well as English, of course). We've gone out to dinner as a group twice, and it is great to have someone around who can speak the language - I think our waiters and waitresses appreciate her too.
Her home in Russia is straight north of North Korea, and she said that a lot of North Koreans escape from their country and sneak to Russia to live. It was an interesting fact to learn.
