Payday



I STILL haven't been able to set up a bank account, but that's going to happen this week. It must. I'm going to see if I can go get my ID card today or tomorrow from the immigration office, then start the bank account the next day.


My pay for January came to me in cash, in a big fat envelope. It also included the money I brought with me that Ming Yu (the vice principal) exchanged for me. Evidently there is no bill in Korea bigger than 10,000 won, which is worth a little over $10. That makes no sense to me. Imagine getting $1500 in tens in an envelope. Wow.
