... more left in school as i could not carry them home with me - all decorated in ribbons and messages like 'I love you', 'especially for you' and (amusingly) 'I thank all of your love, and send you this delightful sweet from my hearty appreciation'!<br>I was very grateful to receive them from my co-teachers and many students ... and made the day all the more fun as we all had sugar rush from the huge amounts of ...

... on the inside sixth and seventh floor) and someone went to check on the other lady who was supposed to have been there to open the building. She had some accident is all we heard, not in her car or anything. I think that was code for "something happened that we won't mention, but she is ok." <br><br>I started class about the normal time. This class gave me a lot of problems last time and after today I remember why because the same people caused me problems. There ...

... speak English. He asked me if I was a Christian and I told him yes and where I was from and that I was looking for an English service. I explained my schedule and he asked me to come by for 10-15 minutes and he could help me find an English service. I decided to go and that if I got back by 1:30 pm it would be ok. This Korean lady was super excited. It was the excitement as if she had converted me. We walked to her house which was across the street, and then ...

I'n officially the boredest person on earth. Daegu is a dead town. I get off work at like 10 pm and everything is shut down so I hang out with myself in my apartment. My IPOD still isn't working and there is no cable. I realized today I can't figure out the stove top so I'm very limited on what to eat. Also, I have to be quiet since it's the middle of the night. I go to sleep eventually and then wake up the next day and go to school, where I observe ...

... I have been keeping in touch with, I apologize for being repetitive. However, I have many people on the contact list that I have not. I hope you enjoyed the update and next time I will be sure to include more of my Korean experiences. <br><br>I hope all is well and you're enjoying the summer weather. (The heat is really taking a toll on my body. Good thing I have the only air conditioned classroom in the school). <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Tim<br><br>timot hy.mclellan@gmail.com

... go to a Korean restaurant for lunch. This time was very important for Beth as these two people were her bosses and seldom has family members visited teachers in Korea. We had a great lunch, sharing easy conversation (translated, of course) and again had many varieties of Korean food. Afterward we returned to her school for pictures, both them of us and vice-versa. It was great meeting them and seeing where Beth teaches ...

... great to catch up! After the wedding Young-Mi and I hung out and I finally met her boyfriend! This week has been an easy week at school. Third grade had national exams, so no third grade classes on tue and wed, and yesterday was a music and bowing contest, so only 2 classes in the morning! My favourite kind of week!The concert was great. Every first and second grade class had prepared a song and they all sang and danced! A lot of them sang in ...

... in Seoul schon Probleme, selbst die citibank hatte nur einen von fuenf Automaten fuer internationale Karten...), habe ich am Bahnhof die Tourist Information gefragt, die sogar auf diese Frage vorbereitet war:-) Leider funktionierte der ATM zu dem sie mich geschickt haben nicht... grmpf. Daegu ist die drittgroesste Stadt Suedkoreas, es gibt hier aber nicht viel zu sehen, morgen geht es weiter in die ehemalige Hauptstadt Shillas. Gruss Ralf

... of doing an 8km hike, but we had a good laugh about that when we finally completed 2. Our efforts were further thwarted by the incredible mass of people making their way up the mountain. I cannot stress how crowded it was with people streaming up and down a narrow, vertical (almost ladder-like), treacherous stone stairway. On a side note, we were utterly shocked to see very young and very old people scaling the unforgiving mountain all the way to its peak. It ...

... show them a video of Highland Dancing, which they find hysterically funny! I'm trying to think of what else they say? The fashion in my school right now is for boys to steal the girls hair clips and wear them in their hair. That's always entertaining. The students are awful to control now. The weather makes them sleepy and short tempered and there's never a minute when there isn't a student being beaten in our staffroom. It gives me a ...
