... should not repress a desire to search for love.

Tomorrow I'll go to a baseball game. The weather is cooling off at night here and the days are nice. I'm on the job hunt everyday. The anxiety of the search is medicated with my memory archives of the joy of my early days here and what I have experienced over the last two years. All it takes is a commitment and then stepping on that plane while being ready for the beauty of the unknown.

... to take pictures inside the plant, but I was always curious about the assembly of cars, and now I know how it all goes!  Basically, machines do most of the work.
We went back to the hotel for a sit-down lunch in the same big room.  Then, we headed off to Everland theme park.  When we got there, we had to wait a while to buy tickets.  During that time, my roller-coaster buddy, Kori, and I mapped out which rides we wanted to go on in the park, in ...

... got to splash in the water and had a relaxing time. Kate and I were the 2nd and 3rd in line for bungee jumping! It was amazing! I wasn't that nervous, and just took the leap, but in the first 1/2 second of my fall, the though that went through my head was something like "oh ****". But with just a little gasping scream, I made it to the bottom, up, down, up and down again and finally hung upside down spinning in circles while the man with the boat rowed out ...

... the friendship and be clear about what you want. If you like a guy (or a girl), tell them. Don't do the dance. The dance causes too much drama and hurt feelings. Relationships are too difficult to deal with all that stuff. Just be honest! Well...enough said. Sorry if I digressed. Right now, this is something strongly on my mind :) So, of course it should enter my journal somewhere!

That's it. Good evening with students :)

Things I've noticed-

Young flight attendants in powder blue with ribbons in their hair and scarfs around their neck, all flocking together, looking much more like the flight attendants from Catch Me If You Can than any I've ever seen.

American celebrities like Hayden Panettiere and Tiger Woods on t-shirts and advertisements.

Stores like KFC, Burger King, Chanel, Burberry, Gucci ...

... Ha! So weird! Okay, four stops later, we arrived at Seoul Grand Park! This park is soooo much more than a park! It is in the middle of some kind of forest reserve so it was beautiful! Vendors lined the sidewalks selling food, toys, and balloons. I was soo close to buying a bubble gun! Eeewwww, and there were ajummas selling silk worm larvae!!!! They have these huge boiling vats of silk worm larvae! The smell of these little bugs ...

Today was another irritating day! First, last week (after two days and 60 speaking tests) the directors at the school decided I was not grading tough enough and I wasn't putting enough emphasis on grammar. So they pulled me into a conference and told me that I was doing about a thousand other things incorrectly! Well, if you wanted it done a special way, then you probably should have told me at the beginning!!!! So now, I had to test all those kids AGAIN with a ...

... way home. The market wasn't what I expected really, as it was spread out over such a vast area, but I imagine that if I ever need anything in the future, that's the place I'll return to. In terms of work, the week after Christmas marked the start of the winter 'intensives.' As the children are out of school, my start time switches from the afternoon to the morning, something that I wasn't relishing at all. However, these month long periods only take place in ...

... with dead water buffaloes. Although these days this balance seems to be more and more disrupted as our greed as over active monkeys wrecks havoc on the scales that mother nature has placed us on. Tomorrow I'm going for a late evening hike with Julia. The trail will be lit this time so no worries of falling off a cliff at the worst and a sprained ankle at the least. It's late and I should go to bed. -Thanks for reading.

... I tried two kinds: plain soju and lemon soju. I took a liking to the latter, but have to agree with Allison that the former is indeed evil. Strong. Well, at least I thought so, until somebody force-fed me baijiu in China, which gives a new meaning to the word strong, not to mention vicious and repulsive. One of the things I wanted to try but never got around to doing was to go to one of the tents set up on the pavement, with little red tables where people sit down and eat and drink ...
