... hungry. I have a package of peanut ************ers so I said they could pass them around. I wasn't thinking about the allergies to peanut butter and one girl looked at it and said "oh, I can't eat it because I'm allergic to peanut butter". Then a few seconds later she said "I don't care, I'm eating it anyways!" I begged her not to because she would have an allergic reaction in my class and die. She said "No! No! I will just throw up". She ate part of one and she ...

... taking off is almost impossible. Another teacher's grandma died and he asked if he could have a few days off to mourn and she said no. It's pretty crazy. I have to talk to her within the next few days about going home for my sister's wedding....we'll see how that goes because I'm pretty sure that you're supposed to avoid taking off the first three and last three weeks of the semester, which December falls in the last few weeks and if you leave the country, you have to wait ...

... of space. But then I noticed all Koreans looking at me. It definitely felt weird but I persisted. I felt like the girl enjoyed the attention but I also know how these Koreans try to save face so she could of felt embarrassed. My drunk ass didn&#8217;t give a ****. I was having fun. Later I asked my buddy Roy about the situation and he said they were enjoying the ...

... school, Dongchon Middle School, that Beth teaches at. We rode to a very nice Korean restaurant and enjoyed galbi gim, which is similar to the other meat, but this is steamed, and cooked with pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. It was very delicious and quite enjoyable to visit with Beth's co-worker, son and boyfriend........very nice people and a enjoyable evening topped off by dessert at Baskin Robbins!

... t get dressed this time. Find the ladies pool area where you will see between 3 and 20 different pools of all different temperatures and sometimes liquids depending on the place. Most of them are just water (i think) but sometimes they are tea. I wish they had a jello one. Anyways, splash around for a while, go to the wet sauna (steam room), dry sauna whatever you want. Then, go back to your locker, grab some soap, go back to the pool room, pull up a seat and start ...

... Korea because I love it here, I love the people, the culture, the way of life. I loved the life I lived when I was in Korea and I wanted that all over again. But this time it was going to be different. This was not a road of discovery of a new country, but a new person. As I took my first steps into my new life I couldnt help but feel a tad nervous.As I sat and waited for the bus to Daegu I smiled to myself at all the familir things I'd ...

... friends.. you might like it here ;D Daegu is the third largest city in Korea. I wanted to see the famous herb-market too but it was just a street ditted with the shops and the flavors. Shops were filled with from herbs to deer antlers and snakes.Unfortunately the vendors dont speak English so mixing up a miracle herbmix for a headache would not quite work in there and I was left without herbs. Maybe in China then. The ...

As we were doing a good traveler team with Zac, we decided to go together to do a temple stay in Haeinsa temple. Temple stay is a program which was launched during the world cup in Korea in order to allow the tourist to discover the Buddhism temple of Korea. You stay 24 hours in a temple living with the monk, eating and following the different ceremonies. Haeinsa is part also of the UNESCO world heritage, they have in a part of the ...

... before that they will get married. I still cant get my head around it! Like they just say 'Oh yeh I'm getting married tomorrow' as if it's not a big deal. After the wedding I'm going to a baseball game. And then to someone else's roof party. The following weekend I'm going to the DMZ (De Militarized Zone between North and South Korea) and then to the huge Lantern Festival for Buddha's birthday. It's meant to be amazing!!! I can't wait! Will take loads of photos!!! (Korea is ...
