... the walk was beautiful. We saw really nice pieced of this rural farming community and the way real Koreans in that area live. Its always nice to see slivers of reality. The streets were lined with golden rice fields and gardens of leafy greens and crimson chili peppers sprang out in every available lot of land. People had full gardens growing in their front yards with piles of chilis drying on tarps in their backyards. Sarah was perfectly happy. She loved the ...

... ne mukanani tuomat kansiot, kun olin juuri ehtinyt kokouspaikalle ennen sateen alkamista. Työkaveri ei suostunut kävelemään vajaan sadan metrin matkaa, vaan vaati meitä tilamaan taksin paikalle. Kuski luuli meidän hakevan jotakin äärimmäisen raskasta pakettia, joka vaatii kuljetuksen autolla. Herraa hieman hymyilytti, kun tepastelinkin takaisin taksiin pikkuisen mappikassin kanssa. Meni varmaan sarjaan "hullut ulkomaalaiset".<br><br>Jostakin syystä täkäläinen keittiömestari ...

... these necessities included a tv, but not a mattress, bed or bedding. Willemien notes that if people do not mind sitting on a restaurant floor, they&#8217;ll feel different about sleeping on the floor too. We explained that we bargained on a mattress for the night and declined the minbak offer. <br><br>A short while later we found a very neat, third floor pension room with a distant view of Incheon city's night lights. <br><br>After dark we strolled to a ...

... rules", so true, so true. I have had no students leave from any of my classes and feel comforted that the "Mom's" like me. There was some concern that I might not return to Korea after being home next week. But I assured them that I would be back with a big smile on my face to be part of the ever growing progress that their children are having. Don't get me wrong, I still want to bang my head against the wall less often than more, to which I sure Sally has a chuckle ...

I spent Easter at Seoul Grand Park with three of my girlfriends! It was such a great day. The weather had just started to get warm enough for sandals and light jackets! First, Amanda invited us all up to her room for broccoli and cheese omletes and bacon! Yahoo! Then we made a pit stop at Starbucks before we caught the subway for the park. Originally we were going to go to the actual Cherry Blossom Festival at Yeoiudo Park (I think ...

... tour guide. He welcomes us to a modern mini-bus that is capable of transporting double our numbers. This is good because every one can have a window seat, if they want one. It is early and we are ready to explore and come to respect Korea and her people. The weather is improving with sunlight now blanketing the area with a little of its warmth and a lot of its light. The luck of the White Lady is secure at another port. It is a cool but thoroughly delightful day to tour the ...

... weeks. The first week of March will mark the beginning of the full semester. I will have a brand new schedule (afternoon schedule now, about 1-9pm) and all new students too. This will be my schedule and students through the rest of the semester (July). Also, this is when we move to the new building! I will finally have a teacher's desk!!!! Yahoo! It will be so great to have a place to put my stapler and dry erase markers, instead of carrying them around like a ...

... fine" to all of the questions! Bless them. Without question, there is a higher workload for 'nokjiwon' teachers, but the main advantage is that the students are a lot more motivated, so unlike on other floors, there have been no issues with behaviour at all. Organisation is imperative due to all the paperwork involved, but I am usually quite organised anyway, so I am on top of everything at the moment. It's busy, but so far I am really enjoying spending time with such great students...

... best part was the black bean noodles which are a really popular Chinese/Korean dish, or Chirean as I would call it. We walked around for a while and then decided to go to the Bond flick. So we got our tickets for Quantum of Solice and when we bought them we got to pick which seats we wanted in the theater. Its great system because as long as you get your ticket early you don't have to show up early to get a good seat. The flick ...

... into the arrivals area, I was greeted by the familiar face of my old friend Matt and shortly after by Jay, my new boss. We walked through the parking lot in the rain across an endless sea of Hyundai and Kia sedans. If this didn't make it difficult enough to find a car, most of the cars were black and white. I joked with Matt that we should start a company in Korea selling those little yellow balls that go on antennas to help find your car in a ...
