Incheon Beach Hotel

... generally start to experience more. It might be a little while before I<br>get internet again, so I should have lots to say for next time. <br><br>- J<br><br>The Korean Word of the Day is joosayo, which means "may I<br>have" or I suppose could be translated simply as "please." It was the<br>first Korean word I used, in the context of "chopsticks joosayo" when I<br>didn't want to eat the Korean dish with the knife and fork provided.

... just started walking. After twenty minutes we realized we were leaving town, so we asked for directions again. We stopped at a grocery store adn asked a few shoppers for help. Amazingly....one of the women shopping offered us a ride! She actually insisted! She had her two daughters cram into the back corner of the van and sit on top of each other so the seven of us foreigners could pile into the van too. She said that because of the holiday, we would have never reached the ...

... in need of restoration, modern brick structures and a few Swiss styled log cottages. Even some of the most dilapidated houses had rose gardens and we peeped through the remains of a burned down shed. Inside lied a huge rusted anchor. With such shallow shores and open low tide mud plains, one wondered how the anchor got past the bay to get ashore. Or did it rather never make it into the open seas?<br><br>A narrow cement road led us along the waterfront between ...

... building which was opposite the hotel, so I thought I'd walk to it! Walking around I realized that there were no people around at all. Everyone is in a bus! Almost every vehicle here is a bus. Anyway, turns out, that dome is the departure airport...yay!! I'll tell you what though, I'm certainly not looking forward to the next flight!!! 12 hours....eeeerrrrr my head hurts thinking about it!!! Anyway, don't want to miss lunch!!!!

... is probably why we like this joint to much. Everything we need is right there! After a couple Long Islands, a few Sex on the Beach, and an impromptu photo shoot we decided to vacate and head to the club down in the basement of the same building. Can't remember the name of this club, but I definitely remember how much the music blew! We were bored so we decided to start a bit of trouble! Ha ha! We saw some ...

My second weekend in Incheon, we decided that we should go ice skating. It was...interesting. You will see why!!! At night we went out for one of the exchange students' birthday so I will probably stick in a few pics from that too so that you can see the other foreigners!

... And they were still having a great time......so................I sang! And I LOVED it! I sang so hard that my throat started to hurt! At one point, I swear my I lost my voice completely! I absolutely NEEDED a beer to soothe my vocal cords! Really, I needed it! Ha! Oh, yeah...the front desk has a supply of beer for purchase. I had a fantastic time! Also, I am quite confident I sing a better "Livin' La Vida Loca" than Ricky Martin!

... feeling relaxed, so that they contribute more in class... Perhaps now is as good a time as any to describe what typically makes up a working week at my academy: Monday and Tuesday Both days are devoted to 'speaking' tasks, which involves giving the students questions to answer, then analysing their responses. They are working towards the TOEFL test which has independent and integrated questions, requiring them to speak for 45 and 60 seconds respectively. My job is to refine their ...

... So we had dinner and then he gave me an Australian beer. I just hung out in my room watching the first season of 30 Rock on DVD. Then Saturday I met up with another co-worker, Jasmin, in Seoul. She is from Seoul so she knew exactly what I needed. We met at the COEX mall, which is absolutely huge!! It has a Kimchi museum, an aquarium, a movie theater, and so much more. I was really proud of myself too for catching the right bus ...

... flight. Unfortunately I still had to wait a while yet before the gates would let us through. When, at last, the waiting was over I got onto my last plane and immediately felt very, very tired. Another lovely flight attendant brought me some cola and I attempted to stay awake for the hour long flight. I was aided about half way through when the elderly woman beside me struck up a conversation. Her name was Kim Young See and was on her way home from ...
