Seoul Plaza Hotel

... to Angelina as they screamed in terror and a river of tears flowed down their faces. While the boys fought valiantly against the monsters of the house with their assorted weaponry. Later in the day the moms showed up for a belated surprise birthday party for me. We had cake and I smiled kindly in my spider man suit. They slipped me an envelope with a gift card and I thanked them with a hand shake. So kind, so kind. At home after the ...

... if it was alcoholic or not. The glasses she gave us seemed like shot glasses but we couldn't taste any alcohol. Ming felt there was because he was turning red, and so perhaps there was but Xian and I didn't feel anything at all.<br><br>After dinner, we wondered around the Dongdaemun area, going in and out of the large number of shopping centres around. We didn't buy anything and we were all actually pretty buggered so we headed back and just called it a day.

... br><br>The service at the hotel was so much different than in Korea. The Koreans are overtly friendly, always smiling and ready to jump to help their guests &#8211; as an example the Hyatt had at least 6 staff members loitering in the foyer at any one time waiting to help or show guests in the right direction. In Prague the service was efficient, courteous but not overtly friendly &#8211; no smiles, very serious ...

... She loves animals immensely, I don;t mind them at all, the monkeys were excellent as were the Siberian tigers. We rode a ski-lift from the top of the park back to the subway to come home. If anyone ever forgets to mention it; the public transportation in Seoul and between Korean cities is tremendously efficient and convenient. You don;t even have to speak Korean and can likely find the appropriate bus or train to take you wheresabout. On ...

... Seems like those other Asian tigers - especially Malaysia and Singapore, have roared past poor Korea. The streets were drab and I was glad it was Sunday so the traffic was light. Koreans are unique all to themselves. Even 25 years ago they all wore face masks but now, with the swine flu, they wear bizarro custom masks. I should note that I was one of the few on any of the flights I was on without a mask. Asians, everywhere, love surgical masks. They even ...

... because there weren't as many PC bangs as in Seoul! Anyway it turned out to be a really enjoyable day, helped out by the weather which was perfect for a leisurely stroll. The main attraction in Suwon is the Hwasong Fortress which surrounds the city centre, reminiscent of York back home. I really enjoyed walking the full perimeter, chatting with Eun ju and getting some fresh air - definitely a nice way to spend a birthday. It must have taken about ...

... University (not to be confused with the stop called Seoul National University of Education, which is also on Line 2!). It is a really great place to be as far as subway stops are concerned. I really like my area. Also, the mentality around school and study is so different here. Even the stories we read together are about how popular kids are the ones who study a lot. One of the stories was about a boy named John who didn't have any friends because he liked to "study ...

Chapter 8- Juiceman- The **** Knight Happy Kwanza* *****es(*its funny cuz i just referenced a typically African American holiday during christmas time and I am white. hilarious).On top of losing things (so far i've lost a total of 3 jackets, 3 cellphones,1 wallet, 1 Mp3 player,4 bankcards and countless pairs of pants which were removed and found moments later) lately the hardest thing about teaching is hiding my self inflicted injuries on Mondays.
