A new update finally...
Had some trouble with the blog but I managed to find the fix. Well it's been damn hot - well I should say humid these last couple of months and is finally returning to a non-instant sweat atmosphere. 18 months in now and we're soon approaching Chusok (Korean Thanksgiving) which gives us a three day vacation later in September. I am liking the co-workers of my new school a lot more. Generally more professional and easy going and less of the cliques. Still it's a long teaching day going from 9:50 - 6:00 and to 7:00 three days a week. Kindergarten Kids can take it out of you - sometimes I feel like Arnold in that movie...they really can take a big man down. :)
We have had a few new teachers come and they are very nice. I think the best experience for me has been to meet such good people over here. My new British friend Lee met and married an American girl here after just 5 months - for his pseudo honeymoon he invited me over to the Hyatt Regency overlooking Seoul - he had the best room in the country's best hotel. Wow what a room and a view. My first time sharing a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon.
Just a kooky thing you see walking around Seoul - yes they really drive these around!
Field Trip - Thomas the Train was in a large shopping mall convention room and the kids in my class got the chance to ride Thomas. They had fun. I got to try out my new Nikon DSLR-- still learning.
This is an older picture of a field trip from a few months ago. This is the 1910 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost taken at the Samsung Car Museum. I have piles of pictures including the car in Back to the Future and Herbie the Love Bug and Kit from Knight Rider.
Anyway - not much for now - I've been working a lot and a side job to try and pay for an extra vacation.
