Krazy Korea

Several weeks ago, Megan had a student who was so sick she actually pooped her pants. Instead of sending this child home, her mother was called to bring a new dress and underwear. Today, one of Megan's students fell outside during lunch. While there was no cut, scrape, brushburn or blood, she was crying hysterically for 10 minutes. This child's mother was called and she was sent home. For falling. And not having even a slight scrape. While the girl who shit in her dress! stayed at English Camp.

Why?

In other news, I added a few more photos over at Picasa. These are mostly rice photos because that is all that is here right now.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Early on Monday or Tuesday morning it was raining really, really hard. There was the occasional thumder and lightning as well. At point around 5am or so there was a crash of thunder louder than any I have ever heard. It shook the apartment building. It almost sounded metallic- like a dump truck gate slamming shut x20 or so. I was instantly awakend and terrified. I thought for sure it was a bomb from North Korea. Of course it wasn't, but I later found out that Preston and Jeremy thought the same thing.

Oh the threat of nuclear war.... haha, gets ya everytime!!

New Photos

I put some new pictures over on picasa. Mostly some random classroom stuff and a few pictures of Daegu last weekend. It's Friday afternoon. Just hanging out at work waiting for the boys in my bonus class to arrive. Preston, Megan and Jeremy left at 3 to go to the bank. So I am listening to Hanson and the Jonas Brothers and ... doing nothing else.

Chris is coming to hang out this weekend. Maybe I will have some exciting new photos to share.

The Weekend

This weekend, Jeremy went to Seoul to visit his brother, so Megan hung out the Preston and I so that she wouldn't have a Super Alone Weekend. Friday night I cooked and Megan joined us for dinner and wine. And Preston played Knights Of Honor.

Saturday after thoroughly cleaning the apartment, we decided to go to Daegu. Megan wanted to see Drag Me To Hell, so we went along. It got a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and we were seeing ads for it everywhere. It was ok. Lots of gross body fluids though. But it was mostly funny. It took us a long time to actually find the theater, which is on the 9th floor of the Lotte Department Store. In the basement of that store they were selling bags of fun size Snickers for 17,000 won!!! That is about $13.50. Crazy.

After that, Megan and I went shopping and Preston hooked up with Chris and they shopped a little too. Preston bought some new shorts and a shirt. I got a couple of shirts for super cheap. We ate Subway, which was pretty exciting for all of us. There were some Korean salsa dancers on a stage in the downtown. It was kind of funny and they didn't look totally comfortable up there- but they weren't too bad.

We ate dinner with Chris at a tiny Mexican restaurant. They sort of messed up Megan's order- but fixed it before it came out. Sadly, they totally forgot mine. I did get a free can of Sprite out of the deal, though. And then the waitress wanted us to pick more soda but we said we didn't want it. She brought out four more cans 'service' which meant for free because they screwed up. It wasn't a big deal, but we did get 3 free 12 ounce cans of soda, including a cherry Coke! We had to take the 11PM bus home and it was packed. Preston had to stand because he gave up his seat for an older gentleman. There were two guys standing next to me and I could smell the one guy's armpits which was pretty gross.

All in all, it was a nice Saturday. Next weekend Chris might come to Changnyeong to experience some Korean country living!


Suzi just said "One Time Lover" referring to Crisitano Ronaldo and Paris Hilton. Hilarious.
