Lately

A lot of eating, playing and teaching.

Who doesn't love breakfast for dinner (brinner)? It was almost perfect with pancakes, scrambled eggs and something we have decided to call "beefcon". What looks like the pork bacon that we are all used to turned out to be slices of beef. Didn't taste like bacon but it worked.

Saturday night was spent in Itaewon, which is known as the foreigner district. It is really close to a big US military base and the area caters to the foreigner crowd. It has bigger clothes, mexican food and even more English friendly then other areas of Seoul. Found a great mexican restaurant where we sat at the bar enjoying margaritas, chips and salsa, a wonderful bar tender named Dean (who sang along with David to the cover band playing Eric Clapton)

Talking with Smiles, who we met at the reggae bar...not quite the same as Boundary Bay reggae night.

Sunday night after a long day of eating spicy noodles and watching Harry Potter we decided to have some comfort food and made chicken wings and mashed potatoes. Special note about movie watching in Korea: Since we don't know how to check movie times it is best to head to the theatre whenever you feel like it and buy a ticket to the next showing. You also get to choose your seats in the theatre when you buy your ticket. Kinda sweet when you figure out where the best seats are.


In regards to teaching it has been getting a bit easier and a lot more fun as I am getting to know the kids better. Had another wonderful conversation with Sam (Cat in the Hat is a crazy monkey boy). He was trying to tell me in the best English that he could how he watched a documentary about dolphins having hands when the dinosaurs were alive. And how when a "giant rock crash the earth" the dolphins moved into the ocean and lost their hands. This was news to me but I told him that was called evolution and he said "yes yes teacher" and went back to his pokemon cards without a second thought. Next it is just one week of teaching until my two week Summer break!! First week will be spent exploring Tokyo!! So excited and will undoubtedly take a million pictures!

And lastly a video of a lovely Korean monsoon. This happens all day sometimes.
