You can ring my bell.

Hanging out with Mr. Boar.

Andrew asked if we could take a picture of the girl in her hanbok.

Gyeongju Temple: "Bulguksa"

Busan Temple: "Beomosa"

I witnessed the night Namdaemun Gate caught on fire.
This was the first thing I saw in Seoul, it's really sad to see it gone.

I'm such a good tourist: camera around my neck, fully loaded backpack, peace sign in picture & a historical bell.

Insomnia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I can't sleep without the help of a sleeping pill and since I lost them on my vacation I haven't been sleeping much.

I don't think I look too sleep deprived, but today my student interrupts the class to say: "Teacher...You....Many, many dark circles."

All the kids laughed at me. It was great.

Korean Pads.

Pad commercials in Korea are weird.

1) A girl bumps into another girl. Girl #1 rubs her arm and looks off into the distance. The scene then cuts to a pad.
- So does that mean that whenever I bump into a girl I should be getting a free pad? Or do I owe her one? Or should i just be thinking about pads?

2) A group of girls are painting a room, having a good time laughing. Then we see a table with a bag of pads on it. Then back to the group of girls with 3:15 over them.
- 3:15 that's what time they all get their period? They can wear the pad for 3 hours and 15 minutes. I don't know about the 3:15? Any guesses?

3) A little wooden spoon is sprinkling what seems like green tea over some flat papery surface and then they dissolve. Cool effect right? This happens many times. Apparently the green tea has been absorbed into a pad.
- I don't know about you, but I'm not sure of green tea is suppose to be down there.

Best way to learn to use the bathroom.

Enjoy.

She's so cute...

I was making some coffee in the teachers' lounge, I look over to John's desk and I noticed he had a framed picture of a little girl. I thought to myself-- he's pretty young to have children--so I walked over to take a closer look. I didn't need to walk too far to realize that it was an empty frame and that the little girl in the picture is the one that comes with the frame.

The bottom right corner of the frame reads:

Precious Moments
MONART
10 x 15cm


I couldn't agree more.... it was a moment.
