Venture to Korea with Amanda & Abi

To all our friends, families, and vistors - thank you for visiting. We will be updating this blog as our adventure develops.

Two months down, ten to go

Hey all. We're still being crap about the postings, although might I say that the last three or four have been from yours truly :P. Work has been really busy lately. Last week we had sandwich day which took a lot of preparation. We had to make a pretend market where the students bought sandwich ingredients, and then they had to follow english instructions to make them and then discuss how delicious they were. It was hardly organized chaos, and four hundred sandwiches later, I never want another one. It was really funny the things they would put on them though. Like tuna salad, egg salad, ham and cheese. Barf! This week we have to do report cards for sixty students, which is not quick. Next week is Chusok (sp?) which is like Korean thanksgiving so we get tue, thur and fri off. Can't wait! I've been having some problems with my back and have been visiting the Korean hospital. Amazing. For an ER visit, prescription pills for two weeks (multiple pills), an ortho consult, and xrays it has cost me about $90. Unbelievable. The drugs make me feel drunk, which makes teaching quite interesting. I'm not supposed to be working so I have to teach sitting down. My skills at controlling the classroom are certainly strained. We've been swimming lately and that feels good. I have a date tomorrow with a Korean guy from Seoul. He's going back on Friday but I'm hoping we can be friends and perhaps he can be a tour guide when we decide to go to Seoul. One of our friends here who owns a foreigner bar and also Outback steakhouse has given us a free meal for 6 at Outback this weekend. Once again, the strangers hate you but once you're in..... Overall things are good and I think I speak for both of us when I say we're really looking forward to Chusok. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Go teabaggers!!! (P.S. I wore my jersey on what I think was your game day, apparently it didn't help your luck!)

much love

abi
