Just Around the Corner

About a month ago, I was saying goodbye to Anlia and Abri in our apartment building after work, and as I turned the corner to go to my apartment this is what I saw right in front of my door!!!!

What the heck!? Right? I was so creeped out. I proceeded to start stomping by feet and saying, "Excuse me, excuse me," but he wouldn't respond. He was soooo drunk and passed out. Then Anlia and Abri came to help. I didn't want to try to open my door because I was afraid he would try to grab my leg or something. Abri came to the rescue, though...

He dragged the man away, and the guy didn't even wake up! I was amazed. After I got inside my apartment, I just waited by the door to hear what happened. Turns out this man is my neighbor, and it wasn't the first weird incidence I had with him. One time he got locked INSIDE his apartment and I had to catch his keys from outside his window then unlock the door from the outside. So I should have been expecting something like this from him. Oh Korea.

Long Overdue Pt. 2: A Date with Soju

When Leslie was visiting, we decided to go to a soju bar. It was really fun, but we were totally lost in translation. We just wanted mixed strawberry soju but ended up with a whole array of random food. The pictures below don't do justice to the strangeness of it all.

Definitely were served some hot broth and blown up fruit loops.

Some beans, cornflakes, and ice cream... Can't go wrong.

Leslie enjoying every last bit of it.

Not pictured above: the TV we watched WWF wrestling on, smiley face potatoes, our delicious slushy soju, and the size of our private booth with a sliding door.  

Long Overdue Pt.1: Leslie in Korea!!

Best bestie in the world came and stayed with me in Korea for a week. Pretty sure I was in heaven the whole time. I had a blast. I was able to relive the first season of Glee, play badminton in the park, stay in a luxurious hotel and order room service, and take photo booth pictures. I can't wait to see her again!!!

Holy cow, she made me laugh so hard the whole time.

My students kept asking if she was coming to class even though I told them she went back to California. I think they kept asking for about a month after she left.

I made these students ask Les questions then write biographies on her. They wanted to know her weight and if she believed in aliens.

This picture was for Molly. 

Going out with her felt like home again!!

Can't go wrong with McDonald's, ESPECIALLY not one that plays Chris Brown at 3am.

 

Addicted to the photo booths. These really need to become more popular in the States.

Friends in Good Ol' Korea

I thought you might like to know who I hang out with : )

P.S. Molls and Les: I'm so happy you look at my blog! This one's for you.

My Munchkins

Here's a little snapshot on science day of my youngest kids that I teach (my babies). Most of them didn't speak any English on their first day in my class and now they're able to tell me stories! It's so fun and rewarding to see how far they've all come in learning English.

And yes... we wear lab coats on science day^^

Muju

I went to a skiing resort last weekend in Korea with a group of 15 people. We left Saturday morning and came back Sunday afternoon.  I was feeling rather adventurous so I decided to be a lodge bunny and read : ) It didn't take long for most of the skiing newbies to join me, though, so I was quite happy to enjoy good company and conversation.

Trying to perfect the heart^^

Sleeping arrangements were a bit tight with 15 people sharing a huge loft and one bedroom, but luckily everyone was so tired we all passed out pretty early. All in all, it was a great weekend!

Hello Kitty (^o^)''

Here's a little glimpse of when my nails were graced with Hello Kitty's presence. Aren't they fantastic?!

Any suggestions for my next character?
