First, Happy Birthday Dad! Ok, so today, I took a walk just to find the Post Office. It wasn't hard to find at all, and it's basically a hole in the wall behind the bank. Since it is Saturday, I expected it to be open in the morning hours, but closed in the afternoon. Well, I was wrong. When I got there it was chained up, but I could see the hours in the window. I couldn't very well read it, but I thought to take a picture of it to show the ladies at work so they could tell me. I found out that it is not open on Saturday or Sunday, and I'm still not sure what days it is open until 4:30 and what days it is open until 6 pm. At least ... read more

I have a little boy in my class who is one of the cutest children I have ever seen. His name is Chung-Woo (pronounced Chung-OO, the "W" is silent). You just want to pinch his cheeks, and when I do, he pinches mine back! So we are stuck in the cheek-pinching-death-grip and then we both start laughing! Children are so cute and innocent! Also, when he cries, he tends to lie on his belly with his bum in the air and wail. It's really funny, and whenever I want him to stop crying, I usually just pick him up and play airplane. Then he stops, and then I have 13 other munchkins wanting me to airplane them. There is also a little girl named Do-Hee who is just so cute! At first she was a defiant ... read more

On my quest to find a new cheap purse, I decided to try the Saturday/Sunday markets. Although, I found many interesting things, I did not find a new purse. They did have some knock-off Louis Vutton (I don't even know if I spelled it right) bags for 110,000W, which was waaay overpriced! So my quest for a new bag goes on. I ended up at Lotte Department Store, which is a high end department store with 8 floors and a movie theater. I just explored the store and wound up on the first floor looking in the clearance purse bin. I found a purse that I liked and since it was from Lotte, it is better quality, so I decided spending 50,000W was the best that I was going to find, so my search is complete. ... read more

So the owners of the building decided to remodel the lobby that was just remodeled. Mrs. Ahn was soooo mad, as were all of the foreign teachers, because the workers didn't do their work on off times. No, they decided to knock ceramic tiles off of the walls while our students were entering and leaving the school. Genius. They also rigged the elevator so you may or may not get an electric shock while the stairs were out of order due to all of the debris. Awesome. In the end, the lobby looked exactly as it did before they took the first swing of the sledgehammer. Well, the work was a little more shoddy than before, but it was basically the same. And now for our history lesson of the word "Shoddy." Shoddy was the scraps ... read more
