Wow,,,
Those poor little babies. They want their children to work hard and have good lives I suppose but they are going a bit too far. Each culture has very drastic differences in practices. The United States seems pretty laizze faire when it comes to most things. I really love reading your blogs Erin!! I hope all is well with you and Dan. Take advantage of being there and love every minute! Miss you! <3

So Lucky
I'm so glad you got to see Dan and have less stress to be able to enjoy each other. It's great that Dan gets to spend some time with his brother. I really want to shower, use the restroom, and brush my teeth all at the same time!!! It sounds like fabulous fun! Korea, here I come. hehehe. While you're making your list of observations, make sure you write down a "top things to cram into a ten day vacation to Korea" list for me. I miss you lots! Tell Dan I said hi!

Hi Erin, I'm enjoying reading of your adventures. I kind of know what you're going through, and believe me, it will get better. Thanks for lending me your mom. I look forward to seeing her on Tuesday. Big hugs, Louise, Chloé and Patrick

Erin, I really respect you for what you have done. You have a whole new and foriegn world in which to explore. Please take the time to learn as much as you can about the culture, the way of LIFE that Koreans embrace. Learn their motives as well, for that will show you and Dan the true essence of the people. Theresa and I keep you lifted up in our prayers and remember to have fun on your journey. Tom

It's so good that you're starting to settle in. Hopefully your stuff will get out of storage soon. I know what you mean about feeling like you're camping not "home". Although my experience feeling that way was not from being in a foreign country so I'm sure you're feeling it even more intensely.

Erin your blog had me in tears.... it is so sad the lack of respect from the students hear. If they only knew how lucky they were. Keep me posted. Love ya Lisa

Oh, Erin, I love reading about your days. I know each one will get better and that you will make this time away from "home" something to remember. You certainly have wonderful kids and I wish our teachers were treated as well as you will be treated - respect??? That's a word needing much more practice in the States! Stay well, say hi to Dan and enjoy your book! I'm reading it right now as well! BC book for sure! xoo Kathy

Dear Erin and Dan, I have enjoyed your e-mails describing your experiences in your new surroundings. Please make time to write often as you both will be in my thoughts. Your Dad stopped in and got my computer working again, or I would have written sooner. Love to you both, Grandma Alderman

The first day is the hardest day...
Erin, I am blown away by your first day! I can just see you running around, thinking fast, and coming up with a teachers plan for your kids - without supplies and books! Remarkable! Your children are beautiful and choke me up when I see those beautiful little Korean faces - reminds me of my Christopher when he was little. Write often! I love to hear about your days! I'm no substitute for family, but I will be a friend who will write to you and listen to you ANYTIME! Keep up the good work! Fondly, Kathy

Bravo!
Hey Girl, I found your comments insightful and humorous. I also think that with your command of the English language, the seeds of a wonderful book are being sown. I have lots of supplies that I can make available to you, so don't hesitate to ask. At first, when I heard that the Korean teachers wrote the lesson plans for you, I thought "what? nice, very nice" -- but hey, you didn't fall apart when they weren't there today (or, is it yesterday right now, I'm confused). That, my dear, is the mark of a great teacher, the ability to improvise! All of the BC girls have been living vicariously through your mother's travels - now we'll really get the "feeling" of Korea through your experiences. Take care and know that I wish you all the BEST!

Ohhhhh, Erin....
I'm glad you made it through your first day of teaching, but you're right...if you can make it through the first day totally unprepared, then you're going to do a great job! I'm proud of you for being so brave over there! (trains and busses all by yourself....in the first week!!!!) You'll do great, even if your mom isn't there. It'll just take some getting used to. I miss you!

Hi Erin Reading you has been a pleasure! You're on a big adventure and it's great to hear about every step of it. Hope you'll find anything you and Dan need. If you have any question about your class, do not hesitate. Good luck on your first day at work and on your next discoveries... Auré
