So the weekend after Chuseok in Busan I ended up going to a semi-professional soccer game with 2 of my students close by to my apartment on Saturday whcih was really cool. They are part of the Incheon Fan Club so we sat right behind the goal and participated in all their chants and flag waving which was pretty cool. Overall a great game! After that I headed up to Bupyeong to meet some friends and took the train into Seoul where there was a fireworks festival to celebrate Fall. It was 2 hours long and I have never seen more people in my life at one gathering. It was just a pure wave of people walking. Apparently different countries buy fireworks and then they will set them off. So we had fireworks that came from ... read more

Hello, everyone! I'd like to tell you what I did this week. This week, I hiked in Gyeongsan. Gyeongsan is a city. It is located in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Traveling is awesome! I traveled to Gyeongsan with the teachers from my school. We walked up many stairs. At the top of the mountain, we saw a big statue of Buddha. Here is a picture of the Buddha statue I saw. From the top of the mountain, I could see many things! The scenery was very beautiful. I like the view from the top of the mountain. Below is a picture of what I saw. After hiking, we ate lunch. We ate fried pumpkin. It was very sweet and delicious, too! I like Korean food very much. I am interested in learning about Korean culture. When we were hiking, ... read more

I woke up and got ready in less than 7 minutes. I walked to the bus stop and I got on the 840 bus. As I swiped my Daegu card, the machine said something in Korean. It was probably out of money. I knew it was 1100 ( $1.10) but I didn’t have any coins on me. Also it took a very long time to find money in my purse. So embarrassing because when you put money into the machine, it only dumps it when it has the exact change. The machine kept on making clicking noises. On top of that, because the bus was full, I was standing right next to the bus driver. I was surprised he didn’t say anything to me. Because I was all the way in the front, I was far ... read more

So it's been a couple of weeks since I wrote in this thing. The last month has flown by. So much has happened and changed. I've changed and things around me are becoming normal. About a week ago I started to feel like a daily grind was in place. I'm now sick of Korean food and I am craving cheese and familiar food like crazy! At first all the fish, kimchi and mystery meat for exciting and exotic but now lunches are 30 minutes that I'm constantly looking at the clock till I can get back to my desk to eat home brought snacks. The teachers have to eat the same lunch as the kids. I eat with Green and Red class and Tamara Teacher. (That's what the kids call us. Our first name and then ... read more
