Yellow dust is here. It's gross and it's everywhere. More info here.

Yellow dust is crap that gets blown over the sea by winds from China and Mongolia. It's gross. It turns the sky some hazy yellow colour and it's really bad to breathe in.

As luck would have it, there were really bad levels of the yellow dust on Saturday here in Korea and guess who ( Read more... )

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been really sick and today it's gotten worse again. I have to go out and get food, but I can't seem to make it off the bed. Hope you are all well. I'm going to try and catch up on my flist later! I haven't disappeared! :) *hugs*

Here are some pictures I took on Friday around school. We had a ball in the playroom and then later on in gym! I made a video of that, but it's rather long, so you'll have to wait until I've had time to do some editing! :)

Otherwise, things are going well. I went out on Friday night. We had some samgyeopsal . So delicious!! We also had a little bit ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here drinking my "Vital C" and listening to a Podcast about Seoul and teaching ESL thinking about what I should write today. My day was pretty good today. One of the preschool teachers were sick today, so there were two of us dealing with the 16 little bundles of joy. Terry (Mick Jagger kid) came to school with his hair in a pony ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here eating pizza and I'm trying to think of something interesting to write to you all. I have finished school for the day. \

Friday was pay day and to my surprise I actually go paid for the 7 or 8 days that I've worked rather than waiting for a full pay period. Who knew that I would be getting paid so much money. They didn't take any ( Read more... )

I thought I would share this excerpt from one of my 9 yr old student's journals. This is about what she did on the weekend! LOL I'm not sure what kind of dictionary she used for this... or what kind of English teacher she had before me!!

Hey all!

Well, I made it through my first week.

The school seems really great. Things were a bit chaotic last week because it was the start of a new semester here in Korea. I'm sure that once we get into a routine it will be much more ordered.

Last Wednesday evening all the teachers and Korean staff went out together for a farewell dinner for two ( Read more... )

So I made it!!! :)

I have internet in my room. Apparently it's free, so I'm not arguing! LOL
I made another short video for you all! Just my temporary home (until Monday or Tuesday) and the view from my window!! I'm going to go shower and then rest for a bit!! But I'll be online later!

So, I arrived in Tokyo last night and was EXHAUSTED. I slept the whole way there pretty much, but you can never really get a GOOD sleep on an airplane. I woke up on the bus to the hotel to see the giant ferris wheel that is on the way to Tokyo Disneyland. The thing is MASSIVE. It took about one hour to transfer from Narita Airport to this airport.
