So you know how I said I was going to do video post from now on? Well, right now my built in webcam is being a witch w/a capital B so scratch that for now until I figure out what the heck is going on. Anyway, back to the topic of me living in ROK :-) Last week Saturday my job had a dinner for everyone at this nice Chinese restaurant. It was pretty good about 7 courses I'll post some pics of the food. Great meal, especially for free lol The branch manager decided to do this because we reached our enrollment goal. Afterwards most of us went out for a night on the town and we hung out with the Korean staff from work...They're so much fun lol I love them.
This past week at work has been....interesting lol I've been tired the whole week and for some reason all the kids were deciding to test my patience this week. Oh man my head instructor is like reviewing my tapes, they record all classrooms, I'm so nervous. We're meeting to talk about it on Monday. It's not like I think I'm a bad teacher but I don't know I just don't like to know someone's watching me ya know? lol Not only watching me but like doing a critical analysis...it's nerve racking.
So today is currently Saturday and St. Patrick's Day!!! Happy St. Patty's Day!!! I'm having a party at my apartment and I writing this as I'm waiting for people to show up lol I'm really excited to have people over we're cooking and I made Sangria last night, which I know isn't Irish but at least I made green :-p My friend is bringing her waffle maker and we snacks and maybe we'll go out for BBQ as well if we're all still hungry lol
Also, about last week, when out with friends last week Friday I met a guy who wanted to learn more English, he's a university student here. I'm meeting with him tomorrow for coffee and language exchange since I really want to learn Korean. Then later in the week I might get to see the guy I made friends with on the plane, he said he might have to come to Daejeon so we're going to meet up when I get off of work if he does. Just to clarify neither of these things are dates....at least I don't think they are...
Actually, that reminds about something; dating culture here is a bit odd. I don't quite understand how it works, but I see A LOT of couple stuff. I wish I had some pics to show you guys, but they have couple outfits for hiking, working out, everyday wear, and underwear....yes I said underwear....it's a bit strange, I don't wanna look like someone I'm dating lol I don't know just seems pretty corny
Speaking of strange, no one really wears chapstick here. My kids will come to class and they're lips look all dry and crusty...now the reason this is strange is because this place is all about appearance. They love to be attractive, I have yet to see a Korean in public wearing frumpy clothes. I mean back home you see it all the time, but here not at all. Not even other foreigners, I think it's because you don't want to stand out lol I mean I don't so I make sure I look decent before I leave the house. So, knowing that...what's up with the dry cracked lips? I know they sell chapstick here, I've seen it!
Ok I need to go people will be here soon, sorry for the choppiness and randomness of this entry lol as I said before typing it as I'm waiting for people so wanted to do it quickly before they get here. I hope everyone has a good St. Patrick's Day!!! O pics from the Dinner party below!
