So with a new card reader in tow, I've decided to post some pictures that, well, sum up my last three months here in Korea. I really have to start taking more pictures, but in the meantime ... Enjoy!
Have a headache? Wear a face mask! And this mask, isn't even the coolest one.
Korean Chilies are in literally every dish. No joke. But to make the infamous paste, you need to dry them in the sun first. Nevertheless, this is my street and my neighbors who are the cutest ajumas put our chilies every single morning like clockwork. Also, they're extremely spicy, so when you walk by the chilies drying, beware because you will spontaneously combust with crying.
Some of my 1st grade girls at Sangji. So cute. It took me 12 pictures to get them all to calm down into one shot together. Ah youth.
The first graders at Jejeong (my country school) aka the loves of my lives. They are the cutest, nicest, most amazing kids ever. Shall I go on? Nevertheless, they surprised me on my birthday (after knowing me only two weeks!) with cake and cookies, and drinks and learned to sing Happy Birthday in English for me! Anyway, I'm in love with them, and no one should be surprised if I get off the plane in the US with a smuggled Korean 13 year old.
My very first day at Sangji they made me a banner! How cute! Erik is the boy teaching at the high school on the same campus. The banner, sadly, only stayed up for a week and I didn't get to keep it after it went down.
Dreaded soju. Koreans drink it like water, but trust me, water doesn't give you a hangover liek this. Its fairly repulsive and basically the Korean national drink. Though, it does mix well with soda and fruit-flavored soju tastes like a kiddie drink, but beware - you won't be able to get out of bed the next morning. As my 45-year old coteacher once said,
KT: I'm not feeling too well
Me: What's wrong Mr. Park?
KT: Too much soju, I'm never drinking it again. Lets just watch a movie in class today. I gotta sit down
