Take me out to the ballgame!


A few foreigners and I met up in Gwangju to take in a baseball game at the local stadium. It was cool to see how enthusiastic the crowd was. Even though it rained we enjoyed every pitch and homeroom. I think the Kia Tigers won, not really sure. I cheered every time a foreigner came up to bat regardless of the team. 
Go waygooksi!

Take me out to the ballgame!











Peppero Day 11/11


Today is November 11th. 11/11. Peppero day in South Korea.
That is the day that our students eat (and share) these delicious chocolate sticks. Last year I only received one box and a few individual sticks. But THIS YEAR...!! 

Woooohooooo!!!  I received 8 boxes from my kiddies!! Happy dance!!






The key to my heart...


Ok, so as you know, my school does not trust me with a key to the computer room, where my small office is. I guess they are worried, I will break into the school in the middle of the night and slowly drag all the school's computers back to my 2 room apartment, where they will NEVER find them.  So I carry my own personal "key" to enter the computer room everyday.

This is the "key" that I use to open the computer room every day.


This is the key that a homeroom teacher left inside the lock of the computer room for several hours. 


This is the “key” I continue to use every morning to enter the computer room.


ANY QUESTIONS?

Jeju-do!!! Amazingly BEAUTIFUL!


July 2015

I took my summer vacation this year with a tour group headed to Jeju-do. Jeju-do, for those who do NOT know, is the "hawaii of South Korea".
I have never been to Hawaii but Jeju-do made me fall in love with it.
The clear blue water, the gorgeous weather, the beauty of the sandy beaches, all were seductive and eager to please.

Look at these beautiful pictures of my first vacation to Jeju-do. It is amazingly
GORGEOUS!


WOW

I found two guys taller than me in So Ko!! These are Kenyan dancers performing at the Jinju Lantern Festival. 

We were happy to see each other! Ah-pree-kah!

I went to the Jinju Lantern festival this past weekend. It was sooooo beautiful! The floats were extremely colorful and the fireworks were cool.
