Korean "penalties"

picture I don't remember what... 5 I forgot to post.
I went to Korean camp recently with my school. where I kid you not I played cards for 3 days. We stopped for lunch, dinner. We ate so much food, and played "7 bridge" aka "bridge" the rest of the time. So I have some pictures of what went on. IF you loose in Korea it involves being physically assaulted. I am not used to this method of "penalty" (as it is called) and my slow moving hand paid for it.


I also had my fortune told. Let me tell you about how my Lunar birthday determines my life. And how the time I was born (4:45pm) changed the whole scope of my fate. You should know that if you are having a child hold off until a good time ticks around...cus you will mess that life up. I have a "nice fate" according to the korean music teacher...I'm creative, I play music, and if I study again I will have success. When I was told this I merely nodded along. "sweet...this is fun," I thought. That is until I told her the time I was born.
She leaned back and sighed. Apparently... my "fate" isn't so nice after all.
 I will "have a hard time because I was born at the wrong time." I was told. I came to Korea because of the time I was born and thereby had a hard time. So lets do the math here.
4:45 pm + me =Korea=tough time. Well, glad that's sorted.

# 4 hedgehogs are dangerous. who knew?

So the kids have tests today= half day for Faith Teacher.  I went over to the Chinese teacher's apartment and had lunch...she has a hedgehog. 














The little man is pretty cute but super timid. Everytime she would touch it, it would start vibrating and curl into itself....Now you may think that a hedgehog is not that big of deal....but according my fellow teacher hedgehogs have a tendency to eat ...hamsters...what?! That's what I said. So she told me about her friend...
"my Chinese sister (older friend) had a hamster and a hedgehog. She came back after leaving one time. "
And?- me
"The hedgehog was eating the hamster."
This is horrifying. 
"Yes, My friend was very scared of her hedgehog, and so she made it diet."
"What?"-me
"Yes...now it is too small."
This seems like the opposite solution to a hungry pet....putting it on a diet??


So here is the little man...not the hamster eating one.

LOOKS DANGEROUS RIGHT???

HERE COMES number 3.

Today was a nice Sunday. spent it with Ina and Elaine. Watched The Avengers, and rested outside in a park. It was fabulous until Elaine decided to greet a dog nearby. As soon as Elaine was close enough the dog lept up and began barking loudly at her. It was hilarious....for me.

RUN ELAINE RUN!!!!

PICTURE #2

My friend Min. She's awesome! and so much fun. we had dinner and laughed over a certain Korean man and walked down by the water. It was super nice. I love that she showed me a new place that I had never even known Existed! woot! There was a rainbow bridge. cool huh?

PICTURE NUMBER 1

So here is my first picture. Man sleeping on the "monorail" (there was a debate if that was the correct word since there were 2 trains on said "monorail"). He was sighing and moving his upper lip. It kind of looked like an animal dreaming of chasing some kind of vermin. Sorry "monorail" man. sorry.

A cute cafe we were in today!!!!

So here I am on a new blog....after a year in k-town and being unable to access my previous blog. sorries! ^^ I'm gonna be posting a pic a day. Then you'll get a feel for my world and I don't have to write a book. Cause their is certainly material for a book and then some.

Today the kids have tests....so their isn't a lot for me to do in the office. In a little while I will be going with some fellow teachers to climb a moutain...or at least what K-town deems a moutain.
