things have been well for the old man and i. we have settled into our jobs pretty well. now, we are focused on the daily joys of classroom discipline. it's a delicate balance of letting kids be kids without letting them go so far as burning the building down. any tips?
we have been doing a lot of traveling around the south of the country on our long weekends. we went to the south west province, jeollanam do, several weeks ago and saw a bamboo forest and a green tea plantation. a few weekends ago, we went to a sea town, tong young. from there, we went to two small islands. the island that we slept on was like stepping back in time. there were no cabs and the buses stopped running at 4pm. it seemed as though people were fishing or hiking earlier in the day, and then they would start getting wasted at 2pm. so, we joined in the festivities by drinking soju and loitering on a dock. good times were had by all.
we spent a few separate weekends in busan. i really heart busan. there is a yummy turkish restaurant that i've been having dreams about. i will go broke shopping there. i kind of love young korean style. too bad i'm an old lady. dan k took us to a lotte giants baseball game in busan. it was pure fun. $7 gives you a general admission seat of your choosing. you can bring all the food and drink into the game that you'd like. i saw one woman take up 4 seats with her makeshift kitchen. i really love the weekends. sigh.
