Bloody snow

I no longer have patience for snow.  That is not as of now, but rather of last year.  Anyway I woke up to the sight of snow yesterday morning...well when I say woke up to it I mean it was snowing when I awoke, but I did not discover this fact until I left my apartment since there is no window in the direct vicinity of my bedroom.

Anyway, it was not a welcome sight, as pretty as it can be it is generally just a pain in the ass.  So I made it into work, I was on time.  The fella I see every morning, the caretaker I presume was there and he said many a thing to me in Korean, but gave up after a while and sent me on my way.  It got to the start of the school day and there was no-one in school more or less, so I went downstairs and found the only other person and she communicated to me that I must stay in school, even though the kids had been sent home.  I was not a happy chappy, the snow was still falling and there was no one else here, none of the teachers had come in either.  But by ten I was told I could leave, fairly unceremoniously too "go home".

After I waited around for the buses to turn up and yes two did come at once, I went home, I was tempted to just melt into a lazy slob, but instead at the last minute I decided to go to a restaurant.  I went to a local one that I know of.  They saw me coming and knew it would be another ordeal, but they were smiles and welcomes.  They showed me to one of the eating rooms and sat me down, then they shuffled off and one returned with some water and a Korean to English book and I pulled out my English to Korean book and we went about trying to decide what I would have.  I can tell you it took almost 10 minutes of random words, before I settled on Bulgogi.

I've had it from there before, it's good and of course the random side dishes showed up.  There were some red nuts, kimichi, whole anchovies, an egg dish, a whole fish (head and tail and all) and rice.  It was all generally very nice, I do not care for Kimchi however, that is a foul creation.

After that i proceeded to return home and collapse.  There lies the end of that day.

Today has been a lot of nothing too.  I have been at work all day this time, but we finished the curriculum last week so instead it has been games and letters.  Not too bad and still English related, but a bit boring as far as a teacher is concerned.

Ah well, not long till I wander off to NZ.
