Stuff

This week has been a fairly average week.  However I find there are generally things worth talking about in Korea, even though as a whole I have a boring life.  On Wednesday we had a meal to welcome the newest member of staff.  The main administrator of the school had left at the end of last week, which meant that one of the people I have been incapable of having a conversation with all year would be leaving.  However she would also be taking her rather cute two boys in the kindergarten.  So as normal I was not clued into whatever would be occuring in would be occurring.  Normally that would mean that we would be going to a resteraunt for a billion years and I would have to go and would not be able to leave until I had drunk far too much and been forced to do norebang.  However this week it was a suprising and welcoming change.  We had a meal at the caferteria, with food that had been brought in from the outside: Watermelon, sweet and sour pork and chicken.  Really good food and I did not have to loose my entire day to have it.

Thursday was not too bad, not good, but certainly much better than last week though.  I was actually given a chance to do some of the teaching and of course I was completely relied upon to provide games for the lesson which I had been given no time to prefer...great...

Friday was going pretty normally up until later in the afternoon.  When I got a phone call from my co-teacher/supervisor.  She was calling from a local school that I would be teaching the summer camp from in about 2 weeks time.  Apparently I needed to be at the school to talk about the camp and make some plans, however I was not. Therefore she would have to return to the school to pick me up, she should have told me before and brought me along, but she had not read the instructions properly.  Anyway I am used to that sort of thing, but on the way over to the school she backed into another car.  Great Korean driving to see in person...  Okay the rest of the meeting was fine and so brings me to the end of the working week.

On Saturday I went into Busan as usual, nothing special happened there, but it did rain all day and it was super heavy.  Possibly the heaviest I have experienced in here in Korea.  So as you can imagine we got fairly wet and spent our time dodging in and out of shops.

Finally here on Sunday, I decided to make some bread.  It went well, I was able to find some yeast at the Homeplus in Busan so it was a resounding success rather than the catastrophic failure I have come across when trying to make cakes with the available ingredients here in Korea.

Well, that's it I guess.  I always experience the weird stuff of course, but that's seeping into my brain turning it into standard reality and so I fail to report on it quite as often.  For instance the noises you can hear when out and about. The hacking noises people make as the hock up flem and spit it out (something that happens overly much), a man who sneezes in a similar manner that a Turkey 'talks' and a fella in one of the toilets sounded like he was trying very ahrd to produce a baby.

Night all.
