6月6日 UpdateHey, it's been a couple of months since I've blogged. So here's a quick catch up session. I am very happy living in Daegu. It really was the best thing I could have done. I love the college and the students. I am always getting candy and flowers from the students. Yes, they are trying to buy an A from me, but that's ok. It's a polytech college, not Princeton. I have several private classes. It's really interesting getting an inside look at Korean homelife. I am enjoying that a lot and the money rocks. My roommate is great! She is a Korean English teacher. She's 33 years old and has been separated from her husband for a year. She was a Seventh Day Adventist for 7 years and plans on going back to the church someday. It's pretty amazing how much we have in common. I really could not have asked for a better roommate. She's one of the few Koreans that really enjoys eating a lot and will even eat western food with me. She likes my spaghetti (Actually it's just Prego, but she doesn't need to know that). We got locked out of our bathroom last night and at midnight went walking the streets in search of an open locksmith to help us. The great part about Korea is that at midnight, we were able find someone who came back home with us and picked the lock. Yes, he smelled of soju and it took him 30 minutes but hey, the cost was only $20! We laughed all the way there and back. Sue thought someone had come through the window and locked the door (OK, she does buy some pretty expensive shampoo, but come on now). The window is only about ten by ten inches and we are on the 4th floor. There are a lot of Shamanists here and Sue is very afraid of ghosts and evil spirits (She has no problem with violence though and loves "Fight Club"). She is a really unique person. In two weeks I'll be headed to California for 5 weeks. After that I will go to China, Tibet and Nepal for a month. I will start teaching here again in September. I really can't express the freedom I feel here. With so much time off, I can go and do as I please. Travel and new experiences are really what I've been missing. The more that I can experience, the more that I can understand around me. Hopefully, this will make me a more caring and knowledgable person. 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是: http://jcrumbly.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!AEA953EF84BE6C8E!336.trak 引用此项的网络日志
