Earthquake!!

So we had a small earthquake the other day. It was only 3.1 and lasted like 3 seconds. But it was really funny! Most of the Canadian teachers had never felt one before, and neither had some of the Korean teachers! But being a seasoned earthquake vet, I assured them that it was no biggie!

There is so much to talk about...One of my friends from Townsend happened to be traveling through SE Asia, so he hopped on over here to Korea and I had such a great time with him! His name is Alex, which was really funny when we hung out with Alexandra too! We finally started doing some sight-seeing, went to Seoul Tower, where they have a teddy bear museum!! I can't wait to go back and check it out (I love you bear!). We also went to Insadong, which is this amazing area that has a ton of street vendors and cute cafes. Alex and I got a delicious waffle with ice cream and fruit on it. Its all the rage here. It was delicious! On Monday, we all went to watch the Superbowl in Sinchon at Beer O'Clock. They were serving chili, so of course I had to check it out. Well, it was super packed and we got the last table in the house. After the Saints won, we decided that it was time to get out of there. So as we were walking to get a cab, we decided that we were all going to have just one more drink....(Alex, Alexandra, one of her teaching partners, and a Korean friend). Well, we went to this silly bar and proceeded to stay out till 4:30 a.m. on a week night. What a great idea. I met the bartender and he speaks perfect English and Spanish (he's Korean). So I was trying to practice my Spanish on him. He's married to a Mexican woman, but she's still in Mexico and they aren't going to see each other for another two years. Crazy, I know!

This weekend, Al and I are off to Tokyo and we couldn't be more excited! We're only going to be there for 48 hours, but I can already taste the fun! I really can't wait to see some temples and walk around the Harajuku area. I will start a picasa site to upload all of my pictures.

Well, that's enough for now....teaching is going well, but its report card time and I had 8 classes of 8-12 students each. I had to write at least 6 sentences for each, and they couldn't all be the same because the moms' call each other to compare. And we were instructed to write nothing negative!! So it was a task and a half!!
