Ok, I’ve still got recycling on the brain. This whole issue really has me perplexed. A trip to the dumpster the other day informed me of my rights and duties as a trash-dumping resident of Dong Bu Apts. There is a sign posted in English, for those of us Americans who live here and like… Continue reading Beating a dead horse…
My new favorite shoes – bought for 9,800 Won or $10 USD in Seoul last weekend, aren’t they the cutest? They are so comfy too and I’ve never had yellow shoes – it must be spring! A little note I wrote late last night to hide in hubby’s backpack before he left this morning. Kelli,… Continue reading Feeling better and a productive weekend – Pic Heavy!
Recycling is a big deal in Korea. Koreans recycle everything and stores have to charge you for plastic shopping bags. In 2002, the rate of recycling exceeded the rate of landfilling, that’s amazing considering the population density here. Every Saturday morning from 8 to 10 AM all the tenants in Dong Bu apartments gather in… Continue reading Recycling…
We rescued our camera from Joe’s dorm at Humphreys this week (where we accidentally left it before heading to Seoul last weekend). So here are some pictures from the past few weeks. The Aukyung Mall in Suwon is a large mall/movie theater complex above the Suwon train station. Suwon is a college town located about… Continue reading Finally got the camera back…
Short post tonight, I’ve been feeling a little down the past few days. It’s a combination of PMS, Joe leaving for a week tomorrow, stress about quitting my job and feeling lonely here in Korea. I know I have a lot of things to be happy and grateful for but I’m just having a few… Continue reading In a funk…
We encounter daily cultural adventures when dining out and cooking in Korea. On Tuesday night we decided to try our luck at a new neighborhood restaurant so we went to one that is frequented by many Koreans and therefore, we thought, must be great, right? Large fish tanks outside should have given us an idea… Continue reading Culinary adventures in Korea
* We left our camera at Camp Humprheys over the weekend so pics will follow in a later post.* We had off this past Friday in preparation for the Lunar New Year or Seollal as the Koreans call it. So on Friday Ally and I went to Suwon to do some shopping and walking around. … Continue reading Seollal in Seoul
So since I live in Korea, where girls have the bodies of 13 year old boys, I find it terribly hard to shop. Joe and I just returned from our Valentine’s weekend in Seoul. I had planned on doing a lot of shopping since I haven’t really done any since we got here a month… Continue reading Living in the land of little people…
Just a quick post tonight, I have to do laundry and pack for our trip to Seoul this weekend. I hope to go to the fabric market at Damdaemun Market, I’ll post on Tuesday if I find anything good. A package for my cousin who goes ga-ga over anything polka dotty. They love their polka… Continue reading Quick Crafts Version 2.0
I played a game with my students today that I found on Dave’s ESL Cafe. The website has a wealth of information, and among other things, I like the extensive list of ESL games. I brought in 10 brown paper lunch bags each filled with a simple item (golf ball, toothpaste, pen, coin, candy, battery,… Continue reading A lion, a tiger, a pen, oh my!
