It has been an interesting first week at school. Can you tell what we were learning about this week? That’s right kids, mug shots! Last week’s field trip to Everland, the Korean equivalent to Disney World, was cancelled due to the fact that nobody wanted to walk around an amusement park in 10 degree weather.… Continue reading American City Village
Hello Everyone! Just in case you were wondering why there hasn’t been any updates, it’s because our internet is down at home. Not sure what is wrong. I’m at work (supposed to be training) so no new pics. Melanie is feeling better and has started work. Hmm, this writing in the blog is not as… Continue reading Our Internet Is Down!
I woke up feeling like crap… Runny nose, stuffy head, sore throat and it was my first day of school – yuck! I had to be at work at 1:30 even though my schedule said my first class wasn’t until 2:30 but I figured oh well, John must have something for me to do. He… Continue reading First day of school…
Well it’s been a busy couple of days around here so a slow Sunday night is very welcome. School on Thursday went well, the kids loved the fruit. I brought a few pieces to shake things up a bit. The orange puppets were a big hit. I taught two 20-minute classes of 34 seven-year olds.… Continue reading 10 Man March…
I finished the Amy Butler In Stitches Bedside Organizer. I am happy with the way it came out although I had a heckofa time with the last step – pleating the magazine pocket.

The tune is kind of a cross between an old Gameboy game and a funky synthesizer ditty my brother’s old Casio keyboard used to play. The Hauzen was a bargaining chip used in… Continue reading My daily dose of cultural musing…
I am so overwhelmed by the wonderful comments and compliments from all of you on our blog. I have been trying to keep up with it and usually do save for a few days here and there. It may be a little harder when I actually start work, which is another story in itself, but… Continue reading A no frills kind of town…
I thought I was doing so well with my adjustment to sleeping during what my body believes to be day and staying awake at night. Jet lag, I thought, not me. Yeah, well, think again! I can’t sleep at night and my Ambien prescription is slowly diminishing. I am wide awake at what is midnight… Continue reading Laziness and not much sleep…
Fried egg and swiss on a toasted onion bagel with a steaming cup of Chai latte. Oreos and milk are the same no matter where you go. There is nothing like having your comfort foods when you are halfway around the world. The walls and counter of this kitchen remind me of a stark hospital… Continue reading Morning and night…
It’s been a few days since my last blog and a lot has happened since Friday. Friday morning: Joe and I were back and forth between housing, Miss Sue and our new apt. at Dong Bu. After a lot of paperwork and a half dozen cab rides back and forth from Dong Bu to the… Continue reading Sunday night…
