Crazy Korean Times

10-11

Sorry for the massive delay on this. My life has been non-stop for awhile now. I have been attempting to get my computer fixed for 3 weeks now, but the fixing gods aren’t on my side. I still have to use the computer at work and that gets interrupted a lot.

Thailand was wonderful! I went with two girls from work; Krystin and Julie. We stayed at a cheap place right on the beach. We didn’t have AC, but it wasn’t too bad for Julie and me. Poor Krystin is from the north and just about melted. The food at the place was fabulous! The locals told us that it was the best place to eat on the island and I don’t think they were lying.

The first full day at the island we went on a kayaking/ snorkeling/ hiking tour. We spent the whole day on or near the water. One of the tour guides took me around in a kayak and showed me some really cool things. He was surprised by home much I actually knew about the ocean and coral. I can’t even tell you how wonderful it was!

We all got amazingly sun burnt the first day. I put sunscreen on four times and still managed to burn. I didn’t put any on my legs and they are still pealing after three weeks!

The next few days we did our separate things. Julie and I went on an elephant trek and I had no idea how big they actually were! It was neat getting to feed them bananas afterwards. That night I went to a lady boy show by myself and met up with someone I had met earlier that night. The show was one of the best drag shows I have ever seen and those girls are really pretty.

The last day I went to a spa to treat myself. I got to hang out outside in some pools and then had a two and a half hour massage. The other girls went off and did their own things. It was a great ending to a wonderful vacation.
This past weekend I went to Seoul with some of my friends. I met my friends outside of work and their names are Travis and Ben. They work at different schools, so it’s nice to hear about their experiences.

On Saturday we went to Global Gathering. Global Gathering is a huge dance music festival. It started at 2pm and went until 4am. We got there about 4pm and stayed until almost 2am. It was a fun day of dancing, drinking and meeting new people.

The next day we slept in a bit. Travis and I had a nice lunch and then five of us went to The Rocky Horror Picture Show! It was the theatrical version with an English speaking cast. I am so happy that I got to go! I have never seen the theatrical version and it was brilliant! After that we headed home and I slept like a rock.

I have a few minutes before I need to do some work so I’ll catch up on day to day stuff.

We had a teacher leave without telling anyone in advance. This has left us with all of her classes to cover. That means that we are all working more than we were and are super stressed. Not that we aren’t stressed anyway… Hopefully her replacement will come soon and all will be well.

My classes seem to be constantly changing, but I like all of my new classes so it’s not too bad. I really do enjoy talking with the kids and they are pretty sweet most of the time.

That’s all I really have time to write. I hope that it’s enough. I hope everyone is well and please give my love to everyone. I am a little home sick so feel free to send me some just because I love you stuff!
