Saturdays

            Each Saturday I wake up to a misty morning and a tranquil calm that has bequeathed Korea. I walk out of my house into the nice Spring dewy weather and make my way to the subway. I head to Nampo dong where I will later be engaging myself in the classroom with a few adults and later a handful of kids. There is no need to rush. I left my house at 8:15 and I won't begin until 10am. I have an hour to reflect on the week and try to get my bearing straight.

      I really love Saturdays its one of the few times where I can truly feel at ease with myself. This particular Saturday was no different. I enjoyed a cup of coffee and had time to even check my email and if I had one I would have been able to read the newspaper.


Things from my childhood that I really miss include reading Ann Landers, the comics, horoscope and of course the Sports Section. I never really cared about the other sections of the paper. I always wondered how my parents had time to really read so much news since my father came home around 5 and usually went to bed around 10.


Anyways thats looking back... I am now looking forward again....


Working at YBM has given me a true sense of belonging and confidence with my abilities that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. If it weren't for YBM I wouldn't be able to see good work here-that's not complaining but for me its a sad truth. I can't find satisfaction with my weekday job whatsoever. Its lost to me.



After working an easy 5 hours from 10am to 6pm I went out with Dell and my wife and had a few drinks over Samgyapsal.

The evening went by rather fast ending around 10pm and me and my wife coming home shortly after 11.

Why are Saturdays and Sundays for that matter so different and bearable compared to the go go society that awaits me in only 15 hours?
