Trip down memory lane

I haven't had the luxury of finding time lately. I have been so swamped with work and getting over a slight cold bug that my thoughts have been precariously elsewhere. Let's examine where I have been the last few days.

Well to begin with there is always work but I don't want to discuss much about work happenings. I will mention a few factoids though before we continue... One, my wife and I co-taught together for the first time yesterday. We now officially both work at the same two schools-Anmin and YBM. I still hate the "head teacher" but its a job and just like a job its stressful and full of drama. I write about it too much so from now on I will only stick to essential happenings at work...  unfortunately though its a different drama each day.



I am trying to stick to aspects of Korean culture to report on so you can get a better sense of what its like living in Korea.

I have been busy mainly helping my wife prepare for her classes. We bought a scanner and now are making power points for her class.  As a result of her job I am now having to do a lot of chores around home which is ok but definitely keeps me busy.


I went out to Nampo-dong last night and had a few drinks and galbei with Dell. I learned that I will have 3 classes on Saturday with some possibilities that I may work in the morning as well. My morning classes at YBM were unfortunately not available but I will work 2 classes for Dell later this month. I had a great time with Dell we discussed past stories in college-you know the ones that start out like this " I was so stupid I nearly died blah blah blah the ones that you laugh about later when you are far away from the time you were in college.


Last night was great~ after eating and drinking I came home via subway it took almost an hour since it was the last ride. i unfortunately don't have much of a night life anymore but there's a different feeling waiting for the final subway rather than just an atypical afternoon ride. People are obviously tired but at the same time more alive.


There's a Korean phenomenon on the subway during business hours where people get on the subway and nod off and nearly fall on the person sitting next to them, its really annoying to me and as I told Dell if people put on the tie to go to work then they should be able to do the dance and not fall asleep. They must be over-worked if they are sleepy all the time. .

A trip down memory lane needs to happen more frequently. Today is a rest day Children's day like they really need another day if you ask me but I will post more later. I need some more rest and to eat a lunch with my wife shortly^^

I know this isn't really a great story or at least good conclusion but its throwing some thoughts out there a trip down into the passage of time...
