Halloween! Halloween! HALLOWEEN! halloween. du du du du du du du du.

Annyeonghaseyo! Welcome!

Word got round that it was my birthday. It wasn't. I went with it anyway.

 

This post is coming to you from my school desk at lunch time. The writing of it is powered by leftover Halloween candy which SOMEHOW found it's way to my desk and from there into my mouth. Funny how things just happen sometimes...

Anyway, Halloween was fun and stressful. Being held hostage against a wall by a horde of children was interesting. Even after showing them I had no candy in my pockets they still felt the need to give me a pat down. I think that is the closest I have ever come to actually being mugged.

They weren't too impressed with my picture of a pumpkin vomiting into a toilet, either. I had to explain to them many times that it wasn't a pumpkin that was due to be eaten after it's trip to the loo. 

'TEACHER! DIRTY!'

And after a week of Halloween, I am thankful to say it is all over and I am back to regular curriculum. In class today, we have been doing a role play about a travelling band of musicians who just happen to be animals. The students' favourite character was the singing rooster. He was mine too.

The Korean Bucket List 2013/14

Hello,

I didn't do very well on my previous bucket list, so this year I am going to endeavour to do as many of them as possible. I had good intentions last year, but some I changed my mind about (temple stay), whereas others didn't come to fruition as the season passed (skiing). Others were just difficult (catch a dragonfly) or very strange to do as a planned activity (sleep in a pagoda).

So here is the new list for 2014. It includes things I missed last year, things I have added and things I have changed. Any suggestions might be added.

1. Visit the BK Plastic Surgery Museum.
2. Go skiing.
3. Do a baseball/soccer game 'The Korean Way'.
4. Visit the Seoul Museum of Chicken Art.
5. Win 3 games of Cart Rider in a row against a full set of competitors.
6. Order food for delivery and actually get exactly what I ordered to my door.
7. Meet a Korean celebrity.
8. Go to three different classes at least once.
9. Visit a drama filming location.
10. Go to one of Korea's film festivals.
11. Make kimchi!
12. Wear a 'Princess Leia head towel' in a sauna.
13. Fish through ice.
14. Get acupuncture.
15. Go to the Jindo Sea-Parting Festival.
16. Catch a dragonfly (without killing it in the process).
17. Go camping!
18. Cook a good (big) Korean meal and serve it for others!
19. Visit a hot spring.
20. Have a conversation with a Korean in Korean.

Entries that are confusing will be explained upon my completion of it.
