Off Limits!

I love ALL of my kids, and spending time with them outside of class, but when you see this puppet in your face while you're trying to lesson plan or reply to e-mails all day long...


... you would do this too!!! This is my new invention - the "closed" sign! This is the entrance to my little cubby of an office! The kids love to hang over my shoulder all day long while I'm sitting at my desk... but not any more! I'm setting boundaries before I go crazy!! We'll see if it works!

Ummm... I have black hair!

This, my friends, is what happens when you dye your hair at home with Korean box dye - Your hair turns black! Lucky for me, I'm in Korea, and the darker my hair gets, paired with the lighter my skin is = the more beautiful I look to my co-workers and students! I think it's hideous, but the compliments keep coming, so I can't complain! I personally feel a bit more artsy, like I should be hanging out at museums after work, or going to Emo shows on the weekends!

Shaving Cream Sale on Isle 4!

I've blogged before about how instead of slashing prices on items at the grocery store, Koreans just simply tape another item to it and call it a sale! In the past I've bought boxes of cereal that had sandwich bags taped to the top of them, and an entire package of meat taped to another package of meat!

Today though, was maybe the most random of all sales! I went to buy this shaving cream at the local "Family Mart." When I got to the counter, the clerk (a young girl in her early 20's) looked at the can for a good 30 seconds and then looked up at me and mustered the sentence "We give Pringles." Yes, folks, the shaving cream was "on special." Buy 1 can of shaving cream, get 1 can of Pringles FREE! How random is that?!
