Monica wears TOMS!

You couldn't imagine the surprise on my face when I noticed that my new Korean co-teacher, Monica, was wearing TOMS yesterday!

I knew she was awesome, but now I REALLY know she's awesome!  When I asked her where she found them (since they're impossible to find in Korea), she said "Oh, I bought them online at the TOM'S website. My daughter told me that if I bought a pair, the company would give a pair to someone who needs shoes, so I bought some!"

English Tea and Coffee

It's not what you think!  This post is NOT about English Tea, but it is about speaking English while drinking tea and coffee!  Yay!  Tonight, I went to a darling coffee shop in Nampodong with two of my single co-workers (the married one's always have to run home to their kids and husbands and start cooking dinner).  The best part about it was the fact that we spoke English THE ENTIRE TIME, and not the baby beginner English, the grown up - American style English!  Ahhh, what a wonderful treat that was!  

These two are some of the sweetest Christian women, and the most fluent English speakers I've met in Korea!  Can you believe I'm lucky enough to get to see them everyday at work?!  Such an answer to prayer!   Hyun Jung (math teacher), Me, and Okk (one of my English co-teachers)!
