If you want a cart, you're gonna have to pay for it!
Kevin's co-teacher drove us to the grocery store a couple nights ago to pick up some food for our apartment! Kevin went to pull a cart from the cart area and noticed it was stuck! He looked down and saw that he had to pay to use it! Yep, if you want a cart in Korea, you have to shell out the dough to get one! Granted it's only 200 WON, which is about 7 cents, but still!
My 1st day of school!
My first day of school was awesome! There was a welcoming celebration ceremony for the 1st graders to welcome them to Gamjung Elementary School.
In the middle of the ceremony, the speaker asked the kids if they wanted to come on stage to show a special talent! There were about 5 kids that did it. Here are pictures of 2.
This little boy sang a Korean song!
This little girl did a somersault!
Some of the 1st graders laughing during the ceremony! They are all so adorable!
The kids here are so curious about me, and always want to come talk to me! These kids were standing at my door staring and giggling at me while I worked on my first day. During my break a couple minutes ago, there were at least 30 kids crowded around my desk pointing to things and asking how to say them! They LOVE learning English! I am very lucky, because some of the EPIK teachers are saying that it's like pulling teeth trying to get their kids to learn English! :) YEAH for me!

Rolly Pop!
Kevin and I found this store and had to take a picture of the name. Koreans get their R's and L's mixed up all the time... This was a perfect example! :)
Dessert drinks!
Kevin and I went out to dinner last night and the server spoke English really well and said, “If you order this dish” and pointed to something on the menu, “you get a free dessert drink. You can chose from Coke, Sprite, or Orange Fanta!” So, be it that I love desserts, I ordered myself a dessert drink! “1 sprite please!”
Nampodong Market!
Nampodong market is awesome! You can get anything and everything here and it’s only 2 subway stops from our current apartment, not to mention it’s beautiful!
I bought this Chanel watch…
After work last night, Kevin and I went and had dinner here. We both rode the busses from our schools and met at the subway to ride together. We went to a beautiful and romantic restaurant and had gourmet Korean pizza and wine.
