Lost in translation #2

The Vice Principal told me he thought it was going to rain today and asked me if I had an umbrella. I said "No, I forgot mine today." He said, "I borrow you." Trying my best not to laugh or embarrass him, I just simply answered, "Yes, you borrow me. Thank you!"

A picture to prove it!

This whole signature thing is getting a little out of hand. Now, if they don't have paper, they ask me to sign their hands! What will be next?!

Mmmm, Lunch time!

My school is very small compared to most schools in Korea, so it doesn't have it's own kitchen or cafeteria. With that, comes some interesting things, ie: All of the food is shipped in, on metal carts, from another school down the street... the students eat lunch in their classrooms with their teachers... and the teachers all eat together in the teachers lounge. NO ONE ever brings their own lunch from home. So, whatever the school provides is what you have to eat for the day!

This is the food table in the teachers lounge. We always have rice, some sort of soup, 2 side dishes, and a meat. (although, today the meat was baby Octopus! mmmm)


I asked one of the teachers what this strange looking dish was for? She said that everyday, they scoop a little bit of each food into these bowls incase someone gets sick. Then they can test it. hhhmmmm... So, if I die from something I ate, call the school first!


This was my lunch today! Yuummmmmy. Rice and bean sprouts, with dumpling and egg soup and octopus in red sauce!

Pictures

These are a few pictures that my students took with my camera this morning!

This is one of my favorite girls. She has such a sweet and gentle personality and is always hanging out in my office between classes, wanting to learn English.


The boy on the right is my favorite! I see him EVERYWHERE I go and he always walks by my office and peaks his head through the window and says, "Good morning Alegsi!
