Twilight

Last Saturday, I went hiking in Amnam Park with 4 other English teachers (Susan, Patrick, Aaron, and another girl - not sure what her name was). While we were on the hike, I climbed this huge tree overlooking the ocean and Aaron snapped this picture. He's a photoshop feind... and just sent me his final product! Kinda creepy huh?! It reminds me of the scene in Twilight where they're flying in the trees...

Too Much Pressure...

This morning, during tea time, the teachers were talking about 2 junior high girls who climbed to the 25th floor of their apartment in Hadan (3 subway stops from my apartment) 2 days ago and jumped to their death together... all because they did not achieve the test scores their families expected from them. It's a tragedy, the pressure that Korean students experience with education in this country. Test scores should never be the reason to end life... I am sick over this.
