Ouch!!!

This is hilarious! All of the teachers from my school went to the country this weekend for a teacher training. One of the male teachers got really drunk and ended up passing out on one of these electronic heating mats that had been turned up to the highest setting. (By the way, getting drunk at teacher outings is not only acceptable... It's encouraged!)  Talk about a culture difference...

FYI: You always lay something over these so they don't burn you... you don't just lay on them. In the morning, he woke up with a gigantic burn / blister on his calf, about the side of an adult hand! He's had to go to the hospital to receive burn treatments. This morning, he's limping around like a gimp, and everyone is making fun of him! That's what you get for getting drunk cool guy!

"Umm, Thank you."

I was just given this vegetable, or root maybe... by a co-worker. She said it's not a potato! What the heck is it?! It's huge!

Korean Church

The Che's invited me to their church last weekend for a special service. It was their church's 60th birthday, and an orchestra/choir performed famous hymns throughout the service. It was an interesting experience, as it was my first experience at an all Korean speaking church service. I had no idea what the pastor was saying, but I stood when everyone else stood, clapped when everyone else clapped, and laughed when everyone else laughed. I didn't want to seem out of place, you know?!


The choir sang 7 hymns. I knew most of them, not by their lyrics, since they were sung completely in Korea, but by their rythm. I loved it!
