Do you think your answer is accurate? Well, according to The International Statistical Institute, Cambodia is, in fact, a developing country. Can't argue with hard facts, right?</div>

A quick history lesson before I tell you of my humbling experience...<br />
<br />
During the 1960's, Cambodia's population was over 7 million. During this period of time where Buddhism was most prevalent, the leader of Cambodia was Prince Sihanouk. In 1970, things started to change. Sihanouk jumped ship and joined forces with the Khmer Rouge, a communist organization led primarily by Pohl Pot. Attacking Lon Nol, lieutenant-general and Cambodia's army, war began. Side note: Cambodia, at the time, was also caught up in their neighboring country's war, Vietnam. Because Cambodia had relations with both Vietnam and the US, Pohl Pot's suspicions grew with Vietnam and continued to strengthen his group. Apparently, by 1975, Khmer Rouge grew to over 700,000 followers. Pohl Pot took over Lan Nol's army completely. At this time, Khmer Rouge had a specific mission: to reconstruct Cambodia. They only wanted the population to be labor workers and based their goal on agriculture. Anyone that did not support this view was tortured and killed. All educated intellectuals were to be eliminated as well as others that had an anti-communist position. To wrap up this history lesson, Khmer Rouge had killed over 2 million people - men, women, and even children in the most disturbing ways (pictures shown later). <br />
<br />
Now, let me give you a glimpse of my humbling experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In my first three days, there was no air conditioning, a mosquito net encompassed the padding on the floor I slept on, and at times, there was no running water. In fact, during a shower one morning, the water stopped. The water source was empty. I stood there, naked, suds in my hair, with no idea what to do. A worker of the hostel came to try to fix the water system but failed. Therefore, I had to continue my shower by "bath" which was the water used to "flush" the toilet. This bucket of water with mosquitoes swarming around it sat next to an in-ground (squatting) toilet. I used a scoop to splash my body and rinse my hair. Although you may not realize, in comparison to what Cambodian families endure on a daily basis, I was <i>still </i>living in better conditions than many Cambodians.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I feel like I could never properly express my experience. Pictures would never do it justice. But my hope in this is to show my family and friends how amazing this country is and how different it is from the life we live.<br />
<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Where to start...<br />
<br />
I traveled with a friend of mine that I had met in Korea a little over a year ago. Her name is Stefanie Hale and she's definitely Canadian. She says "Eh" a lot and by the end of our trip, I was saying it too! It was the end of her teaching contract and she had decided to travel Asia before returning home. I had posted on Facebook about wanting a travel buddy for my vacation since I wasn't 100% comfortable traveling alone (in addition to family members being worried x100). Steph was all for having me join on her adventure so within three days of talking, my flight to Cambodia was booked. I had three days left to decide what I was going to do. Literally, I searched every country that would be "kind of" on the way back to Seoul. The cheapest flight, Singapore. Not only was the ticket affordable, I knew I'd be safe traveling there alone. Side note: What I didn't spend on the ticket, I made up spending while being there. EEk!! The vacation was planned that easily. 6 days in Cambodia, 3 days in Singapore.<br />
<br />
I arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia one day before Stef. The flight wasn't bad, the food however was. My hostel had arranged a tuk-tuk (took-took) to come pick me up. The airport was very small and a storm was rolling in which made the sky beautiful as the sun was setting. After getting through security, I had to get a tourist visa. It was a little bit more expensive than getting it through the Embassy before traveling, however it was quick and easy. Stepping outside, the tuk-tuk driver was standing there holding a sign with my name on it. I won't lie. I had nervous, worried butterflies in my stomach when we reached the tuk-tuk. Immediately, I looked for identification. If anything were to happen, I would know the license plate number of the tuk-tuk and his working identification number. I've watched the movies "Taken" and "Taken2." Getting to the hostel took about 20 minutes. At this point it was dark therefore I didn't get to see much. Checking in was easy and painless. And I have already explained my living situation for these three days. After getting settled, I went to Pub Street which is very famous. It was nice to sit there, not having to talk, but just enjoy people watching and a 50 cent beer. Yes, that's right! Beer was CHEAP! It was early to bed for me.<br />
<br />
The next day, I met two girls staying at my hostel. They were there because they wanted to backpack around Asia. It was nice because I was able to walk around the town with them and spend the day with them before Stef's arrival. The three of us found a lunch place to enjoy a Cambodian meal. Because it was hot and none of us had adjusted to the weather, we decided to lay low on Pub Street. We got massages for $3 which came with a beer as well. The workers were Cambodian teenagers. After school, they go to the hot spots, working for a little shop, advertising massages, manicures, and pedicures. They are all really sweet and love speaking English (as much as they know). It was a great way to kill time.<br />
<br />
Stef arrived around 7pm, got her settled, then went to dinner with the girls I had hung out with during the day. The four of us had a lot of fun! We took pictures with restaurant workers, locals, and together too. You'll see these below.<br />
<br />
Our last two days in Siem Reap included going to Angkor Wat where we saw different temples (Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon...), going to the Night Market, and experiencing different kinds of food. My pictures won't do the temples justice but it was an unforgettable experience. I'm so thankful to have gone and observed this famous part of Cambodia's history and land. Oh, and don't worry, I got to hang out with my favorite little primates too!<br />
<br />
Stef and I were looking forward to our bus ride because we knew it would be air-conditioned. The ride south to Phnom Pehn was about 5-6 hours. We made two stops along the way for a bathroom and snack break. Toilets there...well, we will just not talk about that. Anyway, arriving there was easy as well. Our hostel had our tuk-tuk driver there waiting for us. He was such a nice man. If I remember right, Andy (our tuk-tuk driver) is around 30 years old with a wife and kids. We were happy to have him drive us around each day in Phnom Pehn in order to help him make money for his family.<br />
<br />
Our time in Phnom Pehn included seeing the Killing Fields (this is where thousands of people including men, women, and children were thrown into mass graves), Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (this is where a school was made into a torturing and prison site), and relaxing by the pool at our hostel. There is a lot of information about the historical sites we visited that if I wrote it, this post would be a longer novel than it already is. I'll let the pictures do the talking as I usually do.<br />
<br />
After my time in Phnom Pehn, I said my Goodbyes to Stef as it was the last time I'd see her until I visit her in Canada or she visits me in the states. I boarded my flight and headed to Singapore.<br />
<br />
Arriving in Singapore was a complete 180 from my experience in Cambodia. When I got off the plane, I was amazed at the size of the aiport and how clean, amazing it was. There were coffee shops, souvenir shops, restaurants...galore! Being familiar with public transportation due to my Korea living, it was easy to make my way to the subway and buy a ticket. Finding my hostel was a bit difficult because of the construction that was happening along the main roads, but eventually I found myself in Little India. This area is full of Indian products, people, and restaurants. My hostel was nice. The worst part was that the air conditioners had set times when they could be on. I made sure I was up and about, ready to leave my hostel by 11 every day as the a/c was automatically turned off at 9am. And I didn't return to my hostel until about 7pm because that's when they could be turned back on.<br />
<br />
My first night out in Singapore, I explored an area called Clarke Quay. I don't know what I was thinking. All the restaurants and bars in the area were ridiculously expensive and overpriced. It was interesting to walk around the area - everyone is actually really rich or they're good at dressing the part. I felt out of place in my "nice" traveling outfit and flip-flops. But I dared to be seen anyway. There was a drum line playing on the bridge which was amazing! I have pictures you'll see below. They were very entertaining and received a lot of attention. I made my way to an outside bar to order a beer (thinking it would be the easiest on my pocket). Guess how much it was?! Really...guess...$16!! Yes, 16 AMERICAN dollars. It was ridiculous. You better believe I savored it! While standing there, alone, drinking my over-priced beer, a girl across from me was also sitting alone. We smiled at each other and I asked if she was alone. She was, therefore, I went and joined her. We instantly got along. She was there on business because she works for an insurance company. The owner of the bar/club saw us and said if we wanted to, we could go check the inside out for free. Considering it was $30 admission, we took the offer. She bought us a round of drinks, as she said she would never use her daily allowance for food/drinks. Afterwards, we were hungry so we made our way to an outside taco stand (as you can see, us trying to keep it cheap). There, we met some people who are part of a news show or filming company, I can't remember the specifics. They challenged me to a spicy taco, thinking I couldn't handle it. I did, so they took care of my check! At the end of the night, they were so kind, they called their limousine taxi service and paid my way home. Unexpected and amazing!!<br />
<br />
The next day, I slept in and decided to walk around Little India. Then afterwards, I made my way to the Singapore Flyer. It was AMAZING! Not so much fun going alone...as you have to ask people to take your picture for you...and everyone else is there with a loved one or family. The Singapore Flyer is "the thing to do" on a date in Singapore. I paid too much money for a photo, but, I felt I had to. Next, I headed back to my area. It was very uneventful until I met a nice married couple while walking back to my hostel. I sat with them and showed them how to play rummy. Afterwards, I showered then went back to Clarke Quay for dinner. I went to an Irish Pub for a beer and hot wings...simple and easy...still expensive! When I made my way back to my hostel, there were some people hanging out in the main area. I sat and talked with them. They were really nice and invited me to go along with them to the Singapore Zoo the next day. It was my last day and I wanted it to be adventurous, therefore, that's what I did.<br />
<br />
The Singapore Zoo was very big. The five of us thought it'd take maybe 4 hours. Nope. We were literally there ALL DAY! You'll see pictures soon. Nina has them on her camera as mine died. We are still in the process of trying to share photos in the easiest way possible. We all come from different countries - Germany, Netherlands, Australia, States...<br />
After the Zoo, we were all exhausted BUT...we knew we had to make one more stop before I had to get back to the hostel to pack for my flight that night. We went to the famous shopping area called "ION Orchard." Literally, it has everything...and we definitely made a dent in our pockets. The deals were AMAZING! I bought 4 pairs of shoes for $40. We all bought "friendship" bracelets. As the four of us girls shopped, Ben hung out in a coffee shop, waiting patiently. Time was ticking so we hurried back to our area to get some Indian food before I had to leave.<br />
Saying Goodbye was bittersweet. I was ready to be home in my bed, however, I felt I was just getting in the groove of "backpacking" and making friends while traveling solo.<br />
<br />
My journey home was no picnic. Arriving at Singapore airport at 12am, I was given quite the surprise. Because my layover in China was going to be longer than an accepted window, I was told I needed a Chinese visa. While booking my flights, I was not given this alert like usual. Therefore, I had to get on the phone with Expedia to attempt a flight change. While being put on hold for quite some time, all I could think about was the fact that I didn't get "change flight" protection, therefore I immediately had the assumption that I'd be charged my ticket, plus a new ticket...costing over $1,000. When I explained to customer service my situation, he got his supervisor on the line right away. The supervisor was so kind and very helpful. He said this was something that was not my fault (let's be honest, I should have done more research). Quickly, he looked up new flights and was able to change my itinerary with no charge. In fact, I would have received a refund but he said since I didn't have the protection, I have to forfeit it. Ha. No problem! The refund was $5. The only downside to the flight change was that the flight wasn't going to be for 17 hours. Due to the fact that the subway system was closed, my only option was to sleep there, in the airport, all night. I attempted to get comfortable on benches but I was too paranoid of falling asleep and my bags getting stolen. The next day, before going through security for my flight, I found a shopping area in the airport (let me remind you that this airport is extravagant). People actually go to the airport to "hang out." There's coffee shops, shopping, restaurants, and the list goes on. I couldn't believe it and wished I saw it earlier. But anyway, I enjoyed some last minute shopping to say the least.<br />
<br />
Arriving in China was terrible. I was hot, tired, in need of a shower, and a bed. The airport in this city (I won't even attempt to spell) was terrible. There was no wi-fi which meant I couldn't let people know I was safe. And there were no 24-places to kill time (my layover was 13 hours). In the end, I was suckered into getting a hotel that cost $30 for one night. I didn't care at this point. Shower, bed, wi-fi. Check, check, check! And free transport service. DONE! After taking a shower and texting the family, I was able to lay down and watch t.v. for a bit. I didn't sleep well in fear of not waking up in time, but at least I was able to rest my body and eyes. The rest of the trip home was smooth sailing thankfully.<br />
<br />
To sum it all up, Cambodia was an eye-opening experience for me. Singapore was expensive but enjoyable. It was liberating to travel alone without any help. I learned more about myself that I would not have learned if it wasn't for doing this. I was just as thankful for this trip as all the other trips to different countries I have had. I will say this one will always hold an extra special space in my mind and heart. When you see what I've seen, you realize how lucky you are (Cambodia), but also how average you are (Singapore) at the same time. I wouldn't have it any other way.<br />
<br />
Pictures to be posted soon. I apologize again for the EXTREME tardiness. </div>

<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS FROM EMILY:</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><b>If you could have breakfast anywhere, where would it be and what would you have?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Honestly, two weekends ago, I had the most amazing breakfast on cafe street in Jeongja (area in Seoul, South Korea) at a restaurant called Stonewall! It is a bit expensive, but definitely worth it. I would order again - the breakfast that includes: eggs, German sausage, homemade style potatoes, and salad</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">. It also came with pancakes, but due to my gluten issue, I passed those off to my friend, George. The breakfast was the perfect amount and the taste was amazing! (highly recommended if you're living in Seoul) </span></span></div>
</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><b>What is your favourite lip balm?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Hands down, my favorite lip balm is made by Arbonne. It never lets me down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">What did you do last weekend?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;">Last weekend consisted of playing flag football on Saturday, followed by a delicious "seafood in a bag" dinner located in Itaewon (area in Seoul, South Korea) with some new friends. On Sunday, I went to a clothing swap (genius idea), a BBQ dinner with exchange students I met at the swap, and ended my evening spent with my Korean friend/co-worker, Natalie, and her boyfriend. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">What is your best fashion buy?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;">This is literally the hardest question you could ask me considering my favorite <i>hobby</i> is shopping. Yes, it's a hobby, not an obsession or habit. With that said, I'll have to choose...a simple, v-neck tee from H&M. It can be dressed up or dressed down. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">What is your favourite way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;">Best rainy Sundays are spent inside in pajamas, curled up on the couch in a blanket, with my friends, enjoying our favorite shows or movies, while talking, snacking, and enjoying a few beverages. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;">(Comma-splice much?! Yes, I'm an English teacher) </span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">What is your favourite beauty product?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000;">Recently, my friend Amy, introduced me to a face peel made by Skin Food. It is a popular brand that is made in Korea. Because I have sensitive skin, I was a bit nervous to try it. Once I used it, however, I noticed a difference in the way my skin felt. It was smooth like a baby's bottom. Seriously. </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>

Unfortunately, there isn't too much to report from this trip. Fortunately, it was spent laying in the sun with a good friend, RELAXING!<br />
<br />
This trip was planned in a week. My friend/co-worker, Brigitte, brought to my attention at work one day, a 4-day weekend that was coming up for us. Other hagwons (private English academies) were not getting this long weekend because it wasn't an actual Korean holiday. Our CEO, Mr. Song, chose these days as a "thank you" for our hard work during intensives.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I was thinking maybe a long weekend in Busan (one of my favorite places in Korea as it's located on the coast). However, Brig had a completely different idea. She said, "We're going to the Philippines." And all I had to say was, "Yes please!" We were planning it ourselves until she received a special deal through a Korean tour company called "R Tour." Their flight deal was $350 round trip. That solidified our decision. We bought our tickets. I was in charge of finding a resort for us to stay at...as my search went on, we decided to stay at the resort our friend Mel stayed at during her Christmas vacation. It's called "Sofitel Resort." Mel had only good things to say, therefore it made our decision easy. It was near the airport, shopping, food, and other tourist attractions. This was all we needed to plan as we wanted to make this trip a "no stress, do whatever we want when we want" kinda trip.<br />
<br />
All I really have to report is that Brig and I truly enjoyed our relaxation weekend. As much as it would have been nice to learn a bit more about the history and culture, we really just needed the break. And that is exactly what we did our first day. We laid by the pool, where we were served lunch and drinks. We took naps, read, and had girl talk by the pool. When the sun started going down, we went back to our room to sit on our balcony to watch the sunset. We enjoyed a couple of drinks while getting to know each other and bond. Then we decided it was time to go explore the "nightlife." We went to an area called, "Greenbelt." It is a well-known shopping, eating, going out area. There are usually a lot of tourists. We met a nice man from Norway that was there on business. He picked up the tab - Thank you Norway man!! Then we made our way to a cafe bar. It had live music - the band was singing salsa music - and yes, I danced my night away. Not having experience with this kind of dancing, I was a bit nervous. Brig used to go to salsa dancing classes in Washington during her college years. She felt comfortable and was most ecstatic. For the first part, I sat and watched. It wasn't until a guy came to our table to ask me to dance that I finally did it. He was really nice, twirled me around, and made me feel like I was a professional. His name, I have forgotten, however I do remember he was there traveling as we were. He had studied in Brazil for a year and that's how he picked up the salsa technique. Needless to say, I am in love with salsa dancing and want to try it out when I get home. After dancing for a couple hours, we decided our beds were calling our name.<br />
<br />
Our second day there, we went shopping at the Mall of Asia (aka SM Mall). It is HUGE! We didn't even make it through half of the mall...partly because we were wore out from trying clothes on, and we wanted to lay by the pool again. That's exactly what we did. We hailed a cab back to the resort, changed into our suits, and headed to the pool. This evening was laid back. We stayed at the resort, ate at the sports bar (which the food was delicious), played some cards, then went to our room. We watched a movie and fell asleep quite early.<br />
<br />
The third and final day was a repeat of day 1. We had breakfast in our room, went to the pool, and literally consumed as much sun and heat as we could. By now, the lifeguards and servers of the pool knew our faces and what we liked to drink. When the sun started to set, we went inside to change into our travel clothes. Since we had a few hours before heading to the airport, we went back to the sports bar for food, drinks, and Speed (card game). As we sat there, we talked with the bartender who informed us of all the things we missed out on and suggested we come back to the Philippines when we have more time to travel.<br />
<br />
Getting to the airport was painless, however being there was a different story. The whole trip Brig and I kept forgetting that the Philippines was an hour behind Korea's time. Our phones hadn't changed as they usually do automatically. We were there a little over 3 hours early. YUCK! The airport in Manila is small, hot, and humid. There isn't much to it and it was in the evening so the stores that ARE there, were mainly closed. We did what we could to make the most of those last few hours but we were definitely ready to get on the plane...or be back at the resort!<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a successful trip. It was much needed. I'm so thankful I was able to have that experience.<br />
<br />
Highlights:<br />
1. People in the Philippines always referred to me as "ma'am" or "miss."<br />
2. Getting TAN!!<br />
3. Developing a new interest - salsa<br />
4. Learning more about Brig<br />
5. Filipino food is delicious!<br />
6. Adding another country to my passport<br />
7. Christian, our waiter at the resort<br />
8. The time difference situation becoming a joke<br />
9. Not spending as much as anticipated<br />
10. Being able to relax 100%, completely careless of time.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from the trip. Sorry there aren't more. We were by the pool most of the time...<br />

After more inspiration from other videos being posted, a couple foreigners living in Bundang (about 15minutes from where I live) came up with the idea to have a group make our own in various locations. During a one-day video shoot, we were able to create four videos, parodies of "Harlem Shake." If you search for videos on YouTube, you will find a plethora of different videos that have been made for this song. I must say, ours tops the charts. I hope you enjoy!! PS. I am the dino. </div>

My mind and heart were at war with each other. Saying Goodbye another time to my family, knowing that I would not see them until October 2013 put an ache in my heart. However at the same time, the excitement I had to return to my surrogate family as well as my friends is indescribable. And as much as I loved being home, spending time with Dad & Denise, Mom & Mark, Juju, Matt & Carson, and Sue, I wanted my Korea life back. It was unexpected to feel the way I did.<br />
<br />
Since I got back on December 1st, a lot has happened...many adventures full of laughter and excitement, along with sad moments - a readiness to get back to the states.<br />
<br />
Let's start with the adventures first. In December, I had the chance to spend a fun-filled Christmas Eve night with Ben. I made dinner then we opened presents and visited. We both worked on Christmas but in the evening, I made Christmas dinner for a few friends. On the main menu was: baked chicken, veggies, mashed potatoes, and salad. For dessert, my friend Lauren brought an amazing ice cream cake she picked up at Baskin Robbins. After dinner, we watched the famous "Christmas Story" while visiting and playing cards. I must say, it was a success. For New Year's, I had to work (no surprise). This didn't stop me from spending it with Ben and our friends. We got ourselves dressed to impress, then met up with his friends in Gangnam (located in Seoul). It's amazing how big American holidays are. Korea always does an amazing job recognizing our special days - making special events at restaurants and bars to help us celebrate. Unforgettable to say the least.<br />
<br />
Fast forwarding through January to the end of January/beginning of February. Ben's departure was at the end of January, therefore not able to be here for my birthday. As soon as he arrived in Washington, he sent a birthday card to make sure it arrived on time. Mom & Mark also sent a birthday package for me to open the day before my birthday. I LOVE RECEIVING MAIL!! In the package was a cupcake kit - all the things I needed to make birthday cupcakes. They turned out well considering I made them from my toaster oven. Everyone at work devoured them. For my 2nd birthday in Korea, I decided to keep it small - with my closest friends. There were ten of us total. We went to COEX Intercontinental Wine Buffet located in Seoul. It was 35,000won for all you can eat and drink. The food was prepared really well; I was impressed. Needless to say, it was a successful birthday evening. On my actual birthday, because it was a Monday, it was a co-worker birthday dinner - we had Korean BBQ, which as always, was amazing. We kept it to an early night due to our work schedule. Getting close to present time...the Korean New Year (Seollal - Lunar New Year) was February 9-11. This is one of the holidays that DYB (my work) ACTUALLY gives us a break. My friend Mel (Melissa) is from Washington. I met her through my co-worker/friend, Brig (Brigitte). Her and I knew we wanted to do SOMETHING special. At first, we talked about flying to Japan until our conscience got the best of us and we decided not to spend so much money on a 3-day/2-night trip. Therefore, we resulted to another Busan adventure. It is a beach located south of where I live. We signed up with a group which was perfect because we both knew a few people that were going. Friday night, we left on a bus with the others in our group. After an all-nighter on the bus, we arrived in Busan around 6am - just enough time to check-in to our motel and get about 4 hours of sleep before waking up and meeting the group downstairs for our first day of fun. We spent Saturday playing shuffle board, eating a delicious American breakfast, and then walking/talking/hanging out on the beach. In the evening, we went to a restaurant/bar that served us a delicious meal of pulled pork, beans, and vegetables. We ended our night, dancing the night away. On Sunday, we went sight-seeing. Our tour bus took us to a lighthouse located along the beach (it was a beautiful lookout point). Afterwards, we headed to the famous Jagalchi Fish Market. It was most interesting to see the customs associated with the fish market. Watching Koreans handle the different types of fish and examining their lifestyle struck my curiosity. It is so different from the Korean lifestyle in Seoul. This was our last night in Busan. After we got back to our motel to take a nap and shower, we headed to Haeundae Beach (another side of Busan). Here, we went to another foreigner bar called Wolfhound to have another western meal. I have to be honest...it was TOO much western food for me. I was hoping and wishing for Korean food again (looks like I'll need to be able to cook it for when I get back to the states). We ate, enjoyed singing some songs of the weekend. The next day, before we headed home, we visited a famous temple that is located right near the ocean. It was beautiful; pictures coming soon (hopefully). Overall, this trip, I can report to say it has been one of my most favorite weekends in Korea - traveling-wise. The people I met are easily becoming some great friends. The things we did were monumental!! LOL<br />
<br />
Here we are in the present. Don't get me wrong, I am still enjoying my time in Korea. I still love my students and co-teachers. My co-workers are awesome and we get along great. With this, I have new friends and old friends that I get to spend a lot of time with. But I have to be honest. At times...most recently, I feel that I have fulfilled my time here. I know my family and friends will like this next sentence. I am ready to get home. There are goals that I have yet to accomplish back home. It's going to be time, come time in September/October, for me to apply for my Master's - get the REAL degree - Master's of Arts in Teaching. I WANT to be a certified/licensed teacher. MY time here in Korea has most definitely solidified the fact that this is my "calling." I can't wait to be a licensed teacher and hopefully get back into coaching high school sports. Hence my earlier point of stating that I have had sad moments - for the mere fact that I feel ready to take the steps to accomplish my long term goals.<br />
<br />
There are seven months and some change left. I have every intention of living it up! Currently, I'm involved in a women's Bible study every two weeks, church on Sundays, fun with friends on Fridays and Saturdays, and small trips in between. Also, Ben and I are helping each other train for a couple 5k's...hopefully reaching to a 10k...if our interest and desire continues....we want to train for a 1/2 marathon....possibly as far as a full marathon. We may be 5,600 miles apart, but we continue to encourage one another in our goals. I'll keep you posted...<br />
<br />
A new goal for the New Year...keeping all my readers updated on my life until I'm back in the states. Commitment. Coming at ya!!<br />
<br />

<br />
Of course it would take me more than a couple days to update you.<br />
<br />
As of October 9th (or 16th), I am officially in Korea for another year. DYB, Korean teachers and students, have all influenced me to stay one more year. After thinking about it and praying about it, this is the best decision for me. As much as I miss my family and friends, this gives me another year of teaching experience along with being immersed in a different culture, learning the customs of others. There is much more I have yet to explore here. But don't worry, be happy. I will be home, God willing, next year (September-ish 2013).<br />
<br />
Cheers to another year of funky smells, socks, and styles.<br />

Since 4 months in 1 post.And now that I have brought you up to date with my Asian Vacation and a quick run down on May and June, I know you are wondering how I have been since then and what has kept me so busy.<br />
<br />
July and August were fun summer months, aside from being sick. I battled a throat infection (thank you Korean air) and tonsilitis....or something. Honestly, I have lost track of the times I have been sick here in Korea. It is becoming a bit of a joke. Especially when you hear about what is next in this post. However, there were good times to be had, and I had them. I went on a couple adventures with my hiking group, CIK (Climbing in Korea). We went river trekking, twice. As always, the first part of the hike, I thought to myself, "What was I thinking?!" but in the end, it's worth the pain. Also, there were many evenings spent with friends on our patio (aka Family Mart plastic furniture) and strolls along the river with Em and Layla. We found a cute waffle cafe about 15 minutes from our apartment - we call it Cafe Road - filled with cafes, italian restaurants, and cute boutiques. It has been one of our favorite places to walk around. There is also a nice Thai restaurant in the area as well. Oh! And in July, there was an event called "Mudfest!" It was interesting to say the least. I would go again...but change a few things...definitely get a hotel and not stay at a pension. Floors are not my fancy. Mudfest is where I met Ben. We have a mutual friend, Steve. Ben and I have enjoyed getting to know each other and we meet for church on Sundays. He has been my date on a couple occasions and we continue to develop a close friendship/bond. He'd fit right in with my friends back home. Also, Em's boyfriend, Kevin was in Korea visiting for about 2 weeks if I recall. I had a lot of fun getting to know him and finally meet the man I have heard so much about over the past year. Him and I tease each other a lot about who Em loves more. I think I win! These were the most exciting parts about the two months...<br />
<br />
We are reaching the end of September now. In fact, tomorrow is my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY being in Korea. I wish I could say I was celebrating, dolled up, a night on the town with my friends. Unfortunately, my overly active self has landed me a nice spot on my couch until further notice. Wednesday of this week, I woke up having troubles breathing. After two hours, I finally text my co-worker, Daniel, to ask him what I should do. He called me, keeping me as calm as possible until he was at my door. Right then, he grabbed my purse and helped me to the hospital. The Dr was able to see me right away...checking my temperature (slight fever), squeezing a pressure point on my hand which brought me to near tears, and pushing on my stomach as if he were trying to grab my insides (another tear jerker). Of course, we can't forget the "Open mouth say, "Ahh...(in a heavy Korean, broken English accent)"" I made my way to the xray room, confused as to why he wanted to see my bones (yes, that was what I was thinking). After about 5 more minutes, I went back in to see the Dr, watching him look at my results. Fortunately, Daniel came in with me so he could also listen to what the Dr was going to say. Daniel has been in Korea a couple years longer than I have and has taken some Korean classes. He can understand more than he thinks. Dr's results: Pneumonia. Definitely not what I was expecting. As best as he could, he tried to explain that it has affected my right lung and I will have to take antibiotics for a week, rest, and be back for a check up on Tuesday, October 2. This house arrest is boring. Did I mention that this weekend is Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving)?! I had plan to go to Gwangju with Ben to see a couple museums, eat lots of Korean food, and relax. But, instead, the long 4 day weekend will be spent in Suji-gu with Ben, movies, books, and soup. Needless to say, although I'm not getting to be my usual adventurous self, I'll get to spend quality time with an amazing person. Our goal: Read a lot, watch a lot of movies, eat good food, clean my apartment, and study!! Maybe, if I'm feeling well enough, we will go to church on Sunday.<br />
<br />
And there you have it!!<br />
<br />
My post in a couple days will be the one you have all been waiting for...will she stay? or will she come home? Most of you may know, but the ones that don't know, I'd like to keep you on the edge of your seat for just a couple more days.<br />
<br />
XOXO,<br />
M<br />
<br />
PS. I will post pictures from the last few months soon. Waiting is the best part!MaLeah Schmidthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15814428259689148135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799417380033224245.post-6554444191190705532012-09-20T01:02:00.001-07:002012-09-20T01:51:28.896-07:00The country of Humidity, Tsunamis, and SongkranWhen I first touched down in Korea, I knew I would eventually get a break from my teaching life and get the chance to do some traveling. What I didn't know, was the endless possibilities of where I could go. Some suggested the Philippines, while others insisted on Vietnam, Malaysia, China, or Japan. With that being said, I also knew Thailand was a place of interest, especially with the consideration that I could travel with two other girls - Amy and Monica. As Amy and I established our friendship and became close quite quickly, my mind was made up. Hands down, Thailand it was!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her friend, Monica, from back home (Chicago, Illinois) was going to join us for our Asian Vacation. In December/January, our dates were set and cleared from HR to take vacation at the same time. Monica was also able to get those dates off from work. As we were searching flights and prices, we started to think it was going to be a lot more expensive than other expats had led us to believe. But then we chose a travel agency - which brought our price from $831 round-trip down to $587 - Thank you Hana Tour!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That was the 'hard' part. Casually, we looked on the internet for places to stay and where we wanted to go. Unfortunately, all we knew was that we wanted Thai massages, manis/pedis, the beach, and a few cocktails - with some site-seeing, of course. Luckily, Skofe (the adventurous, fun-spirited Canadian) had enough ideas to guide us. After our extensive FB (Facebook) e-mail exchanges and internet searching, we had our mind made up that we would visit Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, and Bangkok. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our itinerary looked a little something like this:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sunday, April 8th - Fly from ICN (Incheon Internation'l Airport) Seoul to Bangkok for a transfer to Phuket.</div>
<div>
Monday, April 9th - Take a ferry to Koh Phi Phi Island.</div>
<div>
Tuesday, April 10th - Koh Phi Phi adventures</div>
<div>
Wednesday, April 11th - Koh Phi Phi more adventures</div>
<div>
Thursday, April 12th - Koh Phi Phi more relaxing</div>
<div>
Friday, April 13th - Koh Phi Phi last day of fun on the island</div>
<div>
Saturday, April 14th - Take a ferry back to Phuket </div>
<div>
Sunday, April 15th - Fly to Bangkok - explore</div>
<div>
Monday, April 16th - Bangkok all day for more exploring. Fly back to ICN at 11pm </div>
<div>
Tuesday, April 17th - 7am : arrive back in Seoul<br />
<br />
Instead of boring you with every inch of detail, I thought it would be a nice change to let the pictures of my trip do the talking. But, the ONE story I MUST share is that one of my dreams came true! I had the chance to feed many macaques (monkeys) AND hold, yes I said HOLD, a gibbon all on the SAME day. It was this day that made me fall in love with Thailand.<br />
<br />
Without further adieu...<br />
<br />
Day 1<br />

Four months have passed and I have failed to keep this up-to-date. My track record is not looking decent, that's for sure.<br />
<br />
Most apologies to my Grandma Hornick (Thank you for your consistent e-mails) and my aunts (the two in California and Aunt Sandy) that I know check this as well. Oh, and I cannot forget about my very special, Uncle Lonnie...he has made a short-cut to my blog on his iPhone. Of course this includes anyone else that checks my blog regularly to only be disappointed each time. I love you all very much and I am truly sorry.<br />
<br />
I am realizing as my time in Korea passes, that it goes much quicker than I anticipated. It seems like yesterday (only this was in February) that my mom was peeking her head around the corner of the elevator to pick me up from "school." Not only have I had the adventures of Mom and Juju's visit, but also a trip to Thailand with a tsunami evacuation scare, continued adventures in Suji-gu, and a new hobby of hiking/climbing Korean mountains. The end of my contract is sneaking up on me fast (only three and a half more months), therefore, I must give you an informed update before I forget all those little moments I would have wanted to share. Put on your eyeglasses; this is going to be a long one!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">End of February:</span><br />
The most exciting part in the last couple of weeks in February was my mom and sister's visit. I had spent a couple, maybe even a few weeks, planning for mom to come. As some of you may know, I created an itinerary for her stay along with specific instructions (in English AND Korean) for when she landed. From what I gathered, the instructions worked well and she (and my sister) had help from a Korean or two. When Mom made it to my apartment, she was able to set her things down, take a breather, and then she came to my school (work) to "pick me up." Seeing her step off the elevator, tired, a bit confused as to whether or not she was in the right place or not, was an indescribable feeling. When we made eye contact, it was nothing but smiles, tears, and hugs. The front desk staff got quite the movie scene. Mom came into my office to meet my co-workers. We had written a "Welcome Mum!" message (one of my closest friends, Emily, is from England and says "Mum" not "Mom") on our whiteboard. Because I have talked to Mom about my co-workers often and she has seen many pictures, she said she felt like she already knew them. Emily walked home with us and then we parted ways once we reached our building. As Mom and I walked into my apartment, and I walked down the short, almost non-existent hallway, I heard, "Hi Juju!" Completely shocked, speechless, and many more emotions at once, I said something that I cannot repeat. My sister, my Juju, my bestest of best friends, came all the way to Korea to see me!! As you all know, Carson (my nephew) was only 8 months, if I did the math right. Juju had already spent a lot of time away from him because of work, but the words she said to me that I will never forget is, "There is no way I could go a whole year without seeing my Juju Bee." The next thing that came were the alligator tears. Mom was able to capture one picture...it's not the best, but I will post anyway. It was the three of us girls, together again. I can't explain the feelings I felt or the thoughts I had to have my mom and sister a part of my life in Korea.<br />
Our first night was not much to report. We stayed up for a bit talking. Mom took the bed. Juju slept on the air mattress that they brought and I slept on the couch. When mom went to bed, Juju and I stayed up talking and giggling as if we were 13 and 9 again. We made snoring noises like we used to when we were younger (Sorry Juju, the secret is out). The two of us had become even closer when Carson was born...spending as many days together as we could, even if it meant that I helped with laundry or entertaining Carson so she could respond to some work e-mails or attempt to take a nap, knowing that our time left was limited since I was leaving for Korea. It felt so good to have my best friend laying next to me in my new world.<br />
The next day, Mom and Juju came to my work during my lunch time. We went to an Italian restaurant that is nearly, right next door to my work building. Yeah, yeah. Their first meal in Korea and it wasn't even Korean. Oopsy. I showed them my favorite coffee shop. And they saw that I am a very frequent customer (my punch card was on the wall near the cash register). After we ate, I headed to work, I think. They explored the Suji-gu area (where I live). I met up with them at my apartment after work. We visited and got ready for a night out with my close friends from home, Steph and Joe. I took them on a subway for their first time (well, I think Juju's...mom has been on one in Boston, maybe). Steph and Joe are only 4 subway stops from my station. We hung out at their studio for quite a while just visiting and enjoying each other's company. It was a long, story-filled, fun night!!<br />
Because of the late night, we stayed in most of the next day. I showed them a little bit of Seohyeon area. And then we went to dinner. The three of us were still tired and recovering from a long week of work, jet-lag, etc. It was early to bed for us.<br />
Refreshed and ready to take on Korea, we headed out for a fun-filled busy day. I took them to Cheongbeokdong Palace. Mom brought her traveling friend. You will see pictures below. We took a lot of pictures there and enjoyed seeing the history. Afterwards, I took them to a popular shopping area called "Myeongdong." Our goal was to find outfits for our last night in Korea together. Of course we found that, plus some! Our last adventure of the night was the Jimjilbang. This is a "spa" place that is traditional for Koreans. It is very relaxing. Women and men have separate sides and then there is a communal area. In both the women and men's, there are different spas that have different temperatures. There are even cold baths. Also, you have the option (with an extra expense) to get a full body scrub, massage, hair wash, etc. You can spend as much time in this are with different hot tubs as you want. Once you are finished, you put on Pepto Bismol pink shorts and shirts, and go to the communal area where men from your family or your friends can meet you (they are wearing, most of the time, sky blue shorts and shirts). In this area, you will find different temperatures of saunas, an oxygen room, etc. There are massage chairs, play room for kids, karaoke rooms, a workout facility, restaurant, and hot stone walkways. Also, there is a concession stand for late-night guests, as this is a 24-hr facility. It is amazing all the different areas. The three of us had a good time relaxing and soaking up the Korean culture. Mom and Juju really seemed to enjoy the atmosphere. For Koreans, it is "family time." This was a great ending to our evening.<br />
Over the next few days, I had to head back to work. I was not feeling 100% (a typical cold) so we stayed close to home in the evenings. While I was at work, Mom and Juju were able to explore. We would make a route for them in the evenings so the next day, they knew exactly where they needed to go, whether it was a bus or subway. It seemed to work well, and I was so happy that mom had Juju here to experience it with. They visited the Korean Folk Village, Korean War Memorial, and Itaewon. One evening, the three of us went to Nanta (a comedy cooking show). One of the days, before they headed out on their adventure, both of them came to two or three of my classes. My kids LOVED seeing Mom and Juju. It is not often that they see a foreign family together. And for them to see their native teacher's family is even better. They had the chance to ask Mom and Juju the typical questions (What is your name? etc). And of course, the kids were on their best behavior for them. Mom and Juju took pictures too, as you will see later. Another day, I was able to take mom and Juju to Insadong as well as meet up with Joe and Steph one last time. Mom and Juju also just briefly met Daniel. There was a lot of shopping to be had in Insadong! We went to dinner afterwards at an Irish Pub that Joe and Steph had introduced me to on my birthday earlier in the month. All of us played darts and had a great time.<br />
Our last night was the most important evening for me. It was the ONE plan that was a surprise (well, for Mom...Juju knew all along as I did not know she would be coming TOO). I told Mom that she needed to have one nice outfit for her last night in Korea. She knew we would be going somewhere nice but had no idea. Getting ready together was one of the best parts of the afternoon/early evening. I was the hair stylist. Mom was first. Then myself. And last, my sister. We went back and forth on what outfits we wanted to wear (typical girl stuff). As we exited the subway station and were walking down a street, Juju looked up. She looked over to me and smiled. A few moments later she asked, "Are you going to tell mom yet?" Mom, looking a bit confused (maybe she knew), asked, "What?" I told mom to look up at the tower that was in front of us. I explained to her that we were going to the top of it for dinner. The three of us with HUGE smiles and locked arms made our way to the sky trolley and headed to the top. From mid-point, it takes you to an observatory with a little shop and a few restaurants. We made our way to the elevator that gives you an exciting, short ride to the tippy-top. The restaurant is called, "N-Grill." As mom opened the menu after getting seated, she immediately said, "MaLeah, NO!" HaHa. Then I had to remind her it was my treat and shows how much it means to me for her to come to Korea for a visit. And then she made me promise it was her birthday present too. There is a possibility she threw in Christmas and every other holiday thereafter. It was an AMAZING evening. Mom would be able to give the best details. There is not a single picture that could do the view of Seoul at night justice. We finished the evening with one last Myeongdong trip to buy more socks!<br />
I will say...their visit was bitter-sweet. Bitter because I had to say "Goodbye" to them, again...but sweet because it was a time I will cherish and hold onto forever. Having Mom come would have been enough to keep me going until I come back home...but having my sister, my best friend come too made the experience that much more unforgettable. It still amazes me that they were both here.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">March:</span><br />
Looking back on March, I cannot say there is much to report. The only pictures I have from my camera are St. Patrick's Day. It was a fun experience to have here in Korea. A group of friends and myself went on an evening cruise with many other expats, but I think that is about it for March. Hmm...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">April:</span><br />
This was the month of Thailand! I will classify this as an AMAZING vacation in Asia. To be honest, I cannot even BEGIN to tell all the stories from my trip so I will let the pictures do the talking. However, I will say, our first night was spent in Phuket, Thailand (at the best hostel), second through sixth nights were spent on Koh Phi Phi Island, Thailand (where we met a wonderful couple and had a tsunami evacuation), seventh night was spent back in Phuket, and our last and final night was spent in Bangkok, Thailand (where we rode an elephant, got our pictures taken with tigers, and had one last 1.5hr massage). On our trip, we did not do much shopping. I will say though, that while on the island, we spoiled ourselves with mani's, pedi's, and massages. Also on the island, we experienced Songkran (the Thai New Year). If the three of us could do it all again, we said we would, but we would change up the itinerary a bit. Instead of all the relaxing in the beginning and adventures at the end, we would switch. The three of us girls got along well in a resort for 5 nights and hostels for the other 3. Check out the pictures to see our experiences.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May:</span><br />
Almost done with the update.<br />
May was sad. But happy too. Daniel had to leave Korea early. His orders were re-assigned to go back to the states for more training. On his next assignment, he will be working on different engines, therefore, he needs the training, partly in South Carolina and the last bit in California. I have only mentioned him a couple times in my blog. To give you more details, he is from Atlanta, Georgia originally. Daniel is in the Air Force (9 years now) as a staff sergeant flight line engine mechanic (I think I said this right - I'm still learning). He is working to get another stripe, tech. sergeant. Crossing my fingers for him. Before coming to Korea, he was stationed in South Carolina for 8 years. In my opinion, an amazing guy with a big heart. He has many goals for himself, as I still do for myself, so we are staying in contact, supporting each other, and seeing where it takes us - no expectations. <span style="background-color: white;">Also in May, I found a new interest. No, not a man. Korean hiking/climbing. It is MUCH different from back in the states. There is no such thing called a "switchback." And when I say this, I am NOT joking. Koreans are serious about their "hiking." Uneven, steep rocks as steps ALL THE WAY up! A flat area for a break?! YEAH RIGHT! And going back down the mountains are no joke either. If you want to get in shape, you do what I've been doing. It truly is a love/hate relationship. In my head on the way up, I say, "What the heck was I thinking?!" Once I'm at the top, I tell myself, "This is exactly why!" And then heading back down the mountain, "Why can't there be a stinkin' escalator?!" When it is all said and done, and I am recovering on my couch watching NCIS with a pack of ice on top of my head, I am still glad I did it. The most challenging is the mental aspect. It has really forced me to overcome my thoughts of giving up or thinking I am not strong enough to do it. I am learning that I am a lot tougher than I give myself credit for sometimes. Because of this, it has become one of my favorite parts of Korea. And I will continue to take on these challenges.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">June:</span><br />
I am only 11 days into June so there is still a lot to be had. Already, I have been on one overnight hike (we departed from Seoul at 12am and started hiking at 4:30am - continuing to hike until 4pm, totaling almost a 12hr hike). This was the hike that REALLY tested my mental toughness. It was one of the hardest things I have had to overcome physically and mentally. That says a lot considering I have been involved in sports my whole life.<br />
Also, I went on a shorter, easier hike with Emily. Gwangyo Mountain is near our home so last Saturday, June 9th, when she got off work, we decided to take an afternoon hike. It was a perfect day. I was able to sleep in and relax because during the week, I was still recovering from the overnight trip. When she got off work, we met downstairs and our co-worker, Joe, took us to the beginning area. We mapped out our trip on the mountain and off we went. It was relaxing and we enjoyed the afternoon together. I will say, it was harder than Emily had anticipated. She realized how hard Korean hiking is. Although this hike was more like what I am used to back in the states. There were more consistent breaks in the climb. We only took a few pictures but I will say, this was another moment I had where I said, "I am DEFINITELY in Korea." At one rest/break area, there was a small library tent. Yes, that is what I said. A small library tent. This was an area where people could stop, take a rest, and read if they wanted. At another break area, there was an outside workout gym. Again, yes; that is what I said. There was a bench press right out there in nature, surrounded by trees. I repeat, "Only in Korea." Coming back down the mountain felt easy for me. It was nothing I had experienced the weekend before on Jirisan Mountain. Emily was hurting however. And we were trying to beat the light. Sunset is around 7:30pm right now and we still had around 3-4km to go. It was a race to get off the mountain before it was completely dark. I had forgotten to take my LED flashlight. My phone was almost dead so I could not use that as a light. All we had was Emily's iPhone and Layla, her dog to help guide us. It was definitely an unforgettable experience as we basically tripped down the last 2km's. All in all, it was fun and we treated ourselves afterwards.<br />
The next day (yesterday), we met up around 1pm for a study sesh (session). <b>Sidenote:</b> I have started an online course to get my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate. This will not only look good on my CV/Resume, but will also allow me to teach in other countries as well. It will take me about 3 months to complete as long as I stay on top of it. When I am done with the course, the company I am getting my certificate from will help me develop my CV/Resume more thoroughly, along with helping me find another job abroad if I choose to go that route. We went to a cafe that is near our building/work. It's called, "Cafe Koreano." After 6 hours of sipping a coffee, eating half a sandwich, and typing away, we decided to call it quits. Nervously, I e-mailed my first unit to my online instructor and we headed to the nearest Italian restaurant for some good ole comfort food. It wasn't bad...but it still wasn't my mom's spaghetti sauce. And the garlic bread should not be that sweet. If only I could have access to their kitchen. I would show them how it's done! Maybe...<br />
<br />
Guess what?! I have already received feedback from my online instructor about my first unit. He stated in the e-mail that I did very well and that he enjoyed reading my thorough, thought-out responses to the questions. There was only one thing he said I could have added to one of the tasks but overall, he was very pleased and cannot wait to read my future assignments. Usually, they only e-mail one unit at a time however he sent me units two and three today. This is REALLY good news! I assume he trusts that I am taking this seriously and not just trying to breeze through it. It helps having 8 months of experience with ESL students. Still, it feels good to know that what I am producing is more than satisfactory. Hopefully my work continues to get good responses. Cross your fingers for me!<br />
<br />
This weekend will be another fun-filled, busy weekend. Saturday morning I will make my way to Namhae Island for the day/night. There is a big group of people, most I do not know, but a couple I do know, that I will be with. Some are staying in a pension (hostel) and others are camping out, tent-style. I will be in a pension unfortunately since I do not have access to camping gear and do not want to spend the money. On Sunday, I will come back to Suji-gu (home) to finish my studying and submit my units to my online instructor.<br />
<br />
And there you have it!<br />
<br />
The last few months will go by quick; I just know it! Soon, I will be selling all the things I bought for my apartment and possibly writing a conclusion to this chapter of my life. Only the future will know. But for now, I am going to continue to enjoy my time in Korea with the friends I've made along with looking at my options for the future.<br />
<br />
Until my next submission...<br />
<br />

Hmm...I take that back. I am ALMOST ready for mom's arrival. There are a few more things I need to pick up from the store. Time is flying by so fast that I can't believe she will be here next Friday. We have a lot of things planned. I am hoping that we get to do it all.<br />
<br />
She has informed me that she is going to start packing this weekend. A couple months ago, she asked me what I needed her to bring...I couldn't think of ANYTHING...starting two weeks ago, I flooded her with items. Mom has been amazing, picking something up for me every day or letting me know there is one more thing checked off the list. I can't wait for her to get here. A hug from home is needed right now.<br />
<br />
The things I CAN tell you we are doing:<br />
DMZ (de-militarized zone) Tour on the 26th<br />
"Take Your Mom To Work" Day : They do not really have this in Korea...I made this up.<br />
Fancy dinner plans<br />
Shopping<br />
<br />
Yes, this is all I can tell you because I know she checks my blog at least once a week to see if I have a new post. A few things we are doing is a surprise for her. We will make sure to take lots of pictures for everyone.<br />
<br />
As always,<br />

"Teacher, you're so old now!" "MaLeah Tr. you are old lady." and the list goes on and on...<br />
<br />
Saturday I turned 25 (in Korea, I am 26). A quarter of a century feels like an accomplishment. I've graduated from college, I'm teaching in another country, and paying off that student loan debt that haunts me in my dreams...I wouldn't want it any other way. Everything I've done, I have learned from and grown. The people in my life have taught me and are still teaching me new things about life and helping me mold myself into who I am. XO<br />
<br />
My birthday week was very eventful. Two days, I pampered myself. Joe and Steph took me to an "Irish" pub on Wednesday night. We ate mozzarella sticks and calamari and then indulged with some fish and chips. The owners of the bar gave us drinks on the house for my birthday celebration. We played darts and enjoyed each other's company. Thursday, Emily and I ate at a famous burger place in Itaewon (mini America) called Jacoby's. Their burgers are <i>beyond</i> amazing! It was nice to have some girl time. Friday, my family and Korean co-teachers took me to dinner. We re-visited where we went when I first got here. I was really excited because I had not been to the restaurant since the beginning of October. And because the Korean ladies are joined us! Saturday, I worked in the morning. My first class was a 5th grade class. They sang "Happy Birthday MaLeah Teacher! We love you MaLeah Teacher!" I had 3 classes make cards for me and one class (3/4 grade) had a cupcake with a candle on it. When I walked into the class, they jumped up from behind their desks and sang "Happy Birthday" really loud! Emily surprised me with birthday gifts and McDonald's breakfast. It was so fun indulging in the guilty pleasure of unhealthy, delicious treats. All of my students gave me hugs. It was the best Saturday morning at work I have had! After work, I relaxed, watched some television, and hung out with Emily. In the evening, I met up with what I thought would be a small group of friends for dinner and drinks and turned into more which was awesome! I felt a little overwhelmed by how many people came to see me. After dinner and drinks, I danced with friends and strangers, enjoying the official age of 25! On Sunday, I didn't do much. I woke up early but fell back asleep (Sorry Mom, I know we were supposed to Skype). I made a delicious breakfast and watched a movie. Later on, Daniel and I went to Gecko's to enjoy the view on the 9th floor and visit. And after that, I watched another movie and fell asleep quite early. It was an unforgettably fun weekend!<br />

Here are some pictures from my birthday week. I am still waiting on Steph to send some to me as well as Daniel. More will be posted shortly.<br />

</div><div>Everything I was wanting and planning to do...SCRATCHED IT! </div><div><br />
</div><div>On Saturday after work, I did go to Hongdae with friends and stayed in a hostel, of which I failed to take pictures of...oopsy. I met some awesome people while staying the night there. There was a group of us that all hang out at least once a week, but there were others there as well. One guy was traveling from Germany and another from England, if I remember right. In the hostel, there were people from England, Ireland, Germany, America, etc. It was so much fun to hear why they were in Korea, what made them want to travel, how long they plan on staying, and where they are going next. The hostel is more like a guesthouse...there are multiple rooms with bunk beds and a few bathrooms. There is the main living/family area with a TV, couches, and two computers for use. The kitchen is also a general area for anyone to use. It was really cheap to stay and the owner is very nice and accommodating. A few people that were in my group stay every weekend...it has been their tradition since they got to Korea a couple months ago. It is a great central place to meet up and have a fun weekend together. We all sat around visiting for a few hours before splitting off to do our own thing. I believe I will stay again...in a couple weeks. </div><div><br />
</div><div>On Sunday I went to the movies to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...very disturbing parts but overall, was a <i>really</i> good movie. I would definitely recommend it. Then I had Mexican for dinner...delicious! </div><div><br />
</div><div>Monday was laid back. And same as Tuesday (today). I did laundry and made sure all my lesson planning is done for the week so I do not have to work too hard. During my work hours, I will have some time to work on lesson planning for next week...being on top of it helps the stress levels as well as give me time to think of better ideas. The better the idea, the more fun the kids have...shocking how that works. LOL</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am only working 4 days this week which I am a huge fan of. This weekend, I am going to attempt to check off a couple things from my bucket list that I failed to do this weekend. </div><div><br />

<br />
Uncle Lonnie,<br />
Juju tells me that you are following my blog closely. I want you to know that I think of you every day. The day I heard from Brit, I wanted to be on the next flight home, even though I know that being there would not have changed the condition you were in. I am SO proud of your progress! Juju continues texting me to let me know how you are doing. She also informed me that she tried to download the texting application for you but it was not working. I will try to do some research to see if there is a different application we can use to talk. I love you lots and miss you so much!! How bout them Ducks?! =) xoxo!!<br />
<br />
Now for the report...<br />
<br />
Saturday was funny to say the least. The charity ball was a lot further away than I had anticipated. And by the time we got there, people were already starting to leave...it looked like it was a good turn out...we just missed it. We did get ONE good picture. My hair turned out really cute, but the lady that did it did not make sure it was pinned tightly so I had to fix it. The dress I decided to wear was the green dress with matching earrings and bracelet. Unfortunately the purple dress was just not fitting the way I wanted it to...gotta love being a girl! Once we decided to leave, we met this guy and girl that seemed to be a couple. They were really nice and we realized the cabs that were there picking people up were really expensive so we decided to go halves with the "couple." We went to Hongdae which was where I was on New Years. It was a lot of fun and yes, we got home late. On Sunday, we went to Itaewon (mini America) for breakfast. There is a popular pub called the Wolfhound. They were really busy. It looks like a lot of people that live in the area go there on Sundays to hang out, visit, eat, and sometimes drink. The food was good but I prefer All-American Diner. It has a non-smoking section and the service is faster. It was good to change it up though.<br />
<br />
Monday was filled with the usual lesson planning and getting ready for the week. Nothing spectacular to inform.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a good week. I will be posting soon about the events of Lunar New Year (Korean holiday) that will be happening this weekend. So far, the plan is to stay at a hostel in Hongdae with Amy and friends, go to Everland to ride a couple roller coasters and watch a parade, and play the rest of the weekend by ear. Lotte World sounds really fun too. It is also an amusement park place that may have fireworks. We'll see.<br />
<br />

<br />
Two nights ago, Thursday, my co-workers (Em, Trish, Joe, & Dan) and I went to an "American" style restaurant in Jukjeon which is about a 15-20 minute walk from our house. The restaurant is called "Gecko's." It was DELICIOUS! I had a cheeseburger (no bun of course) and it was the most amazing thing ever!! Those of you that know me really well also know that I had ranch on the side. It was the good ranch, not the Hidden Valley, cheap ranch. It made me really happy...so happy that I think I am going back this weekend...maybe Sunday?! We will see. After we ate, the girls and I visited while enjoying a cocktail and the boys played a game of pool, or three. It was nice to have an evening out with the family because we have not done anything together since Christmas time. With intensives keeping us busy, lesson planning, and just busy with our own things, we haven't had time to take the time. The girls and I took a few pictures because we dressed up for fun. We felt we needed a night to get dolled up - makeup, outfit, the works! It was fun...getting ready is always the best part. The boys approved of our looks and felt bad they did not try harder. Successful evening of good conversation and quality time.<br />
<br />
Yesterday evening, Friday, I met up with Joe and Steph for dinner in Seohyeon (one subway stop from their house). I was introduced to a few of their friends they have been hanging out with lately. They were all very nice and welcoming. We enjoyed a Korean BBQ dinner then went to a foreigner bar (Traveler's) to visit. The men played shuffleboard while the girls chatted. It is always nice and comforting to see Joe and Steph. They are my piece of home...I did not stay out late because of course, I work on Saturdays. It was a good evening though.<br />
<br />
Today I will be going to a champagne charity ball. It will benefit kids and their family's that are in Korea, living in poverty. The theme is Plain and Fancy. Some people will be dressed very plain, in a t-shirt and jeans, while others are dressed fancy, in ball gowns, dresses, suits, and even tiaras. I will be dressed somewhat in between, more of a semi-formal look. In Myeong-dong this week, I bought a dark purple dress that sits a little above my knees. I have my black patent wedges I will wear with black tights, gold chandelier earrings and gold bracelets. To top it off, I am getting my hair done too. It should be a lot of fun! Knowing how I am, I was afraid that maybe I will feel "fat" the day of the event, I bought a back-up dress. There is matching jewelry to go with the dress. You will find out which one I actually wear when I post pictures and report how the ball went. My friend/date, Daniel will also be dressed to impress. He will not tell me what he is wearing so I guess I will find out tonight when I meet up with him. This event is supposed to be very big with a lot of guests. It is going to be at a hotel called Banyan Tree Hotel & Spa. You should google it. The place looks amazing. I am excited to walk around the resort to see everything it has to offer.<br />
<br />
On Sunday, I am hoping to sleep in a little. Then I may be going to Itaewon (little America) to try a restaurant called Wolfhound. EVERYONE talks about how amazing it is. We shall see. I also want to do a little exploring too...maybe visit City Hall...the options are endless.<br />
<br />
Monday is my Sunday. I will be prepping for school...yay for lesson planning!!<br />
<br />
Oh and also this week, I have been in contact with a couple girls my age that want to do language exchange. This would be an awesome opportunity for me...I will find out more next week. They work at a hotel in Seoul as receptionists and waitresses...sounds a lot like me!! We should have a lot in common. And they like to shop. =)<br />
<br />
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.<br />

My only excuse is that at the end of the day...all I want to do is snuggle up on my couch and watch an episode of Friends, Ally McBeal, or NCIS. I spend quite a few hours in front of a computer making worksheets and planning lessons, realizing how much time it takes planning a fun, worthwhile, and interesting lesson for my very tired kids. One of my New Year's resolutions is to attempt a blog update at least every two weeks...instead of the usual four.<br />
<br />
Now onto the newest news...<br />
<br />
December has flown by. I can't believe it's already 2012. In Korea, this is the end of the school year. They get a month or two break from their Korean public school, but that means there are "intensives" for private (English) school. We started intensives on Monday the 2nd...which means instead of teaching 6 classes a day, there is the potential to be teaching 9 classes a day. Our campus was really lucky. The 5 of us English teachers have a pretty good schedule. Our students have gone into a higher grade and possibly a different level...I am a little sad because I am not teaching the students I have become close with ...we do not get the option to follow our students. On a positive note, knowing that my kids are not only going up a grade, but also leveling up makes me feel I am doing my job well. I have talked with them about how they feel leveling up and they say they are very nervous. It is nice to reassure them that they deserve it and need it in order to better themselves. A challenge is always needed for growth. Also, I have students that are sad because we will not be together...talk about making me emotional! For Christmas, I received letters, cards, and cookies from students. Their cards and letters were so sweet. Some stated that I have taught them better English and others tell me that they were happy to have a 'pretty' teacher (Thank you kids for the ego-boost!) LOL. There are a few that I have built a special bond with...and they have promised to come visit me in the native teacher room. It will be fun to change things up and get to know a new group of kids though. It's all part of the journey.<br />
<br />
On Christmas Eve, I invited friends to my house...I had a total of 11 guests including Joe & Steph, Joe & Trish, Em, Ames, Nara, Cathy, Jin Joo, Julia, and Jessie. It was quite a lot when you think of the size of my one bedroom apartment, however it worked well. The menu was homemade meatballs (which Joe & Steph highly approved), spaghetti, and chicken fettucine alfredo. My guests were only in charge of bringing their own drinks. I was pleasantly surprised when Ames brought a really cute Christmas cake, a cheesecake from Julia & Jessie, pound cake from...I think Nara & Cathy, and a pecan/walnut pie from Jin Joo. No one went home hungry! Joe (my co-worker) brought over his music and speakers so we could have some nice music playing in the background. OH! And I cannot forget that Ames brought her Yorkshire Terrier, Choco, and Em brought Layla, a Pomeranian. It was a full house, and I loved every minute of it. It was organized chaos just like home, making it feel exactly like Christmas in Oregon. After everyone left, Ames and I went out with some friends. It made for a late night but reminded me of going out with friends after family festivities. Christmas Day, I was going to go with Em to her friend's house. She knows her from England. But instead, I stayed home. I was tired and needed a break, however I cannot lie. Staying home, watching Christmas movies, and making deviled eggs and dinner alone made me a little homesick. I kept thinking of the years I watched Dad make deviled eggs with Juju (Onna, my sister), playing games with Mom, Juju, Aunt Sandy, and Bear (my cousin, Carrie) while the men watched TV, watching everyone open their presents, and torturing Bella (my cat), and Sue (my stepmom) always trying to get me to watch It's a Wonderful Life (Sue, I almost gave in this year). Although, in a weird way, it was also kind of nice to have quiet time to myself. It was a mix of emotions, let me tell ya! The end of Christmas Day, Em came by to see me. Let a couple tears shed...sad and happy. The typical girl thing, you know?! We shared some sparkling wine and talked for a bit while cuddling with Layla. It ended nice.<br />
<br />
New Year's was SO much fun! There was a big group of us that went out together. First, I met up with Ames and her date, Joe (Yes, another Joe) at the guesthouse (hostel) they stayed at for the weekend. They were there with a group of friends that I had not met yet. They were very nice and welcoming. My date/friend, Daniel came with me. Shortly after, Em and our new friend, Heather met up with us. After visiting and the girls freshening up, we headed to a place we have been to before. We went for Halloween. It has a mix of foreigners and Koreans which is always the best atmosphere. There was a lot of dancing and laughs and pictures involved. It almost felt as if you were famous. Everyone wanted to get pictures of everyone. The night was a lot of fun, made lots of memories, and am happy to report, NO HANGOVER! I am sad to report, I still got sick...<br />
<br />
I had body aches on Friday the 30th, but did not think much of it besides that I maybe slept wrong the night before. Turns out, I was getting sick. Body aches, headache, cold sweats, coughing...very frustrating, especially because I was sick last month. I ended up going to the doctor and had to miss a day of work. Unfortunately the language barrier kept me from understanding what he was trying to tell me. But I did understand "prescription" and "1st floor." I went to the reception desk and paid 13,000won which is about $12. Then at the pharmacy downstairs, I paid another 13,000won for my prescription...talk about CHEAP!! While waiting for my medications, I was looking around and found a box in ALL English. A multi-vitamin is definitely what I need here so I bought it too. The pharmacist spoke really good English. She said that she strongly suggested the multi-vitamin and explained how and when to take my medicine. It has been two days of taking the medications and multi-vitamins. I am feeling a lot better and only have a bad cough. As long as I keep up on taking the pills at the right time, I don't feel too poorly. One of my classes is full of high energy fifth grade boys...they love mocking my cough...little brats! When they do it, it makes me laugh, which then makes me cough more...it's a vicious cycle. LOL <br />
<br />
The next couple weeks, I plan to lay low. I want my body to be fully recovered for when mom comes to visit. The schedule at work has changed. Actually, I like my schedule a lot more these days. We start in the morning and the latest class I will have is on Wednesdays and it ends at 6:40pm. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I end by 2:40pm which means I still have my afternoon and evening. Fridays I am done at 5pm. Sundays and Mondays are of course, my days off. Adjusting to morning schedule hasn't been too bad. It also makes lesson planning more fun because I have been cuddling up on my couch, drinking tea, and listening/watching Ally McBeal. A cozy environment instead of at a desk at work. Em came over last night to lesson plan with me. And on Sunday we are going to spend the day together watching Ally McBeal, lesson planning, eating, drinking tea, and just being lazy.<br />
<br />
I think I FINALLY have you caught up on my life in Korea.<br />
<br />
Mom JUST text me to remind me she will be here in 43 days...I am getting excited as her itinerary is filling up fast and she doesn't even know it (well, now she will)! I have a few things up my sleeve planned.<br />
<br />
Time to get to class.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and fun New Year's.<br />
<br />
XO,<br />

It snuck up on me really quick...time is going by really fast here in Suji.<br />
<br />
My middle school students have been testing the last couple of weeks which means I have had the chance to take the back seat and coast for a little bit. I have only had 9 classes a week, my elementary levels. For another week, work will be consumed with pre-planning future lessons and anticipating the arrival of new books for our middle school students. This week we have been preparing for our parent/teacher conference. My goal is to get a video of the performance that the other native teachers (my co-workers) and myself put together for the parents. If you have seen the cheesy, yet entertaining movie called, "Bring It On," there is a cheer they do towards the first part of the movie that we used, but our own rendition. We had our first performance this morning, which we had to do twice, one for middle school parents and the second for the elementary school parents. I must say, our performance was a "hit!" The second time we did it, we received a loud applause before we were done...as we continued, they seemed impressed. Looking at the audience, I saw 100+ smiles. It felt good to stand up there, knowing it was a cheesy performance, yet to them, it was amazing. Next Wednesday, we will be doing it again, twice.<br />
<br />
Also this week, my co-workers and I have been planning when we are going to have our Christmas dinner, complimentary of DYB. We are thinking of taking a train to a different city for a nice, upscale, formal dinner. We want to have it before Daniel, my team leader, leaves for Australia. He will be gone for Christmas so we want to make sure we get to celebrate with him. On Christmas morning, I have a couple plans...Joe, Trish, Em, and I are going to get together for "family" brunch. It will be potluck style as we always do. Then for the evening, I will be meeting up with my good friends from home, Joe and Steph for Christmas dinner. We are thinking of going to Namsam Tower for dinner...will have to check with them to confirm. If not, we may just enjoy each other's company at their home or mine; we shall see.<br />
<br />
As of December 30th, I will be M.I.A for about 6-7 weeks. On this day, my school starts Winter Intensives. This means 12 hour days, possibly 6 days a week + lesson planning (about 2-6 extra hours). I may be teaching up to 9 classes a day (normal schedule is 6 a day). It will be exhausting but worth it. I believe a small raise is involved during this time...YAY! If you did your math right, you will notice it ends the end of February, just in time for Mom's visit. It will be fun to get out and go on fun adventures with her...it will be much needed after Intensives.<br />
<br />
Oh, my reasoning for this post......to tell you about my Thanksgiving!!<br />
<br />
I had three different Thanksgiving celebrations. On Thursday, because we had to work, we (co-workers and me) decided to go out to dinner. Our favorite placeis an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant. They know us there...which means we usually visit them once a week. While eating, we went in a circle to share what we are thankful for. It was a nice way to end a long day. My next celebration was Saturday night with a couple friends, Em and Amy. A bar in Suwon called Big Chill is owned by a westerner and his Korean wife. They made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with Turkey, rolls, salad, stuffing, pies, etc. It was decorated with nice linens, candles, and the lights were dimmed. There were around 75 people there I think. I am not good at guessing but we'll go with it. Everyone there, for the most part, are teachers from the area. It was a good evening with the girls. My last Thanksgiving celebration was on Sunday with my "family." Potluck style as usual which consisted of me providing the desserts (Cheesecake and Pumpkin Pie) and drinks (wine, cider, and juice), Em brought mashed potatoes, Daniel prepared fruit and cheese platters, and because Joe and Trish have the amazing crockpot, they made our delicious roast! OH...and Jin Joo joined us as well. She is a middle school co-teacher and also lives in our building. She brought, what we would call, a Korean "pancake." It is made of spring onions (green onions), octopus, and shrimp that is dipped in a flour/water/sometimes egg mixture, then cooked on the stove in a pan. Joe, Trish, and Jin Joo played guitar while we visited. Afterwards, we went different ways. Em and I wanted to go for a walk to feel somewhat better about how much we ate...of which we found a HUGE outlet area close to home! Joe, Trish, and Daniel went to a JimJilBang, which is a Korean sauna. At a JimJilBang, it is open 24 hours. People can go there to sleep. Interesting...huh? The men's and women's showers are separate but then the sauna room is for both. You wear baggy shirts and shorts apparently. I will have to try it at some point. Anyways...later in the evening we met up at Joe & Trish's for dessert, which I must say, the cheesecake was DELICIOUS (not as good as yours Gma Hornick)! It was a perfect way to end our Thanksgiving week. I will post pictures soon.<br />
<br />
I think this about does it for an update, however, really quickly, I need to add that I am missing my family and friends at home. Thanksgiving week was my first moment of feeling a little homesick. Decorating my "Christmas tree" aka houseplant without having mom in the background decorating the house made me miss the little moments we don't think about too often. And not having dad's famous deviled eggs left a small sad face on my heart. Also, I thought about how I was missing the football games on t.v and bouncing from each house to see family. As crazy as the holiday season can be back home, I miss it. I will even admit, I miss Black Friday...although I ALWAYS had to work on this day, it was always a fun and memorable day.<br />
<br />
Okay, NOW I am done with the update!<br />
<br />
I love you and miss you,<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Korean pharmacy at its finest!!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>After battling with my co-workers for the last couple of weeks about going to the doctor, I finally gave in...KINDA! I went to the local pharmacy...as you can read, I STILL didn't go to the doctor...stubborn? Maybe. Does it sound just like mom and dad? MOST DEFINITELY! My friend, Keith, is in the Army and was going to get me some "American" drugs to help with my cold, but when they try to get cold medicine, they are asked a lot of questions...SO I decided to swallow my pride and head to the pharmacy today. When I walked in, they were immediately willing to help. A man that worked there got the attention of another worker that spoke English. She asked me what I needed and I tried to explain my symptoms. Looking at me a little confused, I pointed at my nose and throat. Then she asked, "Common cold?" After I nodded, she grabbed two things, some pills and little packets that looked like a powder you add to water. She explained to me that after I eat, I need to take two pills and one packet. I needed to do this three times a day. YIKES!!<br />
<br />
When I ate lunch today, I grabbed my medicine goods...I took the two pills as instructed. But then I got to the packet of powder....and realized I did not ask her HOW I needed to consume it. What the heck do I do with it? Whelp...Jessie to the rescue...I walked down the hall to Jessie's classroom and asked, "Jessie, what do I do with this?!" She looked at it and said, "Oh no, you're still sick?" LOL She told me that I needed to put it all in my mouth and as it dissolves I need to drink warm water. Jessie got some warm water for me and said the taste was very bitter so I needed to do it fast. Immediately I was reminded of Nyquil tasting like black licorice...GROSS!! BUT...I did it!! Not a good taste...it's like eating chalk...but within a few hours, at least I was feeling more awake and normal. The medicine in Korea, that I know of so far, is AMAZING!! I have taken my second set of pills and powder and feeling okay at the moment. I think that this combination along with my Tylenol PM will help me sleep well tonight. Wish me luck!!<br />
<br />
I will make sure to send an update after my Thanksgiving celebration this weekend.<br />

Saturday when I got off work, I was going to go into Suwon to see Amy but I was too exhausted...it was a good week, but a tiring week. Instead, I had dinner with co-workers then turned in early.<br />
<br />
Sunday, I had lunch with Jessie, my elementary Korean co-teacher, at her house with her mom. Her mom's Korean home-cooking was delicious!! She was very honest when telling Jessie I am horrible with chopsticks! LOL Jessie told me her mom wanted to talk more but was nervous because she cannot communicate with me. I let Jessie know that I would LOVE for her to help translate because I want to ask millions of questions. It is a win-win-win situation. Jessie gets to practice her English, I get to hear Korean (and know what is being said), and her mom gets to hear more English and is able to ask me questions too...Jessie said next time she will do that. Her mom said I was welcome any time which means I did okay with Korean etiquette. Also, during lunch, I was asking how her mom cooked the food and we got on the conversation of a microwave for rice. Since I do not have one, Jessie's mom offered to let me use their extra one. Hesitantly, I accepted graciously...like I said, they are SO kind here, always trying to help. I can't wait to have a microwave!!<br />
<br />
After lunch, Jessie took me to the place where she gets her hair cut. It is a 5 minute walk from her house. We enjoyed our conversation, getting to know each other on a friendship level, not just as co-workers. The lady that cut my hair did an AMAZING job. Not only did she cut it, she styled it, and gave me tips on how to treat my hair with humidity...she could tell my hair is not used to the weather here...what we call leave-in conditioner is called "lotion" here. She was SO nice...I will definitely go back!! AND it was only 10,000won!!! $10 for a cut and style, DEAL!! I looked at Jessie in amazement and she asked, "Is that too much?" I had to explain to her what haircuts cost all of us in the states...and then if you add color...sometimes $100 or more. Her jaw dropped and then she understood why I was so shocked at the price. I know I get an AMAZING deal in the states with my friend, Amy, but I don't think anyone can beat $10!<br />
<br />
Jessie had church at 4pm so we parted ways after my hair cut. I went to Daiso (kind of like a Dollar Tree, only better) and bought some things for my apartment; picture frames, jewelry box, basket for my makeup, bowls that match my plates and coffee mugs, wine glass for the occasion that I have a glass with Em, and a few other things. I saw an ADORABLE little girl while I was shopping. She kept staring at me and then followed me around the store. When I made eye contact with her, she got a big smile on her face and said, "Hi!" When I said Hi back she said, "Nice to meet you." Her name is Sarah and I could tell she was eager to speak English but was nervous. Her mom greeted me as well however it was Korean. Then I saw a boy with two ladies, one looked like the mom and the other the grandmother. He kept looking at me so the women told him to say Hi. Apparently I am very interesting to kids. LOL They were very nice and spoke a little English. ANYWAYS...after I got home, I cleaned a little, and set up some of the things I bought. Oh, I also bought a cute dry erase board for my future grocery list and some candles (Mark was not excited to hear this but I reassured him they are no where near my curtains and that they will only be lit when I am in the room). The dinner I made was DELICIOUS!! I must say, eating a lot of Korean food has helped my cooking skills!! I enjoyed my dinner and a movie solo. It was nice and relaxing. Then I was SPOILED by getting to talk to Mom & Mark, then Dad & Denise. Still waiting to catch Sue on Skype. <br />
<br />
Today is Monday...I talked to Matt, Juju & Carson this morning when I woke up which was an awesome way to start my "Sunday." I headed in to work to grab a couple of my books so I can lesson plan today and when I got there, everyone informed I had ANOTHER piece of mail. This time, it was from Bella!!! Yes, Bella is my cat for those of you that don't know or remember...LOL...my mom helped Bella sign the card with green food-coloring paw prints!! I can only imagine the trouble my mom had doing this. At least mom can torture her since I can't be there to do it!! It's with love though; that's the important part. Now I am in a cafe, just finished eating a half sandwich and drinking a delicious vanilla latte. I need to start lesson planning before I head to Lotte Mart (kind of like a Fred Meyer) so I can pick up a few groceries. I am hoping that I can go with Joe and Steph to Costco soon so I can buy some things in bulk (chicken, frozen veggies, fruit, etc).<br />
<br />
That is all for now...below are some pictures that will illustrate my weekend for you!!<br />
<br />

Not because they say the darndest things...well, that is one reason...but they continually challenge me, in a good way. When I am tired or my voice is hoarse and I am feeling sorry for myself, I can walk into a class, look at all of them, and immediately, I have a reality check.<br />
<br />
My kids wake up between 6-7am every morning. They have Korean public school all day, then come to English private school in the evening. They study their vocabulary and grammar in between classes or breaks, and finally get home between 11pm-12am. When they get home, they study and do homework. By the time they are done, they are finally tucking in for the night around 2am just to repeat this the next day. 6 days a week they go to school. Their one day off is Sunday which they spend doing MORE homework, going to church, reading, or getting to be what we call a "normal" kid by going outside to play soccer or baseball in the park. Not ALL kids have this schedule, but a majority.<br />
<br />
My elementary kids have the best spirits. I try my best to not have favorites...but it's inevitable that it happens. They are so full of life and excited to learn English. Middle school students are a little different. They are more challenging for me. There are some students that are awesome and like speaking English, but a lot of times, middle school students just want to speak Korean because it is comfortable for them and a lot of times they are there because their parents are making them. It is my job to keep them entertained while teaching them speaking and writing. This is my biggest challenge...which usually candy as a reward for speaking a lot in class, giving new ideas or using vocabulary, and NOT speaking Korean works wonders!! When the boys say, "MaLeah teacher, you look pretty today," they KNOW they are getting a piece of candy. Hey, if I have to bribe them to speak English, I'll do it!! LOL Now that I have been here for a month (at my school - Suji Campus), the kids have warmed up to me and I only have an issue occasionally. I am quickly learning the tricks to trick them into liking class!!<br />
<br />
As much as I hope to teach them how valuable it is to know another language, especially English as it has become a common language, I also hope to learn from them. Sometimes, outside of class, I will ask them questions about how to say something in Korean. Taking interest in their world has helped build their trust. They love listening to me mess up my Korean, another way of entertainment. Our two worlds meeting is an amazing experience. They teach me their norm as I teach them mine and they are my constant reminder of how lucky we are in the states. =)<br />

I am FINALLY moved to Suji!! It feels so good to be unpacked and I have taken one trip to the grocery store. It takes more effort considering the Home Plus Express is a few blocks from my apt...when you have a lot to carry, it's tiring...In the morning, I plan on taking a cab to E-Mart where I can do some more "intense" shopping. Also, I want to do a little "dumpster diving" to see what kind of furniture I can find. I do not have much in my apt right now. And as I stated in my previous post, as soon as I figure out the picture situation, I will post pics of my apt. I still need to get a mattress pad for my bed since it is ROCK HARD!! I have not been sleeping well, at all. Also, I need to get a pillow...I plan on checking Craigslist to see what other foreign teachers are trying to sell...I need a couch, desk, and maybe a coffee table or end tables. OH, also having a small kitchen table (that seats at least 2) would be nice as well...we'll see what I can find!!<br />
<br />
Classes are going VERY well! My kids are starting to open up to me. It feels good to have SO many kids walk by the native teacher room to come say Hi to me. It makes my day knowing that they like me and they like being in class with me. It is a hard balance to make sure the kids are interested, the co-teachers (Korean teachers) are happy with your lessons, and more importantly, the parents hear good things about school from their kids...and not to mention, making sure my employer (DYB) is happy with my performance, etc. Once I understand the balance, I am assuming things will come easy. <br />
<br />
Saturday after work, a group of us went out for my team leader, Daniel's birthday. We went bowling then had another delicious dinner at a Korean BBQ place that I have been to before. Afterwards we went to a foreigner (they call them Western) bar after. There was a pool table and dart boards. It was fun to see other foreigners and talk to them about what brought them to SK (South Korea). And it was also nice to relax with co-workers from my branch along with others. PS. My bowling skills were AMAZING! =)<br />
<br />
Since I have not been feeling well the last couple of days, I plan on laying low. Sinuses are acting up and a scratchy throat. Emily has a humidifier...I may have to get one. I have read that some people just can't handle the difference in weather here. Amy also said the same thing today when I met up with her at Suwon Station for dinner. Now that I can actually make my apt feel like home, it will be nice to just hang out. I am supposed to meet with Amy and other foreigners on Wednesday in Suwon. We will see how I am feeling...I am crossing my fingers that early bed nights and tylenol pm will do the trick. <br />
<br />
This is all I have for now. Hope everyone back home is doing well!! The one day of rain we had this past week made me miss home a little. It felt AMAZING to walk in the rain...weird, I know! I guess I am a true Oregonian ;)<br />
