My time left here in Korea is dwindling; my time teaching for this semester is coming to a close. My first few months here were filled with a lot more confusion, and interest. Essentially, all I have is a 5 day a week job (just like everybody back in the USA…), and it really feels [...]

Image via Wikipedia I ride the bus to work, I ride the bus back home… five days a week. This comes to about 500 minutes a week! So, I made a little video to show you what such a large chunk of my work week is like…
April fool’s day (in Korea: “lie day”)

In the classes I teach, this week I used the idea of April fool’s day, it turns out that April fool’s day is a well known concept to most of my students, except that they call if “Lie Day”, which in a strange way is sort of pragmatic. So to celebrate this ‘International day of [...]

Finally for this post I have another video depicting Hot Pot [...]

They also take off their shoes when entering a school. Where I work, at Gimje Middle School, I was given some slippers to [...]
Where I work (Gimje Middle School)

This is the room where I spend time between classes, create lessons and keep up with the news (online). This is also where I give my 1-on-1 lessons to the Korean English teachers I work with. This is essentially my home away from home for most of the next year.

a quick overview of my bathroom There are many small things that are different here in Korea. My bathroom is as good a place to start as any. My apartment is actually quite ingenious as to it’s use of the small amount of space I have. You may be able to see from the video [...]
