Just when I was about to despair about the crappy food situation in the cafeteria, we had a good day! A Kimchi pancake, dumplings of some sort, salad, rice and a lollipop! Although the alphabet fries left a bit to be desired as they were cold and soggy – I was told by the other teachers that rarely are alphabet fries served warm and crispy. They also told me that I will have corn soup sprinkled with cornflakes to look forward to in the near future! Yum!
After lunch I went to the Korean bank and I now have my first Korean bank account and bank card! Yay! I said "Thank You" in Korean as I left and the lady giggled at me. The Korean teacher I was with assured me that it was a happy giggle, not a "Oh my god what a Western moron" giggle.
It was another fun day of class observation today, including "Animation," "Olympics," "Homeroom," and "Drama". It was great, b/c all we did was make an animation, then play dodgeball, limbo, stella-ella-ola, duck-duck-goose and then practiced the play which the little kids will perform for their last day tomorrow.
Oh and I now know that my homeroom will be the little kids (10-12 I think). It's good b/c we get to play lots of games, but exhausting b/c they really don't understand much English. They were the kids Sarah had last year, I'll have to ask her how she did it.
Well, I am off now to meet my new Korean buddy who I will be teaching English to in exchange for Korean! So exciting!

Glad you had a good food experience and other yummy things to come!!!
You'll have a great time with the kids just be your usual animated self.
It sounds like a lot of fun and hard work,of course,fun usually is.
I finally got to sit and read your entries. Soudns like you are having a wonderful, safe, interesting, culturally expanding, time. Take notes on recipies so we can make these yummies when you get back. The pics are really great because they let us see what you see and give us a little feel for what you are really doing, and going! Can't wait to keep hearing about it all~
