It's high time I made this final post and said farewell to the Korea Chronicles.<br />

My last few days in Korea were crazy and hectic, between packing and mailing boxes home, donating everything else to my bishop and the missionaries, finishing travel arrangements for the next three and half weeks spent in four different Asian countries, and tying up loose ends at my school.<br />
<br />
If I remember correctly, I don't think I was all that sad to be saying goodbye. If anything, it just felt a little strange to know I was seeing streets and stores and restaurants for possibly the last time...ever. But walking away from teaching? Am I a despicable human if I admit to having no tears there? And the bitter, icy wind? Wow, I couldn't wait to get to the 80<span style="background-color: white; color: #59595b; font-family: 'Noto Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">°+ </span>Philippine weather.<br />

I met some pretty cool people in Korea. The mostly sweet, very persistent, Jehovah's witnesses took me to lunch on one of my last days. I requested dak galbi, of course. It's maybe the only Korean meal I will miss. (And, in exchange for lunch, I patiently sat through a little bit of the Jehovah's witnesses' ministering, complete with pamphlets and a book of scripture I agreed to not throw away... Huh, it's sad how many things get misplaced in the process of moving from one country to another...)</div>

My basement, and the path I took to the laundry room. My camera flash makes it look like a nicely-lit space...well, it's not. I had to walk in the dark until just before I reached the laundry room (the doorway at the end on the right) and then, finally, an automatic light would flicker on--if I was lucky. Yeah...the creepiness got my blood pumping more than once...</div>

Teaching was an experience, one I will never forget. I learned so much, one of the biggest things being how to let go and just let the kids be wild from time to time. Or every day. Pictured below in the red coat (and doing a fancy one-legged stand) is one of my favorite 1st graders, the one I'd have shouting matches down the hallway with: "<i>Baby teacher!</i>" "Baby student!" "<i>Baby teacher!</i>" </div>

After dinner, my bishop dropped me back off at my apartment and I loaded up their car with everything I had bought over the last 6 months and couldn't take with me--bedding, silverware, hangers, storage bins, art supplies--you name it. I even gave Sunny my little purse that I didn't want to take with me and a bottle of nail polish (unplanned, but I couldn't help it after seeing her admiring my makeup on my nightstand).</div>

Korea, overall, you've been a pretty awesome home away from home. Thank you so much for this incredible experience. Thank you for teaching me, embracing me, and giving me skills I will have for the rest of my life. Thank you for training me to handle stressful situations completely on my own (well, and with the help of Google Maps). Thank you for giving me confidence to go anywhere and do anything. I can't wait for my next opportunity to travel solo. I now know that I am tough enough to hack it. And that's an amazing feeling.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">What to do if you get a UTI (urinary tract infection) in Korea:</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Part One: ER visit</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Panic momentarily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Remember that Korea has amazing healthcare (*phew*).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Go to the emergency room at 2:00 a.m. (the best time to go to an emergency room in Korea, based on my experience...)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Give your Korean name to the guy at the front desk ("Um..sir. I think you're mistaken. Despite appearances, I'm not Asian. ...can I give you my American name??").</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Explain to the ER doctor that you have <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">피 (</span>pi/ blood) in your pee. Or mime. (Down here. Ouchie.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Be escorted to the bathroom by an Asian nurse who mimes "pee in this here cup."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9. Realize that, in addition to your UTI symptom of urgency, you drank gallons of water before coming to the hospital.</span></div>

<h4>
Part Two: Gynecologist visit</h4>
1. Walk back to the hospital (this time in daylight), clutching your paper that hopefully has the correct translation for Gynecologist.<br />
2. Stand in the chaotic lobby, hoping you'll magically find a sign that says "IF YOUR NAME IS AUBREE AND YOU HAVE A UTI, ENTER HERE."<br />
3. Have a random nurse spot you, glance at your paper (thank you, google translate), and escort you to the land of vaginas and babies (the tiny 3-room gynecology department).<br />
4. Wait on a plush bench and look around.<br />

5. Visit with the doctor. ("Where you from? Why you here?")<br />
6. Have both the doctor and the nurse babble at you, trying to get you to confirm that you have dysuria. Yes, it's ouchie.<br />
7. Visit some more with the doctor, look at his large atlas of Utah, as well as a dozen other state maps. (He's visiting the Western United States next year for a month and a half,)<br />
8. Say goodbye to the doctor, wait for nurse to print up prescription and bill.<br />
9. Have the doctor come back out with even more maps. ("Wow, sir, so many maps. Wyoming, eh? That'll be...exciting...")<br />
10. Learn that the reason for the doctor's trip is that he's retiring. ("I'm 70 years old."--he looked about 55 or 60, wow!)<br />
11. Pay bill. (23,000 won)<br />
12. Get antibiotic shot. In your butt, duh. (slap, slap)<br />
<br />
<h4>
Part Three: Pharmacy visit</h4>
1. Walk 10 feet next door to the pharmacy.<br />
2. Drink the complimentary healthy Korean beverage and wait for all of 5 minutes for them to fill the prescription.<br />

Yup, I am very satisfied with Korea today. Korean healthcare is awesome. And so cheap. (Not that it matters, because I'm on my school's insurance and it will get reimbursed anyway...)</div>

Moral of the story: get sick or injured in Korea.</div>

<br />TaLK Reunion</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago, the TaLK program had a reunion with all current scholars (350 of us total). We stayed at the Imperial Palace hotel in Gangnam. Fancy shmancy place. The Christmas decorations in the lobby were the best part.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wF6Hn-Era2WuGJHwMRFpzog0vDWm9SiffnjZDIZq35UkxFaCvsCba4Pea3u8yD2uZCEgsu6iXRjDiRYgLwo8MAcXP4N4LQzdrbGtHgMcdr8T3UQ1ldUDHDZM7sujm7YZ8c_4ShmtT1o/s1600/DSCN3058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wF6Hn-Era2WuGJHwMRFpzog0vDWm9SiffnjZDIZq35UkxFaCvsCba4Pea3u8yD2uZCEgsu6iXRjDiRYgLwo8MAcXP4N4LQzdrbGtHgMcdr8T3UQ1ldUDHDZM7sujm7YZ8c_4ShmtT1o/s640/DSCN3058.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The TaLK program took us on several cultural outings, including to the DMZ and 3rd infiltration tunnel. *sigh* "You mean I have to go to North Korea again?? Okaaaay..."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tunnel was kind of cool (I wasn't allowed to take pictures, though). You have to wear hard hats because the ceilings are quite low (most of the time in the tunnel is spent arched over, actually). The tunnel is narrow, too, so I don't recommend this activity for claustrophobic folks. Anyway, you walk a ways and then you get to the North Korean border and there's a little window and you can look through to North Korean's side of the tunnel (ohmygosh). And then you walk back out. Cool, huh? </div>

We went to the coolest interactive art performance! Oh my gosh, it was so fun. I don't think I've ever been so thoroughly entertained and mesmerized. These 4 guys called The Painters put on a 2-hour show of comedy acts and dance routines--all set to music and all while they painted and drew awesome pictures on stage. </div>

I was super excited about it! I hope they liked it. I had a bit of an adventure getting it to their apartment...Note to self: do not hop on random buses and expect them to take you closer to your destination... So, yeah, I walked for a long time. But, on the plus side, I ran into some random strangers who (I think) told me I'm beautiful and wanted to know if I was an English teacher and where I was from. They were very nice, though I thought it was kind of funny how they kept jabbering in Korean like I just maybe might be fluent. Smile and nod.</div>

I spent Christmas Eve at a member's home in Pyeongtaek (near one of the US military bases). The family who lives there was out of town for the holidays, so they invited the YSA group to stay over and use their lovely abode. We played games, ate delicious food, listened to Christmas music, watched White Christmas, and exchanged gifts. It was probably as good a Christmas as I could have had in Korea. It almost felt like being home. </div>

And then we lounged and played games and watched White Christmas. And I took a little nap. Because my night of sleep on a partially-deflated air mattress in an unheated bedroom was less than perfect. But, hey, I never sleep that great on Christmas Eve anyway, so it just made it feel all the more like home.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I barely caught a bus back to Chuncheon in time. Like, with half a second to spare. Otherwise I would have had twice the travel time by subway or train. So that was lucky. And then I got to Skype my amazing family bright and early on December 26th (for me). And that was super duper great to be a part of that. But...I'm already looking forward to next Christmas. Living in another country sure makes you grateful for what you have at home, especially holiday traditions and strong family relationships. And dishwashers, vacuums, Walmart, and my sewing machine. I miss those things too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On Sunday, Ju Yul came to visit me. We went to church in my Chuncheon ward. (Ju Yul knew one of the Korean missionaries, actually. But that's not super surprising, because the church is fairly small in Korea--apparently everyone knows everyone.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to play the piano in sacrament meeting! That was fun. It was harder than I thought it would be, though, trying to keep time to Korean words and off-key voices. Also, good thing I can read Korean well enough that I could tell what verse they were on...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also on Sunday, a new Korean member was confirmed. I was lucky enough that I actually went to her baptism on Saturday night! In attendance were the bishop and his wife and daughter, 6 elder missionaries, 4 sisters, 2 members of the ward, a friend or two, and me. The bishop said it was the biggest turnout for a baptism he's ever seen in the ward. The girl who was baptized was first introduced to the Gospel when she attended the free English classes the missionaries offer. What an awesome missionary tool! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, it was so neat to be there to support her and witness her baptism. It was a very spiritual experience, like any convert baptism. And the missionaries sang Come Thou Fount in Korean, which was beautiful. But then they sang the last verse in English and I was tearing up, like major big time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, and on Sunday, the bishop told me that the new member is going to be called to play the piano. So I'm scheduled to give her a little lesson this Friday night so she can learn some hymns. I'm excited. :)</div>

I used my Jeju hallabong honey to marinate and glaze the bird. I cooked the chicken too long, so it was a little dry. But with some additional Jeju honey on top, it was delicious!</div>

Jeju is a beautiful island. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and cold the whole time. It even snowed a little bit one of the days. But an all-paid trip to a tropical island that got me out of teaching for a few days? I'm not complaining.<br />

The large mountain of rocks in the middle is a representation of the giant goddess, Seolmundae Halmang. She is the goddess credited for making the island of Jeju. The other rock mountains in this picture represent her 500 sons (she was a busy lady). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
According to legend, Seolmundae Halmang was making a large pot of soup one day while her sons were out hunting. Seolmundae Halmang--that distracted woman--accidentally fell in the pot and drowned. When her sons returned, they hungrily ate the meal, including dear Mother. The last son discovered his mother's bones at the bottom of the pot. Overcome with grief, he and his bros turned to stone.</div>

I was cold and tired and distracted at this museum. And the back and forth between the Korean tour guide and my POE coordinator who translated for us was exhausting.

Now get out of my way, I have a second dinner to consume. (PSH!)</div>

First, they served us abalone porridge/soup and this dark brown drink on the left. They told me it was non-alcoholic, so I toasted with everyone else and took a sip. Only to realize I had just swallowed the most bitter, salty, disgusting thing ever. "What is this?" we asked. "Oh, it's horse bone marrow, no big deal." Oh my gosh, gross.</div>

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm saying this, but this barbecued horse meet was to die for! It was so delicious. Horse meat has a really sweet mellow taste, almost like a cross between beef and mutton. Someone said it's like venison, too. I loved it. I, um, would have horse steak all the time, I think...if I lived in Jeju, that is--it doesn't seem to be socially acceptable to eat horse in a lot of other places...</div>

I would love to go to Jeju during a warmer time of year. I doubt I'll ever make it back here, though, so I am grateful I had this opportunity with TaLK. It was a nice little vacation from my crazy children, too. That might have just been the best part...</div>

My school had a Fall Festival a few weeks ago. The kids were so cute in their performances. It was fun to see all the parents in attendance --they are so proud of their children. (I wonder if they know how badly behaved some of them are....) I was able to meet a few of the parents in passing after the performance, so that was kind of cool. (My celebrity status has remained the same over the past few months.)</div>

A couple weekends ago, I went to Seoul (are you shocked??). I met my Korean friend from Daegu and we went and saw the lantern festival. It was...okay. Not super exciting, but it was fun to hang out with a Korean who, you know, speaks fluent Korean. It sure made ordering dinner easy (we had Chicago-style pizza--ie, it was normal).</div>

Well...it was entirely too flimsy. And fell over and broke a few days later. But good news: I went to Home Plus last week and they had an even bigger selection of Christmas decor. And I found a small tree for only 10,000 won (among other exciting goodies, like Mountain Dew)!</div>

Articles make awesome text for graphic t-shirts, don't you think? [This photo comes to you at great personal cost to me: as I was laughing with mom and snapping the photo, the store-owner came over with an extremely sour face, ripped the shirt out of my hand and put it back in its place on the rack.

My little 1st grade perfectionist. He often stays after class to finish a project (not that I even grade coloring pages or anything). The funny thing, though, is he never wants to take home the finished product. Haha. I don't get it.<br />

This was in Seoul near our last hotel of Mom's trip. Looks like a yummy noodle dish, right? Nope, not even close. It was a cold, sour soup of, yes, noodles, but also kimchi and radishes. So disgusting. (My stomach is churning just looking at it...) This picture is exactly how we left the bowl when we left the restaurant... </div>

Aww, goodbye Mom. I took her to Incheon the next morning :( That trip went way too fast. It was so awesome having my mom with me. She's awesome for traveling all that way and for putting up with me and a small apartment and a bed on the floor...not to mention helping me with all those cookies and Halloween parties. Thank you! Love you tons, Mom!</div>

Mom and I said goodbye to our nice hotel and lugged 2 large suitcases (50 lbs. each), 1 small suitcase, 1 backpack, and 2 purses on the subway to our hostel in Seoul. If you were wondering, it was awful. Especially the part where we realized the subway exit did not have an elevator. Thankfully, a strong (possibly attractive) Korean man kindly helped us up the last two flights of stairs. Thank goodness for attractive, er, I mean nice Koreans.</div>

Oh...speaking of hostel rules: we weren't allowed to flush toilet paper down the toilet. We had to put it in the trash can. You have no idea how many times I forgot and had to fish my toilet paper out of the toilet. I blame mom some of the time: she'd be saying something to me through the door, I'd get distracted, <i>wipe</i> and <i>drop</i>...ugh...dang it...</div>

Hahaha...a jjimjilbang. Duh. This time, I paid $30 and had a half-naked Korean ajjuma scrub me down with exfoliating gloves. Weirdest thing ever and super funny. But it was just something I had to do once. Plus, it was nice to shed all that dead skin that you had no idea was clinging to you...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hahaha...oh...asking the ajjuma for a scrub was super awkward. They do scrubs and massages and all those services 24/7. But when they have no customers, the ajjumas sleep or watch TV in a little room outside the shower/bath room. So...here we are, naked and dripping wet after our first shower, and we had to wake up a sleeping ajjuma who doesn't understand a word of English. Luckily, another jjimjilbang patron saw our distress and did the awkward "waking of an ajjuma masseuse while I am naked" thing for us. Koreans are so nice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The jjimjilbang was super hot and stuffy, so I sweat all night again. On a hard floor. With a styrofoam block beneath my head. Uhh...I'm getting kind of sick of jjimjilbangs...lesbihonest.</div>

[Actually, haha, one of my 1st-grade students came to class one day this week with a container and two giant snails in it. It must have been "show-and-tell of your pets" day. But, oh my gosh, the snails were huge! Like, the shell alone was the size of my fist and then the body was the size of my other fist. And to think I high-fived this kid after class (my normal end-of-the-day routine). Yuck. I washed that hand quickly.]</div>

We met our other friend, Araceli, at a pizza place where she was at nearby. Araceli and Cris are both bilingual and speak Spanish. There was a table of Spanish-speakers next to us and we were trying to guess where they were from because they had non-Mexican accents (according to Araceli and Cris). We were just saying they couldn't be Colombian, when the guy at the table heard us and turns around, "Actually, we are Colombian." Anyway, Araceli and Cris talked to the group for awhile and, come to find out, it's the Colombian ambassador and his family. Super nice people, not that I understood any of the Spanish. (I'm kind of used to not understanding language around here, though...)</div>

This wasn't even the worst of it. Later on this night, Cris and I took the subway on our way to a jjimjilbang. There were soooo many people. I have never been in a crowd that big. People just kept cramming in the subway car and pushed us clear up to the doors. It was insane. Poor Cris got super claustrophobic and we made a hurried exit at the next stop and took a taxi the rest of the way...</div>

This was probably the coolest experience I've had in Korea thus far. The weather thankfully cooperated and the rain stopped before we got on the river. It was actually perfect weather and surprisingly not too cold. And the night lights from the river were amazing! Oh, it was so cool! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We kayaked to one bridge and back to another and then back to the dock. Just enough to make my shoulders sore and work up an appetite for Korean fried chicken, which was delivered to the kayaking place as part of our deal. So yummy!</div>

I stayed Saturday night with one of the YSA girls in Seoul and then we met up with some more girls at another apartment today to watch a session of conference (Korea watches it a week later than Utah). And then I came home to Chuncheon (I slept the whole train ride back).</div>

On Tuesday afternoon, Cris and I took a bus from Yesan to Seoul. This Korean guy found a comfortable pillow in my shoulder for part of the ride up. I pretended to be asleep most of the time to spare us both the awkwardness of him waking up and realizing he was leaning on me... Haha.</div>

Once in Seoul, I met up with a friend I met at the YSA Conference last weekend. His name's Lawson. He's in the Air Force. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures with him. Anyway, we went to a Korean cemetary/tomb place in the Gangnam area. It was a gorgeous, foresty park in the middle of the huge city. I love that about Seoul, that you can find so many scenic parks tucked in between huge skyscrapers and busy freeways.</div>

I specifically chose the one on the menu with cooked beef, as opposed to the more common raw beef bibimbap. Bibimbap originated in Jeonju and has become a signature dish in Korea. It is rice with a spicy red sauce and a whole bunch of random vegetables. Quite good, but nothing I'd crave at home.</div>

There was a full moon festival Monday evening (but we missed it, because of our travel arrangments, lame). But at least I got to participate in the decorating for the festival, haha. I made a little tissue paper pom-pom for this sign thingie (it spells something in Hangul, but I don't know what).</div>

Potato pizza...it would have been good...but the yellow stuff in the cheese rolls is sweet potato, and it just tasted too weird. Too sweet for pizza. To make up for our less-than-satisfactory dinner, we got Baskin Robbins. Obviously.</div>

This last weekend was Chuseok. It's Korea's version of Thanksgiving. The best part about Chuseok for me was having two days off of school. Cris and I traveled to Jeonju for the long weekend (about a 4 hour bus ride for me from Chuncheon).</div>

Me and Cris with Araceli, another TaLK scholar who lives in Jeonju. We hung out with her just for a couple hours at this restaurant (she spent the rest of her Chuseok in Seoul, like many of the TaLK scholars--I'm lucky I'm so close to Seoul and can travel there any weekend, not just over vacation).</div>

You gotta love the Korean b-boy groups. Er...don't blame me if you hear some swears in the song in the video. Koreans don't really pay attention to English lyrics. If they did, I don't think they'd let their kids listen to those songs. As it is, I hear F-words in songs playing at the supermarket...haha.</div>

It was very comfortable. Well, for being a traditional Korean home, which means we slept on floor mats...</div>

We did get to watch some Korean cartoons, though...</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We had another <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; line-height: 18.2px;">회식 (</span>Hweshik/school dinner) last night. I think these dinners are so fun, even if they're awkward at times. The menu was...interesting. Not the most delicious, but edible. Well, maybe not the side dishes:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These are silkworm larvae. My mentor teacher asked me to try one. So I did. It was a little bit crunchy, and then a chalky/chewy center. The flavor was really strong and salty and there's nothing I can really compare it too. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't go for seconds. My mentor teacher ate most of the bowl--she loves these things. She was telling me they are seen at fairgrounds and amusement parks a lot--at "happy places," in her words. My happy place probably wouldn't include silkworm larvae...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another side dish (not pictured) was little hard-boiled spotty bird's eggs (I think). I didn't dare try them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, the main dish. This was a "medium" bowl (they serve a size larger), but a medium was gigantic. One of these dishes was shared between four people: </div>

It was a hodgepodge of seafood and noodles and bean sprouts. The seafood that I recognized was octopus, crab, and shrimp. Then there were fish eggs (the brain-looking things) and some sort of crustacean with prongs and antennae-things (I didn't try it, because I couldn't tell what part of it was edible and what was its shell). The dish was incredibly spicy, but the flavor was okay. </div>

The green bottle you can see is Cider (Sprite). Soju comes in a very similar-looking green bottle, so you have to be careful. But my whole school is so polite about my not wanting to drink alcohol. My vice principal wanted to do the Korean shot thing with me during the meal last night, so he specifically got a brand new bottle of Cider from the waitress and a clean shot glass and brought it to me so we could share and do our shots. Haha, it was so sweet of him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I finally worked up the courage at this Hweshik to take pictures. I think I've waited long enough that they won't think it's rude. I asked first, and my mentor teacher just laughed and said, "Of course!")</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now I can take pictures of school lunch, too! Here's today's: </div>

Not the most exciting of the meals we've had, but it was pretty basic. Top left: imagine sweet and spicy spaghetti-os (so...not that good). Then fish sticks, peach juice, my wimpy 2 pieces of radish kimchi, tofu/vegetable broth-y soup, and bean sprout rice with a really yummy sauce. I can't wait to take more pictures of lunch to show you guys! Stay tuned.</div>

Other school stuff:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had school pictures today. The faculty did a picture all together. There were three rows of people. I was in the back row, standing on chairs. I was standing next to the cute older janitor lady. As we were starting to smile and pose, she reached out and grabbed my hand and we held hands for the rest of the pictures. Haha. It was the sweetest gesture. My school really has been so kind to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had badminton with my school again today. I'm getting better and they compliment me a lot. With the language barrier, I still feel like I'm treated like a child, but it's just comical to me, not offensive. Yeah...who knew that I'd ever become a badminton player??</div>

Ahh! I just love it. It's not sweatshirt weather yet, but it's going to be so comfy and perfect when it is. It was green, only 12,000 won, and had an awesomely random English phrase--so Korean. Love it.</div>

Before coming to Korea, I'd have never thought it would be acceptable for me to go to a movie theater by myself. That kind of thing relegates someone to the bottom rung of society, right? Yeah...well, that's probably still true in Korea...so, it's a good thing I'm not Korean...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was the only blonde in the whole theater. But, the movie was in my language, not theirs. Hmph. ;) So I was right at home. (I saw Maze Runner: Scorch Trials.)</div>

So many mushrooms. Some were huge, too. Ah, if only I had taken my "Plants and Fungi" class in Korea... </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Saturday-Sunday:</span></b> YSA Conference in Seoul</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend turned out to be so great! I was able to meet about 25 Young Single Adults (mostly Americans) living in Korea. A handful of people are in the military and most everyone else is teaching English in some form or another. Some of the YSA have been here several years. Such a stellar group of people, though. Really fun and friendly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A brief run-down of our weekend schedule:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>We met for breakfast at Brother and Sister Tollett's house in Seoul (they are members in the English branch).</li>
<li>We went to a park for a service project, which was serving food to old people. We just had to walk around and distribute already-filled trays to them. The excitement happened when we were serving dessert (traditional rice cakes) and all these old people started fighting to get theirs first. And they all kept putting their plates out for more, even after we had given them huge piles of these rice cakes. Haha...the impatience was quite entertaining.</li>
<li>We hung out at the park and got to know each other a little. And then we split up in groups of 4 or 5 for a photo scavenger hunt around Seoul. Pretty awesome: how often do you get to do photo scavenger hunts in <i>Seoul, South Korea</i>?! My group was awesome. We got pictures of Seoul Tower, World Cup Stadium, Haneul Park, and a Jehovah's Witness missionary (you got points if you happened to run into any missionaries...and, well, they didn't specify what religion...haha). Half my group also got pictures with some LDS missionaries, but I was in the other half that returned early so we wouldn't be deducted points for being late.</li>
<li>We went back to the Tollett's for dinner, which was amazing and American: barbecue chicken, baked beans, potato salad, pasta salad, rice krispie treats, no-bake cookies, key-lime pie...we were in absolute heaven.</li>
<li>The branch president gave a mini-fireside address. Um, I maybe don't remember if it was good or not because I had taken some Benadryl (stupid, but I was desperate for some cold/congestion relief and my cold medicine wasn't working) and I was crashing hard...I barely stayed awake.</li>
<li>We watched a slide show of all our scavenger hunt photos. My team ended up winning, by the way, because we got photos with 3 different sets of missionaries (they counted the Jehovah's Witness, because we did missionary work and gave her a pass-along card...hehe).</li>
<li>We went to individual homes where we had been assigned to stay. My new friend, Jackie, and I stayed with a cute family of four in their super nice apartment. We slept in the toy room on air mattresses, haha.</li>
<li>Breakfast with our host family! Mm, bacon and eggs. So delicious.</li>
<li>Church and a special YSA Conference meeting 2nd hour.</li>
<li>Lunch after church and mass exodus to the subway to catch our transportation home.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I don't have all the pictures collected from friends yet, so this is just a preview of things I saw and did:</div>

This was at the park where we had our service project. We were hanging out near this field and an old couple came and started a game of croquet. The old lady was so funny. She would barely miss the wicket (I thing that's what it's called?) and yell and stomp her feet in frustration. And, then, when she would make her goal, she would cheer and taunt her opponent. She was the cutest. Almost like the Korean version of Grandma Workman.</div>

A premium gift set of pure canola oil. What I'm going to do with all this canola oil, I have no idea. A lot of baking, I guess...in my...toaster...oven...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gifts like this aren't customary for principals to give their staff for Chuseok, but my principal is just a super nice guy. And so nice to include me in his gift-giving! I have been so warmly welcomed by [most] of the staff at my school. :)</div>

Oh, before I forget to tell you, lunch today was terrible. The fish soup was okay, but I couldn't stomach the kimchi radishes...and then we had soggy, cold, slimy, spicy eggplant. Ugh. So gross. I couldn't do it. I felt bad, but it just wasn't going to happen. Especially not after my spoiled weekend of American food...</div>

Teaching English is a lot of work. I'm not sure how rewarding it is, yet. Haha. But I love interacting with the kids outside of class. They're adorable when I don't have to force them to sit in desks.</div>

Lunch is always fun. (And, it was super delicious today: a huge bowl of noodles with egg and carrots, kimchi, honeydew melon, and a corn dog!) Today, I sat with the 1st graders. One of the girls kept watching me eat. I'd catch her looking and she'd smile at me. We did that a few times, haha. Also at lunch, one of my 2nd graders came up and high-fived me loudly. The faculty sitting next to me laughed. (I may have found a high-fiver replacement for Josh. Only temporary, of course.)</div>

Yesterday, some of my 4th grade girls stayed a little bit longer after class. I let them show me a Korean TV show on YouTube. It was a "scary" reality show about ghosts. Like a lot of Korean shows, though, it had the feel of a cheesy game show. Haha. But I humored my students and watched for a little bit anyway--bonding time, you know. </div>

Oh! My 5th grade girls visited me in my classroom one day last week and had me play a K-pop music video. They made me wait 'til it got to the part where the main singer rips off his shirt. They didn't know the English for it, but they mimed that he had really good abs. Haha. And then they all screamed when it got to that part. I was cracking up.</div>

I wore my hair down the other day (usually it's in a ponytail) and the 5th and 6th grade girls went crazy, "Whaaa! Whoa!" Well, I'm assuming their reaction was because of my straight hair...maybe I just had something on my shirt or forgot to put on pants that day.</div>

I've been rewarding my classes this week with small prizes because they reached their 10 sticker mark. My treasure box is full of pencils, erasers, candies, and a handful of US pennies. They got excited when they saw them. "Money?!" And then they found out how much they were worth...haha...</div>

Yesterday, I had to show up for a parent meeting thing at school. I was introduced to the parents who came (only about 10 or so), along with the new vice principal and another new teacher. While I had been waiting for it to start, though, one of the moms came up to me and asked if I had eaten "lunchee" and then gave me this rice cake snack/dessert:</div>

Haha...sometimes Koreans are too nice. I saved it and tried it today. I took one tiny bite and decided, eh, I'd rather have a choco pie. I've had similar rice cake things before. They're edible, but not great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But that mom was so nice. I've run into her a couple times before. Her son's in 1st grade. She's so proud of him. He's a cutie, too.</div>

A different mom visiting yesterday saw me in the cafeteria and exclaimed something in Korean. One of the lunch ladies translated, "beautiful." Haha. The mom returned her tray and then came back and stood in front of my table and just stared at me and smiled while I was eating. Awkward...and flattering, I think?</div>

Oh, so I realized today that my grocery store only carries individually wrapped rubber cheese. So I had a rubber cheese sandwich for dinner. Blegh. And then a little package of Ritz-like crackers called Zec and...wait for it...a choco pie.</div>

All the members were so nice in this ward. Most of the people are here with their families for a military assignment. One couple works for the embassy. And there are a handful of English teachers, like me, who work at Hagwons and public schools (though, most of them live in the Seoul area). I was almost to church, following Google maps, when a cute family in a van pulled up and asked if I was trying to find the church. I climbed into their van, between two carseats, and they drove me the rest of the way (which was only half a block, haha...). But it was nice to make some friends and walk in with people who knew where they were going. Because check out the size of this massive building:</div>

I think it is the biggest church building that's not a temple that I've ever seen. It's beautiful. Kind of juxtaposed from its surroundings (ok, I've never used the word "juxtaposed" before, so the grammar may be incorrect...don't judge me, ahem, Josh).</div>

I stayed longer after church to socialize with some of the English teachers. Actually, a handful of them have ukulele lessons after church with one of the senior missionaries. So I just listened. And sang some of the songs when pressured to by the senior missionary, haha. Also, I learned that there is a single's activity/overnight thing next weekend with some spiritual fireside-y stuff and games and meals. I'm going to go! I'm so excited. And one of the girls is letting me stay at her apartment so I won't have to sleep on the floor (because all the beds are already taken at the house where it's taking place). Also, she let me know that I can stay at her apartment anytime so I won't have to have anymore of my jjimjilbang-under-maintenance adventures. :)</div>

Mmm...Indian food. And I didn't have to speak Korean! The chicken masala was extremely spicy. I choked on a jalapeno before realizing that's what it was and almost died. I was crying. But it was so nice to eat in a non-Korean restaurant. (But still no tipping...gotta love that.)</div>

I booked a ferry cruise online a few days ago. (One reason why I was randomly hanging out at parks earlier--because I had to wait for the cruise which was at 7:30.) There was a wide range of tourists and Koreans who rode the ferry with me. But definitely a lot of couples. You could even walk through this cute love tunnel and take pictures, like this Korean couple: </div>

Yeah, an early Happy Halloween to you! Part way into the ride, I realized I had chosen a seat right in front of some lovely spiders. I was kind of fixated watching them spin their webs. But, also, it gave me the heebie jeebies. I felt responsible to monitor them, too, because people would come and stand against the railing--little kids, too. </div>

Well. Ta-da! That was it. My long 2-day weekend in Seoul. I rushed back to the subway (2 transfers) and caught my 10 pm ITX back to Chuncheon. I'm becoming so pro at this public transportation thing. Ah, so independent. So mature.</div>

I knew I wanted to go to the English speaking LDS branch in Seoul this Sunday, so I decided to stay overnight and made an itinerary of things for me to see. I traveled all weekend completely by myself. So much independence... *sniffle*... I'm so grown up. I took ITX and subways and buses all weekend. I went the wrong direction on the subway once, but I just calmly got off and returned the way I came. No big deal. (Seriously, so grown up.)<br />

Jungang Market, Yeongdeungpo</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Jungang Market is huge. I think you could wander it for hours. And get really lost. (I did, but thank goodness for Google maps on my phone!) I probably barely skimmed the surface with what I explored. </span></div>

Ok, this was actually outside before I entered the market. Just a lady selling produce on the street, chilling with her cute dog.</div>

Live crab. The guy at this fish stand/store (whatever you'd call it) was amused that I was taking a picture (I looked so touristy). He said hello to me in English (random people on the street love to say "hello" and "how are you"--probably the only English they know). Then an older lady started talking to me in Korean, probably trying to sell me the crab, so I just shook my head and smiled and moved along.</div>

Ahh, this picture is blurry because I was trying to be discreet and was still walking. But this lady was sewing at an old sewing machine in one of the alleyways of the market. I'll have to go back when I go through my sewing withdrawals and see if she wants an assistant, hehe.<br />

The market "restaurants" where women are cooking--well, I don't really know what they were cooking. Some things looked edible. Some didn't. </div>

I ended up buying these fried fish pieces for lunch. Ahh, I need to learn Korean! I didn't know how to communicate with the ladies and they ended up giving me 6 of these pieces for $2 when I just wanted 2 of the fish. They were good, but not amazing, so I ended up throwing some out later. (In a restroom garbage can...oh my goodness, I'm probably going to go to the Korean Hell for people who don't properly dispose of their food waste...but Seoul doesn't believe in public trash cans, and who wants to carry around greasy fish in their backpack all weekend?)</div>

Okay. So...I've seen this several times in public restrooms now. Well, usually the soap is always just a communal bar. But sometimes, if you're really lucky (sarcasm), your bar is stuck on a rod thing and you just have to, er, rub it to get some soap on your hands. I won't repeat what my Scottish TaLK friend called it.</div>

So, it was maybe a little sketch, me traveling these alleys by myself. As I was walking through the area, I thought, "my mom would not like me doing this." But, it was daylight, and the area didn't feel any more dangerous than my neighborhood in Chuncheon, which I have walked through at night. Korea is a very safe country and people are very friendly, but, most of the time, shy.</div>

The owner had already left for the night (they don't keep the front desk manned 24/7 like in the states) so I had to call him and tell him I had paid for a room.

From this picture, you would think I'm an awesome teacher: happy and excited to see my kids. Unfortunately, most of the time classroom management is nonexistent. My 1st graders are out of control. I usually start the day out well...but end with a headache and discouraging thoughts...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, I yelled "be quiet" super loudly in my 1st grade class and got complete silence for about 5 seconds. But I felt so sick to my stomach after yelling. I don't want to be the bad guy. I don't want to be that teacher. And half the class are little angels, so cute and sweet and so willing to learn. I wish I could communicate that I wasn't yelling at them. I was yelling at a group of about 6 boys who were climbing on tables and sitting under the tables and yelling and running around and fighting with each other...Gaaah! I had had it. I lost patience and yelled. :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I kind of got upset with my Korean co-scholar, too, for not enforcing rules and helping me out more. He said, "Ok, ok." like he understood...but then just stood there and did nothing to help me. Gaaah...seriously frustrating. From his point of view and from my students' point of view, I'm probably such a monster. :(</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh well. Haha. I will figure it out. I know other scholars are experiencing the exact same things, so I'm definitely not alone in my struggles. It should get better with time. Right??</div>

It was cloudy and a little rainy today. The mountains are so gorgeous in this weather. In this picture, I think you can see the tents set up for the Tomato Cooking Competition Festival? Haha, I just saw posters for it near the train station. A whole festival for tomatoes. Huh. Oh, in Korea, cherry tomatoes are definitely considered a fruit. They are often served on fruit trays or in fruit cups, alongside bananas and pineapple and apples...it's odd.</div>

Other random things I've wanted to tell you about life in Korea:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
--Spitting on the streets is very common and apparently completely acceptable, for both men and women. When I say spitting, I mean the whole "loudly clear your throat, work up every bit of phlegm from all corners of your respiratory tract, and violently dispose of said phlegm." It doesn't matter who's around or how close they are, feel free to hock a loogie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
--Slurping soup and eating noisily is also acceptable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
--There is a guard who works at the bottom of the hill at school. I think he patrols what cars enter the school property. Every day as I walk up the hill, he tips his hat and bows to me. I always bow back, but then I do this dumb thing where I want to tip my hat too...except I'm...not...wearing...a...hat... So I just look really dumb putting my hand up to my forehead while I nod. You'd think I would have learned after the first time, too. But nope, no, I didn't. Almost every day we have this exchange.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
--I wish I had taken pictures of all the meals I've eaten at school. I think you'd be amazed at the things I've actually put in my mouth, chewed up, and swallowed--and sometimes even enjoyed. I eat weird soups with tiny stringy mushrooms (so many different mushroom here in Korea) and gelatinous brown salty tofu-like blocks and kimchi radishes and mustardy-vinaigrette soaked chicken (I think) and mushy seafood biscuit things. Haha...it's an adventure. But I do really well and, for the most part, clear my tray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ahh, well...I should go to bed. I have a busy weekend planned. I'm going to Seoul, mostly so I can go to the English-speaking ward on Sunday (maybe scout for young and single military men, hehe...jk). But I've planned a whole itinerary for myself to go and explore the area near the church. And...I'm going to be on my own. Wish me luck! I've done my research, though, and I'm super excited for the places I'll be going (Costco Wholesale made the list). Anyway, look forward to lots of pictures and stories after the weekend. </div>

There was a free K-Pop festival/concert in Seoul this weekend at Seoul Olympic Stadium. It was so amazing! So fun. Before coming to Korea, I had never heard of K-Pop. But these are huge stars here (they're known worldwide, actually, I just haven't been into Korean culture until now).</div>

We left McDonald's and were on our way to find a jjimjilbang when a group of Korean guys, all around my age, came up and asked me if they could take a picture with me. Haha, um, sure... They asked if I was here traveling. I told them I'm an English teacher, and they were like, "Wow, it's such an honor to meet you." Haha. And then one of the guys (his name is SuBin) asked for my facebook information. So, now I have a Korean friend in Gangnam, haha. I don't know why they wanted my picture. Maybe it was a dare, or maybe it's a thing in Korea to see if they can collect American friends...who knows. </div>

Cris and I left and continued our search for a jjimjilbang. We had to backtrack a little and go through the underground subway to cross the street.

Plus, I woke up in the middle of the night and found that a Korean man had made his bed on the mat right next to me. Like, right next to me. So I scooted closer to Cris and fell back asleep. But then I woke up later and my leg was touching his leg: he kept getting closer every time I moved away (not in a pervy way, he was dead asleep). Cris had the same problem on the other side of her with a different Korean dude. I'm telling you, it's quite the strange experience to be wedged between random Koreans on a bamboo mat all night in a dry sauna room...haha. In the morning, I had to gently pry my phone charger cord from underneath the guy's head next to me... Soooo awkward. And funny. Seriously, only in Korea.</div>

The rest of Saturday was spent wandering the underground shopping malls, at an orientation session in Itaewon for Teaching North Korean Refugees (which, as cool as that would be, I don't think I'm going to participate, because I think I need a break from teaching on the weekends), and at the movie theater (we saw Ricki and the Flash--in English with Korean subtitles, haha).</div>

This picture was taken right across the street from my apartment building. I pass this old man every day. I think he might live in this little space between buildings (pictured below), or he at least works there. It's next to the Mini-Mart down the street. He goes through the garbage and recycling and collects boxes and collapses them. Or I've seen him crush soda cans with a mallet. I think he can sell the recycling. But it's what he does<i> every</i> single day. Kind of sad.</div>

Dakgalbi is yummy. But you still get a lot of fat and bones in some of your bites. I wish they prepped meat the same way we do at home. Oh, well. Do as the Koreans. (Side note: I'm an excellent chopstick user, now. Hm. *sniff sniff* And I'm humble.)</div>

Chuncheon, especially the Myeongdong neighborhood, which is 5 minutes from me, has excellent shopping. One of my favorite stores is Artbox. It has the most adorable stuff: </div>

Chuncheon is really feeling like home to me. In a weird way, haha. It's so different from Utah. So different. But when I spend the weekend in Seoul and travel other places, I get so excited to come back to Chuncheon. I like my little neighborhood, even if it is kind of sketch walking around by myself at night. I like my school and the relationships I'm building with the staff. Chuncheon is nice.</div>

I met my friend, Cris, in Seoul this last weekend. It was a fun experiment trying to figure out the ITX and Korail and Seoul subway system...we were extremely lucky that we actually found each other without too much hassle. (She traveled from Chungnam and I traveled from Gangwon...by myself! Be proud of me.)</div>

Cris and I ate at a "Japanese sushi" restaurant. We just wanted American sushi: you know, the good tempura stuff. But we learned that "crunch" roll in Korea means corn flakes (they were kind of like rice krispies, actually) and almonds. And they put mayo and mustard on the rolls. And, get this: Kraft cheddar cheese in the roll. WHHAAAT?? WHHYY?? Ew. Oh, well. The udon (noodle soup) was good. And the meal way cheaper than sushi in the U.S.</div>

Soo....this is a jjimjilbang. Haha. A public bath house. Um...you just go bathe naked with random strangers. All ages, shapes, and sizes. It is separated by gender, though. Thank goodness.</div>

You throw your stuff in these lockers...and then strip. Like, everything. And you walk naked into the bath/shower room. You shower before getting into any of the pools/jacuzzis. And then you have options for different temperature pools, ranging from ice cold to scalding hot. Some jjimjilbangs have tea baths (you literally bathe in tea). There are a bunch of sauna rooms, too. And weird half-bath rooms. Everything supposedly has a medicinal or health benefit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of health, ahem...I learned this night that I am allergic to some part of mangoes (maybe the skin or pit?). We had mango bingsu for dessert, and the fruit was still partially attached to the skin. About the time we arrived at the jjimjilbang, I started feeling the hot itching in my hands and feet (for me, the first sign of an allergic reaction to something--I know I'm allergic to mate, the Argentine drink, for example, haha). Anyway, I was already naked, so I was hoping the reaction would just go away on its own. But, no, I broke out in hives. After an hour or two of bathing (haha, it sounds so weird...and it is...but you just kind of get used to the whole "naked in front of lots of naked Korean women" thing), my hands and face were super swollen and my throat was feeling tight. We got dressed and asked the ladies at the jjimjilbang reception desk where we could find a pharmacy for some antihistamine. The communication barrier is a real B sometimes. My chest started feeling funny and we finally found the Korean words for "it's an emergency." The lady half-walked/half-ran with us outside to help us find a taxi. Lucky for us, a police car was parked up the street. The jjimjilbang lady spoke some hurried Korean and we hopped in the police car and they drove us the two blocks to the emergency room. (I can now say I've been in a Korean police car...if that's a cool thing, I don't know...) The ER doctor didn't speak English, but his nurse did. They took down my name and took my vitals. And then the nurse gave me 2 shots of epinephrine (I'm assuming). They were in my right butt cheek. Oh, and after cleaning the skin with an alcohol wipe, but prior to injecting me, the nurse slapped my butt a few times. Apparently that's a thing in Korea. Or maybe everywhere. I don't know, they were my first butt shots. So I had a needle in my butt and I was actually grinning, because it was so weird and unexpected. I was trying my hardest not to laugh, mid-shot-of-epinephrine. </div>

And then you sleep in a communal sleeping room with everyone: men, women, children. Random people snoring and kicking you in your sleep. It's an experience.</div>

The next day, I attempted going to my ward's stake conference in Dongdaemun. I say attempted, because I had a culture shock moment after I got to the building, felt a huge wave of depression and homesickness, and remembered I don't speak Korean (duh). So, after sitting in the hallway for a half hour (I had been late, and there were no seats), I left and took a bus back to where Cris was.</div>

It was basically one big crowded restaurant. Except, every stall is selling something different: pancakes, seafood, raw squid, intestine-looking stuff, fruit juices... You just sit down, order, and they prepare your meal in front of you.</div>

It was a fun weekend. And then I started teaching this week. Oh. My. Goodness. It's going to be rough for awhile... I have 18 1st-graders in one class. The second 1st grade class, which will be tomorrow, is also huge with 17 students. Classroom management just went out the window. And my older boys are super wild, too...</div>

I wish I had pictures from all of today's adventures, but I don't. I'll just list the highlights (or interesting points--they're not all positive, haha), since I'm exhausted and need to go to bed:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I had to give a speech at a welcome assembly at school today...wasn't warned about that, haha. So I just said hello. I'm a foreigner, I can get away with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. I was strict with my students today. They still laughed in my face. But it was better than yesterday, at least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. A random student (I don't know her name) came and gave me "candy," which was actually a chewable vitamin (VEEtahMeen). What a...sweet gesture. Haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. I participated in my first Korean school staff meeting. I had to introduce myself again. Awkwardly. And then I didn't know when I could leave (because they spoke in Korean), so finally, when I was no longer needed, someone just said, "Uh, Aubree...go." Oh, okay. Haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. I had another official school dinner. I sat at the table of honor with the principal and the new vice principal. They had me make a toast. So I stood up and said something silly, like "Here's to a happy school semester. Cheers!" and everyone laughed and I drank my shot glass of brown-ish water and they got super drunk all night on soju and Korean beer...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. I went "drinking" with some of the staff after dinner. I watched everyone get even more drunk (especially the vice principal) while my beer glass went untouched, haha. So many funny things happened, though. The VP is a funny drunk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ahh, I wish I could share all the details with all of you. Because life here is so interesting. But...I'm going to sleep now. Good night. And good morning for you. :)</div>

I really wanted to get a picture of the old lady who came on the bus after I got on. She was so cute. She was grinning at everyone, flashing a lovely gold tooth, haha. Later, she said something to me in <strike>gibberish</strike> Korean, laughing and smiling at me. Uh-huh. Smile and nod, smile and nod.</div>

I am just desk-warming this week, working on lesson plans, and waving to cute kids as they walk past my classroom. (The older ones bow deeply to me. The little ones just yell "Herro!" when they see me in the hallway.) I start English classes next week. According to my mentor teacher, a lot of 1st grade girls have signed up for the English class--girls who wouldn't have signed up with the last TaLK scholar (no offense to him, maybe it's just because I'm a girl and they think I look extra friendly).</div>

I am the only blonde. Anywhere. I love all the looks I get. The other day in Daiso, an old Korean man came right up to me and I thought I must have been in the way of something he was trying to look at behind me. But, no, he was just looking at me and what I was purchasing. Out of curiosity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday, my school had an official dinner because our vice principal is transferring to another school (apparently people don't stay in the same job long in Korea, maybe 8 years max). We went to a restaurant and had Samgyeopsal, which is fatty pork belly meat that comes to your table raw. You then cook it, along with vegetables (kimchi) on a hot plate/grill that's on the table. It was actually really good. I just didn't love all the fat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told my mentor teacher I don't drink, so she poured water in my shot glass while everyone else poured soju in theirs. The drinking culture is very important here. So it was important for me to participate, even if it was just water in my cup. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were three older ladies sharing my table and grill. One is a janitor at the school and the other two are lunch ladies. They don't speak any English, but they acted like my mom all night and made sure I ate plenty of food. They kept pushing meat towards my side of the grill with their chopsticks. My mentor teacher was laughing and joking that I had three "mommies" taking care of me. They were so sweet, though. And I got so full. But, surprise, they brought out bowls of rice next. And spicy tofu soup. And then grapes. And then the VP wanted to take everyone to a cafe, her treat. So I had a fruit drink and shared some desserts (Korea is a very sharing culture, if you haven't gathered that yet).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I got home after dinner, my landlady (who speaks English quite well) knocked on my door and asked, if I had time, if I would meet her 20-year old daughter who is visiting from university in Seoul. She invited me to go to the supermarket with them, because she said I just seem like a good person. Haha. My landlady bought me a huge bundle of bananas. And then...then they took me to a dessert cafe for bingsu. Hahaha...more food, oh my gosh, I ate so much yesterday...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then my mentor teacher joined us for dinner and I finally tried Dakgalbi, the spicy chicken and cabbage dish that Chuncheon is known for. We sat on the floor around a circular table with a large pan/cooker in the middle. A lady came and dumped a big pile of raw chicken, cabbage, sweet potato chunks, and rice cakes into the pan. The ladies working at the restaurant cook it for us right at our table, using a big metal spatula to push everything around (it looks like back-breaking work, because the table is barely off the ground and they have to bend over it to cook...good thing they're generally short people). After we mostly finished the meat and cabbage, the lady came back, pushed the leftovers to the side and laid out a rice mixture on the pan. She pushed the rice back and forth and flattened it until it was just a thin layer. She cut it in sections and rolled up the rice into rolls. It was delicious! Almost like Mexican-style fried rice. A little crispier than normal rice. And spicy. So yummy. I will have to video the process next time and take pictures. But I didn't want to be rude with my co-teachers there. </div>

My dinner last night: convenience store rice and a seaweed packet. And mint lime soda. Good news, though, I found a little alley market by church today that sells vegetables and fruit. And I think there's an actual grocery store close by, too. Tomorrow will have to be another shopping day. :)</div>

This is an actual ward (not a branch), but there are only 25 members maybe. Today, there were maybe 10-15 adults and a handful of kids. Super small ward. There are 6 English-speaking missionaries, though: 4 elders and 2 sisters. So I was able to have most of the meetings translated.</div>

The address is so clearly marked! But taxi drivers have no idea how to find a location based on the number and street name...so after 5 or 10 minutes in a stifling-hot taxi with a clueless Korean taxi driver, I got out and walked the rest of the way to church. I think, from now on, I'll be fine just walking the half hour to church each week...</div>

There was only one woman in relief society, besides the teacher and two sister missionaries. This woman came in, holding two live dragonflies. She was pinching their wings between her fingers. The only translation I could get from the missionaries was that the woman was "pairing them." So, I think she was trying to mate the poor dragonflies... Only in Korea...</div>

All the meetings seemed to finish quite early. I think relief society was done by 12:30. And then the ladies went and prepared lunch for the ward, which was rice (always), vegetable/mushroom salad of some kind, spicy vegetables, and grapes. It was delicious.</div>

On my way home, I passed the Insung General Hospital. You can't really see, but there were just random patients loitering outside. And some patients hanging out near a restaurant/bar even further down the street. IV lines and all. Huh...</div>
