Busy being a teacher!

Last weekend Alicia Hays came to visit me from Deajeon , that was a lot of fun. We spent most of the time hanging out with people I knew and walking around town and trying new fun places to eat. We didn't do much more adventuring than that... Once Alicia posts pictures of the weekend I will post some on here. She also brought 2 of her friends from her school. It was nice to get to know them. I plan to do a 5K in Deajeon with in the next couple of months. I am excited. It is much easier to run here. :) ... I am soon going to look into rock climbing and I have already gone to a hot yoga class. The class was all in Korean but it was easy to fallow. I enjoyed it. The week at school is going well. We are taking our kids on a field trip this friday! :) i am super super excited to see how this goes. I am dealing with a lot of "kid" issues that I am not really trained for but I am glad to of taken some of those philosophy classes in college.   Another interesting thing that happened to me this week was that I found out a parent of one of my students came to school and saw me and told a Korean Co teacher of mine that she was "scared" of me because I look like a "solider." HAHA ... I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing..... ?....... The next day I was leading my youngest kender class back to their classroom with me and one girl stepped out of line and looked at my school director and told her in Korean that she was scared of me! my director just looked at me and cracked up! So the past week I have been scaring students more than usual by just being my tall self.... haha they will get used to me.... This weekend I do not have anything big planned, I want to venture off and find some places to hike and just see. And of course relax. RELAX is the number one thing becuase this past week I had to get 65 report cards done and they took me FOREVER! On monday I was at work from 9 am till 12pm (i was there on and off kinda). Until next time

Jakarta - rough on the outside a gem inside!

Image
Let me start off by saying I would have had a complete different experience if I didn't have 2 of the most fantastic hostesses! If your reading this, you know who you are ;) . I don't know if that experience would of been bad but I did get to see and learn more about Jakarta than a normal backpacker traveling through would. Jakarta has about 10 million people living in the city and about 10 million traveling in and out of the city. The city does not have a subway! If there was one word that Lauren and Monica taught me how to say in Indonesian it was traffic! Lauren and I took full advantage of the traffic we sat in to get to know one another! So of course it worked in our favor :) . Before writing on this blog , I wrote in my travel journal and took up like 5 pages of bullet points of things we did each day! Even with all the traffic I cannot believe how much I did in Jakarta ! I guess we took a lot of "short cuts." This is when we take a car or flight early in th...

In Singapore for 3 dayzzz!

Leaving pohang and the people there was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have never met such a amazing group of people like them. I feel very blessed to have been able to have shared this past year with each and every one of them! The cool thing is I know I will see everyone other places in the world in the future because of the friendship we have built in Korea together! I will never forget.. 💛💙💜💚❤ After traveling for about a full day from pohang , South Korea. I am now here in the Singapore airport. Stephanie and I are now waiting for her brother to come in on his flight. We had a lay over in Manila. This airport was nice and we had sometime to kill so we hung out in a cafe. We then found out we needed to get to a different terminal for our flight. Then we found out that no shuttle busses were running because it was 4 am! So we were told to take a taxi ... I decided to exchange some of my money to pesos cuz I would be able to use it when I am back in about 2 weeks...

I am once again at a internet cafe in Loas. I need to play catch up with my entries. I have been so busy that because my iTouch went missing/stolen in beginning of Thailand my entries have been few and far between. I have only 30 minutes to tell you all about the land of Pad Thai, Thailand!!! On the first day we started at a good cheep hostel called Southern Fried Rice. This is were we met up with Stephaine and her older brother. We then walked around town and saw Kata beach. We sat and talked on the beach and watched the sunset. Life is hard, I know. . . After this we decided to go to this putt putt golf. We drank beers while venturing around this course. After golf we went for dinner. Chrisitie and I were both very very tired from traveling for about 2 straight days to get to Thailand. So we went home and slept. We then got up early to take a bus to the port. We were to then get on a boat to get to Phi Phi island. Have you seen the movie , "The Beach?" parts of this movie w...
