I've noticed a lotof Korean culture things that I've been wanting to write about, but I got my writing inspiration at a time when I literally don't have time to write them (well, not literally, but in some ways I really do need a little bit of tv time before bed to unwind). And now is also not the time because I am going to Taipai ( Read more... )

Most Koreans are short toothpicks. So getting clothes is a laughable thing here. They pretty much don't have stuff for me, in any direction. Plus, they only wear mini skirts here (though I get strange looks for having something that is a little 'low cut' (all of which you seen and I don't think I wear anything too low cut but I do wear tank tops ( Read more... )

Today I was sick. And this was not the time to get sick. The boss teacher isn't here this week so we are already one teacher short. Plus since we started having preschool there is at most one teacher on break for the morning. Also I think I am supposed to be in charge to two homeroom classes at once. But I felt nauseous. I had to step out of my one ( Read more... )

Note to self. Always bring granny cart when going to Costco. Even a small trip will be heavy. Also, when you know that you have an overly heavy-overly stuffed (so that it can't fit on your shoulder) bag, don't buy ice cream (or an iced latte) even though they are only a buck. These are things I've already known from experience, but apparently I don ( Read more... )

So much for I'll finish writing at home. Sorry, and thank you Debbie for yelling at me ( Read more... )

So I think I left off with me arriving in Japan. I was determined to relax, which I know is a bit of an oxi-moran in and of itself, and not 'do' Japan. I was going to be ok with no seeing every last tourist attraction in Japan (at this point I wasn't sure if I was going to try and see another part of the country which died fast when I realized how ( Read more... )

My trip to Japan was nice. I was determined not to stress too much and actually relax on my vacation and I think I succeeded for the most part. This is such a wild concept to me I think because the vacations of my childhood were never relaxing affairs. I think it is also why as a family we can now only do cruises and ac, if we went on a 'family ( Read more... )

I'm in Japan *and this keyboard is really weird and the space bar is really small and I keep missing it so pardon and bad errors like me not being able to find the parenthases and no spell check. the keyboard is so annoying that I can't write to much, like how I decided to come here 30 hours before my flight took off ( Read more... )

It snowed last night (sorta). There was a chance of snow in the forecast. Well, it didn't snow where I live (I don't think at least), but there is snow on the top of the 'mountain' I can see from my apartment, so I consider that close enough to snowing to be grumpy about it ( Read more... )

I think it might be time to admit that I might be a little homesick. I wish I could be home Thanksgiving and I'm mad that I had to miss my cousins wedding and such. I don't like the h-word cause most of the time I'm fine here. I miss you guys and wish I could hang out with you (and really wish I could have been at the Halloween party) but it's not ( Read more... )
