Last weekend, a group of us went to see Cirque du Soleil: Alegria.  Unfortunately, there are no pictures from the show at all, because the staff were very strict with enforcing the “no picture” rule.  I couldn’t even take a picture of our group, in our seats, during intermission.  Nonetheless, Kristy, Gisela, and I spent [...]

The guys went as Mexican firefighters – Jos-A (José), Jos-B, and Jos-C. I went as a pirate.  Reardon and Barbara (pictured above) went as Hall and Oates.

This is me, kicking my own ass.  There’s lots to say and lots of pictures to show, but I’m one lazy girl when it comes to writing.  I’ve never been good at it, and that’s probably why I don’t blog more constantly, even though I really want to.  Here’s to more constant updates. Recently, we [...]

I wanted to post some pictures from our bowling night in Suwon, which was almost 3 weeks ago.  This was also the first weekend that Ras got back from the States. While bowling, whenever anyone got a strike, he/she had to do a little dance.  I think I danced twice, and the number one dancer [...]

Last night, I got together with thirteen other girls for a “Sex and the City” party in Suwon.  I traveled with Kristy to Jenay’s apartment and we had appetizers and drinks before dinner.  I brought a shrimp ceviche that Ras made, while Kristy made hummus.  Mojitos and cosmopolitans were our drinks of choice. After drinks, [...]

My students took their final exams today, so I’m done with university classes until September.  I’ve still got to teach our university’s children camp in July, but that will be easy.  It’s four weeks, Monday through Thursday, 1 to 5pm.  I’ll take the opportunity to go workout at least five days a week, and get [...]

Saturday night was Ben’s housewarming party in Suwon.  This is the “Ben” I went to Spavis with, not my brother’s friend.  What’s unusual about Ben’s apartment, is that he lives one floor of a Korean house.  I’m so used to going to people’s apartments, that I almost forgot what the inside of a Korean house [...]

Your best friend and sister hung out on Tuesday night! Ben has been here about 4 months, and it’s his first time teaching in Korea.  He’s my younger brother’s best friend and we hung out on Tuesday for the first time since he’s been here. Ben:  When’s the last time you talked to Joe? Me:  [...]

I finished work today at noon and had to catch a bus to Gangnam for a 3:00pm dentist appointment.  After finishing that, I returned to Gunpo and met my co-workers for a staff dinner near our school.  I ate so much meat that, had it been warmer, I would’ve had beef sweats.  Apparently, there’s money [...]
