In Dunsan, I came across a little ore and fossil museum in the basement of a coffee shop. There were all sorts of minerals and fossils, some in their raw form, some carved and polished. I was the only one in there and it was nice and peaceful. Enjoy the pictures.

The Spaghetti Song
I love singing songs with my kiddos. The lower level course books usually have OK songs. This one is from “Let’s Go 2″ and is teaching ‘like’ and ‘want’.
The video features Winter Class, 4 1st graders and a kindergartener. Brian, Ella and Joy were in Maple Kinder. Amy and Juliet are new students.
My Classroom
I thought I’d post a few pictures of my classroom. Note the obsessively arranged books. Yup, classic Kathryn.
Jokbal
We, as a staff, went out to dinner last night. This was my first experience with Jokbal (족발). Simply put, it’s pig legs that are boiled in some spices and stuff, then deboned and sliced. I was skeptical when my boss told me what we’d be eating. I have to say, it was quite delicious. Apparently the collegen in the meat/fat is good for your skin. I think I’m still feeling the fat coursing through my cardiac arteries. But hey, it was something new and I really enjoyed it. I don’t think it’s anything I’d seek out on my own, but I had fun at dinner.

Not a picture of mine, but this is esentially what we ate. There was kimchi (2 kinds) plus a couple of other salads (one with onions and cucumbers and one with daikon). There were a couple dipping sauces and lettuce leaves to wrap the meat in.
Happy 2011
Old Downtown
A few weekends ago, I took a trip to Old Downtown (Eunheng-dong). It’s a neat area with good shopping and good food. If you wander over there, I definitely recommend “The Flying Pan” (yes, flying, not frying) an awesome Italian restaurant with pretty good prices. I got soup, risotto and a soda for 22,000 ₩, which I think is pretty darn good. I can definitely say the food is almost as good as what I used to eat in Little Italy in Cleveland. Enjoy the pics.
August Field Trip
Today, we went to Daejeon World Cup Stadium for a field trip. We went to the children’s center there. What an awesome place to go if you’re a kid. There are different themed sections including one about different countries, one that’s a small city and one all about science. Our students had a lot of fun. Everything was very hands on. We spent a couple of hours there and didn’t get to experience everything. I can imagine kids spending the whole day there.
Oh why didn’t we have places like this when I was little??
