Changes – Part O (ie 5)

I’m hanging out here at Krispy Kreme enjoying my time off. Generally, I don’t do vacation time very well at all. This time is different. I guess I really needed this short break.

As I said last night (sadly it seems I can type faster on my iPod than on my spacebar-less laptop) my stuff is in Daejon. I’ll end up staying in a hotel there for a few days until my bed is delivered (Kathryn + floor = pain). I start teaching on monday.

Today, I bought myself a Korean cookbook. I’m looking forward to trying some of the recipes. I love Korean food, so it should be fun. There are a few recipes I want to have my dad try to make for my grandma. She would probably enjoy some of the zucchini ones.

I’ll end by saying the WordPress app for the iPod touch/iPhone is great. Who knew sitting, drinking tea, and blogging could be such a great combination!!

Change – Part Sa (ie 4)

So I’m sitting here in my hotel room in Ulsan. I finished at Little Campus yesterday. There were only a few tears. My stuff has arrived in my apartment in Daejon. The cats are being boarded at the vet’s office. I’ll move up to Daejon this weekend. I start teaching at my new school on Monday.

I plan on relaxing the best I can over the next few days. I’m looking forward to meeting the students and staff at Maple Square. I’m also looking forward to exploring Daejon. It sounds like a neat place.

Sorry this is so short. I’m on my laptop which is lacking a space bar.

Grand Park Picnic

Once again, our kindergarten took a trip to Grand Park. The kids love to play there. The teachers love the relaxed nature of our picnics. There’s not much to say, so enjoy the pictures!!!

Mooga-dong

Moogadong is the area around Ulsan University. It has a much different feeling than the areas around where I live. It’s about a 15-20 minute cab ride from downtown (Samsangdong). I spent the afternoon on what’s called “Babo Street” (literally translated it means silly/crazy four way intersection).

We found there is a Cold Stone Creamery there. Ally was very excited to see they had cake batter icecream (*drool*). We didn’t stop for any because Ally and Richard had icecream earlier in the day and I had some cheesecake at the coffee shop.

We ended up stopping at an outdoor restaurant type place to have a few drinks before heading home for BBQ (yummy Korean BBQ….)

I happened to have my camera with me, so I took some pictures for fun. Enjoy!
