Ok so I know I haven't kept my word on my posting arrangements but give me a break, it's a new year and I'm trying to make some moves and become internationally known. Ya feel me?!! Anyway, I found out I officially have to move this Thursday b/c of some stuff going on with my current apartment...DON"T ASK!!!! Not only that, part of the reason I haven't I haven't been posting is b/c I've been dealing with some personal issues as well. DON'T ASK!!! about that either. I'm back now and that's all that matters and things can't do nothin but get better...YEAH!
So the work life is good, I finally got a little bread in my life here and there and I met some more people of course.(yes I am that social butterfly). The kids are coming along with the English very well and some of them are just off the chain speakers!! God I love my job!!! Others are making it...just at a different pace. =) All in all, things are good there. I must admit, my Hangul (Korean language) is getting better day by day and the kids are teaching me just as much as I'm teaching them so it goes hand in hand.
I really haven't had time to sight see and travel as much as I'd like b/c I'm always cold and I never want to go anywhere and I'm working on saving money and not spending it. (read the 1st post) I have made plans to see more in Seoul next weekend though b/c it's the lunar new year. "Hey Kisha, what's that?" Glad you asked. The lunar new year is another celebration for all of East Asia and it's called
Seollal. They usually celebrate two New Year’s: one on January 1st according to the solar calendar, and another according to the lunar calendar, falling this year on February 7th. During the Lunar New Year time, most people go back to their hometowns to perform ceremonial rites, paying their respect to their ancestors. You can find out more on this at http://english.tour2korea.com/index.asp. It's kinda lengthy to try and explain so I figured you could educate yourself like I did by reading...hehehe!! So with all that said, we'll see what splendor I brace you with after my exploration!!! That's from February 6-11th so of course I probably won't post until after that. So in the meantime between time, if anything pops off, you'll be the first to know. Until then, happy birthday to my father and grandmother and your word of the day is "ip dak cho"and that means "shut up" (of course my students taught me that!!)
