The end of another month. Two months in Korea have gone bye so quick it is hard to believe. Things here are good, we are settled in and have met some great people. This week was the same as all the others. Work Monday to Friday and party hard Friday night. This week we also added in a big party night on Wednesday just for fun. I will not be making that a habit, Thursday at work was painful, and I only work at 4pm. Its been a big Olympic week for both Canada and Korea so we have been keeping up on that. The time difference is awful, but I will say we have been enjoying all the games, even if they are on at 8am and in Korean. The Korean commentary makes it kind of funny, all you here is gibberish followed by SLAPSHOT, or Sidney Crosby. An 8am hockey game doesn't have the same vibe as 8pm, but none the less we have enjoyed a few beers and pizza while watching the games. Kim Yuna (Korea's Super Star) won the predicted gold medal in figure skating which was a big deal here in Korea. It wouldn't surprise me if they make a "Kim Yuna Day." All of my students love giving me the Korean updates on the Olympics and the standings. Although they all seem to think Korea is doing better than Canada, which is not true. I will admit we were tied in medals and standings at one point but Canada has really picked up its game lately. Korea has dominated in speed skating events so they are always bringing that up. It is almost like they are brainwashed here to think Korea is #1, when really there is a lot of things Korea lacks. My kids are dumb enough to pick English names such as Vegetable, Moon Fill, or Salad, but they are smart enough to know that when Canada lost to USA in mens hockey that it was a big deal and very funny. I got a lot of "Hahaha teacher Canada vs USA 5-3." and " Canada ice hockey very bad" I make sure to remind them that its not over yet, and that Canada can still win the gold. The gold medal game is on Monday at 5am, it's going to be a VERY early morning, but regardless of the distance and time difference we will be watching.
