Things here have been pretty quiet this week. Last Friday we got to meet our new foreign manager who seems very nice. We went out for lunch to get to know her. The weekend was low key. Friday I enjoyed supper downtown with some friends. Saturday we had a little black dress night with all the girls. Sunday is was a true "rainy season" type of day. It poured rain all day and night which made it a perfect lazy Sunday.

This weeks highlight in teaching ESL came early in the week while talking about what your favorite foods are. As I mentioned before Asians have trouble with the letter B. P. R. and L. They often mix up B and P, or R and L. I started one of my younger classes off with the opening question "What is your favorite food?" as going around many responses were "My favorite food is crap" and "My favorite food is lice" also known as crab and rice. Teaching ESL can be very annoying, and tiring, but it also comes with some good laughs.

I'm off to Jeju Island on Friday! I'm excited for a long weekend in the sun. I'm sure I will be nice and "dirty" (tanned) when I return.
