Which way??!!!

Went to the DMZ on Sunday.  Will post more picture later, but thought I'd start with this one.  The one where the US President and the Korean President's of the time celebrated the re-opening of a train station in South Korea.  Some day, this train station will run directly to Pyeongyang, but until then it will be most famous as the place where there are many, many copies of the picture where George W is holding a marker upside down. 

Musings

Lost another phone last night. Right after I had put money on it. Fall is coming and the weather is lovely. My hair is growing, finally. Encountered the grossest food I have ever seen. Fried Mac-n-Cheese from TGI Fridays. Finally came around to liking the drinks with solid particles floating around in them. Shark Week has come to Korea. Been watching lots of Discovery Channel and BBC. Went out singing Wednesday night. Had a power ballad night with lots of Heart. It was cheesy. And fantastic. A coworker has gotten fired and our boss has vowed to never hire any more men. 14 women in one office is too much estrogen. If I ever come back, I need a hagwon with less foreign teachers. Been thinking a lot about Mexican food. Going to the DMZ tomorrow. Will hopefully be more interesting then.

Chuseok

Chuseok is a 3 day holiday in Korea, a harvest festival that is sort of like their Thanksgiving. The kids came to school dressed in traditional clothing, hanbok. They've never looked so freaking adorable.
