It's Sunday afternoon and David and I are sitting in a computer lab (on the kids side = no smoke!) right now. It's super nice! In fact, it's our favorite one we've found so far and there are quite a few around here. Anyway, because we like it so much we naturally frequent the place! The owners know us now and they smile really big when we walk in. They also say "BUH-BYE!" when we leave and bring us free drinks while we play on the computer. Yesterday they brought us iced coffee and then this thick, fruity tea. Today they brought iced green tea. Other drinks we've had include hot coffee, simple water and hot cocoa! :D
I'm going to miss coming here when my computer is finally up and running again! After weeks of calling the Apple care center and trying to find a place that speaks English, we've FINALLY made some progress. Looks like some people will come to fix the computer this week! Which means the internet should be up shortly thereafter.
Anyway, back to sitting in the computer lab. In a half hour or so we're going to go to a place called 'E-MART' which is like a department store, really. Kind of like Target, only it's built vertically instead of horizontally. There's like 6 levels or something and one floor is groceries, another is clothes, another is homegoods, etc. David and I will take a Taxi (we're getting oh-so-travel savvy)and get some groceries and then head back home.
My first paycheck comes a week from this Monday (our tomorrow). I am eager to see what it looks like! I teach more than the allotted 22 hours a week and so I get 20,000 won (like 16USD) for each hour over, which is usually 4-6 a week. David and I's goal is to pay off most of our debt which should be relatively easy since we're not drowning in credit cards or anything. We also plan to save at least $10,000 USD.
Money talk = boring.
Ooh, remember the Anime Wendy I promised? Well, I have it for you! Like I said in the last entry, I had my fifth graders write sentences in the present tense. For example, "I am playing on the computer." or "I am reading a book." Here is one that a student made of me:

eeps! I am going to ask her if I can keep it! :D
Here are a few more of my favorites:
This girl is so talented, isn't she?
Remember how I said they like to make violent things? Well I am almost postitive it is because they are highly influenced by the video/computer games they play. Those games are crazy! Anyway, here's an example, although it was most definitely amateur violence compared to some!!
I have a TON of blog topics I need to write about. Next time I will show you a ton of pictures I took at the Korean traditional market. Here's is JUST a taste:
Til then, Wendy City
2 sprinkles:
Aww, Anime Wendy! Gotta love it. :) Don't we have great deals going?...getting paid well to have such cool experiences that we can then share with others!
I know...I can't believe how awesome the whole deal is! :)
