It seemed like rainbows would appear; Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear

Hello! Happy Sunday, lass!

Not much to talk about, really. This weekend was really nice and I'm sad to see it's over. However, things should be pretty easy this week in terms of teaching and class load. Monday I'm going on a "picnic" (aka field trip) with all the third graders which should be a blast. It's supposed to rain but I'll make the most of it! ^^* I think I'll bring my video recorder.

Ooh, I've been reminiscing old music lately. I recall hours upon hours singing (and ahem...dancing) in the privacy of my own room to the best music. Get Up Kids, Saves the Day, Death Cab, Travis, and, of course, a little Garbage. Hence the inspiration behind the title of this blog. The song is about a mega-sexy cross dresser. Ooh lala!




Anyhow, I have a few pictures to post from yesterday. David and I hopped on the 30-5 bus from Hanam to Jamsil in order to check out world-famous Olympic Park, Seoul. The weather was ideal: A crisp 70s, wispy clouds dancing high above and lots of sunshine casting happy rays toward Earth. That's what you call weather-bliss. Many a photo op--and tasty dinner--later, we wrapped up our trip and headed back home. In pictures:

This guy is so friendly. He has bright yellow hair (obvious). I'm sure it's so that he matches the fruit that he sells. ^^*

Korean's have a strange fixation with all-things fecal.

South Korea Adventures

I know it's disgusting but we couldn't help ourselves.

Okay. After all that fecal fun, we decided it was time to head back home. Along the way we came across Covent Garden. Needless to say, we were lured in by its laid back, colorful vibe. Plus it smelled delicious! We enjoyed the ambiance. It's one of those places that becomes your "regular go-to" place, I think. Sort of like Jockamo's in Irvington or Elbow Room on Pennsylvania Street in Indy.

The colors remind me of Thailand, but the food was very Italian!

South Korea Adventures
The breeze was so, so lovely!

Really - how quaint? I think a review is in order for miseducated.

Dinner served! I had mare spaghetti in a tomato sauce. It had lots of seafood. David had an alfredo spaghetti that came with a side of caviar (the small plate with orange stuff) to mix in. Yum!

Aufiderzein, my friends!

Hahaha! Interesting. Very interesting indeed. As long as it didn't take your appetite away for your yummy Italian food, it's all good. :)
