Swine Flu for reals.

What a relaxing week this has been! At school on Monday, we were sent home at 3pm because most of the schools are being closed in the area. A girl at the elementary school in my city has Swine Flu and they subsequently closed down that school for a week. Since we had some kids who have been in contact with that girl, my boss decided to shut the school on a day by day basis. So far, we didn't have any school today, we don't have any school tomorrow, and will wait for word about the rest of the week. I'm definitely enjoying the time off, but will miss the pay. It's kind of too bad it was pouring rain ALL DAY today. Oh well, no school is no school.

Baseball!

On the 4th of July, we all went to a Korean baseball game together, most of us for the first time. We got some On the Border(best semi-Mexican food I've been able to find in Korea) and headed out to watch the Doosan Bears vs. the LG Twins. All the baseball teams here are owned by major companies. Apparently the Bears are popular(at least with my students), but the Twins killed them this game. I always loved going to games growing up and then last year in Taiwan. I thought it was going to be the same as in Taiwan, but the turnout was incredible here. The olympic stadium in Seoul where the game was held was completely packed. There were people sitting in the isles and on the stairs. Nevertheless, it was a great time. Especially since you can bring your own food/drinks inside the stadium and tickets are only $6.

oops

My bad...it has been sooo long since I have updated. I've heard the complaints and the requests, and I will be back in business ASAP. I meant to do some blogging over the weekend, but a baseball game and late night out in Seoul got in the way. Don't worry everyone I am still here! About 15 days till I go home for a week.....and I am so excited. My BFF Bethany is getting married in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I'm ready for the all-inclusive resort, the beach, and having a pina colada perpetually in my hand. More later!
