Amazing things that happened before 10 am

Two amazing things that happened before 10 am:

(1) Matthew didn't notice that his shirt was on backwards (there's a pocket in the front)

(2) Eric's answer to the question What did you eat for dinner last night? was: I ate meatwater

Spelling

One of today's spelling words was "tolerated".

These are the following answers I got after I read the definition to them:

tolerocious
tolerstand
tolured

Everland

Now that it is warm and sunny I've been trying to get out and about more. Last week we went to Everland, which is kind of like a Korean Disney Land. It was an awesome day but 2 out of the 3 major roller coasters were closed. Fortunately, the line for the pirate ship was super short.


Rachel was super excited to go to the Dutch Village and to go to the Dutch restuarant. I'm not really sure what she was expecting but this is the menu. As you can clearly see there is no stumple. (In a quick side note we were similarly disappointed by Rocky Mountain Tavern's Poutin)

This was a sign posted at the Everland Zoo. It was probably one of the more horrific places I've ever been.

This kid's dad walked up to us while we were sitting at the "American" style burger joint and asked us if his sons could take a picture with us. His little brother is actually sitting directly behind him. They battled over this photo for a solid 5 minutes.

Everland is the most affordable amusement park in the universe. Joel and I were able to feed an entire aviary of budgies for only 1,000 won. Bottles of water were 800 won. Basically the only expensive thing there was the cat-shaped bubble gun. Which was kind of a bummer because I really wanted one.

But the best thing I saw at Everland was this "Gothic Gifts" store that was was all pink and lavender and covered in flowers.


Oh, aaaand Churros are taking over the world.

Teacher Day!

Teacher's Day was a few weeks ago but I haven't posted about it yet. It's kind of a weird situation because, like Mother's and Father's Day, you're suppose to show your appreciation for your teacher by giving them a carnation or a card or a small present. But over here "small" presents turn into rather extravagant ones, especially in Gangnam.

I didn't really get anything extravagant which I was happy about because the last thing I wanted was an awkward situation but I did get a lot of flowers and soap and some anti-wrinkle beads!

But the best part of the day was reading the cards when I got home:

This is from Patty and Eric (clearly). I'm happy they reminded me what day it was.

This one is from Lee. On this paper he has drawn a cresent moon, a star, and algal plant and a pokemon sticker.

I don't remember who drew this one but the giant dead tree is awesome.

This one is from Wendy, the loudest girl in my PK11A class. Sometimes I think she and Junhee can reach decibel levels equivalent to howler monkeys.


...And the WINNER!!

"Thank you Julie Teacher. You teach me all the days and tell a lie every day."
