What an exciting week this has been! Next week the kids are on Summer vacation (for a week, none of this two and a half month thing). They are super excited as well, and they are making it really fun to teach :) The good thing is their energy is up sky high, and we are doing lots of fun summer activities. I really do sound like a teacher now...

So what stories do I have for this week...

Well I'm finding my good old American food, such as hotdogs and white bread. The kids say that white bread is the reason "white people are fat." They're so cute. And so right. But it tastes so good, so I'll keep eating it. Anyway, the hotdogs. So I found a pack of 18 dogs or so, and Ben and I decide to cook em up one night. As they are cooking, I realize that they look really funny. Not like a normal hotdog cooking on the grill. I thought, "maybe the Korean hotdogs are a bit different." So I try to stab one to see what is going on. And my fork won't puncture the hotdog. Strange. Ben says, "just eat them anyway. It can't be bad for you." I almost ate them, but decided to check the uncooked ones to see what was going on. Come to find out, each individual hotdog is plastic wrapped. Bad news to eat. So we unwrapped a few more, threw the wrapped ones away and cooked some healthy, tasty, hotdogs up.

So as for the pictures, there is a park across the street and the rain was keeping the kids away, and gave me a good opportunity for pics. However, the next picture is a park right outside the school where I teach. Now that summer vacation is drawing near, the kids are staying out late to play. I leave work at about 9pm and they were all playing like it was noon. Beings that monsoon season is about done, the heat is setting in. So kids don't play outside too much during the day, so a late night play time is the better option.

When the rain was sporadic, people always carried an umbrella. People would have the umbrella up even when there was no rain. No big deal really. But again, more good pic opportunities. They have something about the rain hitting their heads. I haven't quite figured it out, but they don't like it.

So that might be about it for now. I'm getting ready for a nice summer vacation next week. I'll be getting out to take lots of pictures with all the spare time now. So I'll have another post after the week is done. Cheers.
