So I taught my kiddies a Halloween song!! If you cant understand it's:

One little, two little, three little witches
Four little, five little, six little witches
Seven little, eight little, nine little witches
Ten little witches in a row!!!

Ten little, nine little, eight little witches
Seven little, six little, five little witches
Four little, three little, two little witches
One little witch all alone!!

So today was Alex's Birthday (Kid in the hat). So birthdays here are pretty ridiculous. Alex's mom brought in a french bakery style cake, Halloween candy bags, individual sponge rice cakes and kid drinks with little toys on top. Can anyone say spoiled?

We have been learning about dinosaurs. I got really bored of all the scripted stuff we are given, so I created my own project. We drew pictures of our own dinosaurs and then wrote about them! The kids loved it, and so did my supervisors!!!

My boys being silly as usual!!!

Here is my class! Well 7 of them... 2 are absent. One is in Japan, and the other has been sick all week! I could not get them all to smile, they are very silly kids! I have gotten permission to take as many pictures as I want, so keep checking back! Today they were wearing their "exercise outfits". The clothes they usually wear are pretty adorable, and parents are definitely concerned about image, and the kids come to school decked out almost every day.

Yeah....those are cucumbers. They are different here...."Korean cucumbers" I suppose. You can get "American" ones here, but they are way more expensive! I actually like these ones a lot better. They have a very thin skin and are super delicious. I eat some with my dinner every night!

So when I first came to Korea I thought fruits and veggies would be super expensive. Well....they are not, they are insanely cheap! I bought all these at the grocery story today and get this....I only spent about $5.00 U.S Dollars!!!!

I went on a walk tonight, and this a snapshot of the street I like to call "carnival street". It is all lit up with bright lights and street food all over the place. This picture just not give it justice at all!!

My school is totally ready for Halloween! The school has decorated every inch of the school. Interestingly enough, Korea does not celebrate Halloween, but we do at our school because it is an English school! The school also spent $300 dollars on our costumes... I have an elaborate witch costume.. YAYY!

Yayy!!!.... found out Terrence is joining me on December 4th. COUNTDOWN on my fridge.....46 days to go.....

The Hyundai Department Store where I saw the "performers".

I just got back from a long walk. I laid around my apartment most of the weekend, so I figured it was probably time to get out and do something. I've still got a hacking cough that wont go away, but I think it might be the air. I forgot to bring my camera, which is pretty unfortunate because I saw some hilarious things today. First off, in front of the Hyundai Department Store there was a performing music group...it consisted of three Korean teens dressed in shiny, very skimpy outfits playing the flute and violin to Korean techno while gallivanting around the stage, smiling and making provocative looks at the men in the crowd. Sounds lame, but I stood there and watched it for a good 15 minutes. On the way back to my apartment, I passed an eatery called Chicken and Beer, which I just found humorous.
