At a Buddhist Temple

This weekend our church went to a near by Buddhist temple and while the sky was cloudy and overcast, it lent to some great pictures as you can see.

THE PLAYOFFS ARE BACK!!!!!

A metamorphasis

With spring in the air I decided to pull off a good ol' fashion metamorphises. Off were shorn my lovely locks, chopped off with the aid of scissors borrowed from school, and then it was clippers the rest of the way. I tell you, it's quite a weight off my head and the days feel a lot cooler now.

Weekend Update

Well the past few days this week have held the old axiom both true and universal. April showers bring May flowers. Granted it's not necessarily May yet, but for the past week it's been raining on and off and now the flowers around here are beginning to blossom. I was out yesterday taking afew pictures and it was incredible to see. I walked up to one tree and to my amazment all I could hear was buzzing. I looked closer and there were bees hovering all around, going from one flower to the next, legs bulging with pollen. Amazing to see.

Teaching here is going ok. We're starting to see a drop off in our class sizes and a little bit of a rollback of our teaching hours. Before I was teaching 10 classes MWF and now I'm down to 9, which is nice. I've just finished my first week in April and it feels like time is just flying by now. I guess sooner than I expect it'll be the end of July and I'll be going home. It's strange how you experience time here. Sometimes it'll go by so fast you can't believe it and other times it just seems to go on for ever.

Anyways, here's some new pictures I took while I was out. Enjoy.

4 Months to go

As april starts up so does my last 3rd of a year in Korea. The weather has started to become very beautiful, except on the weekends, when it rains. This means that the kids are in class while it's bright and sunny outside, making them energetic and more of a handful. April's going to be our second straight month without a vacation day, but on the beginning of May we have a Monday off, Tuesday and Wednesday we work, and then Thursday and Friday off. So I'll be hopefully heading up to Seoul one of those weekends and be doing a tour of the DMZ.

Here's another thing I've been doing to keep me interested. I've downloaded a couple old Animaniac shows and I've found some good clips. Here's Yakko's Countries of the World.
