Korean educatonal system

Today several of my 5th grade students, who have supposedly been learning English for over two years, couldn't translate the word "eat" from Korean to English. They said they forgot.

Fresh fruit

I was recently asked if I eat a lot of fresh fruit in Korea.

Does anyone know if it is possible to overdose on tangerines?

transportation needs solved!

Decided to go on a walk in a new part of town this evening. Found a store specializing in rollerblades. $70 later and I'm skating down the streets of Korea.

Jacket etc

Well, this is my new coat. It's slippery synthetic filled with down, so it feels like I am wearing a sleeping bag. I got it from the nike store, which seems to be one of the only places that carries larger sizes. For the amount of time it has been since my last real blog, nothing really has happened. I just keep plugging through my English classes earning time to relax and study afterward. It is ironic that all the competetive jobs go to men in Korea when it is so obvious in my classes that the girls are the only ones with brains in their heads.

I am officially 400 pages into my medical physiology book with about 500 to go.
