boring bundang

lately I haven't left bundang all that much. well actually i haven't left it at all. Even though we had days off and I wanted to make plans and go to the city or county, I couldn't. I just stayed at home. Good job andrea.

So it's just been me and Sam sam, my new computer ( i do miss those Hangul characters) and a bunch of bad dates from a recent post i made on Craig's list.  

the schools are going well, or at least going anyway, I've gotten used to this new schedule and the extra piles of work.

I think I'm in love with one of the gym instructors.  he has this tear shaped scar beside his lip on his cheek and all i think about when biking my butt off in front of him, is that i want to kiss that scar away.  crazy i know.  one of the many stupid things i think about when exercising.  

it's raining it's pouring.

next weekend i'm going to be in Daegu. The Chingari kids pictures and my pictures were accepted into a gallery show. I'm tres excited!

If life wasn't complicated enough I join this bag of shit.

I click on a profile and this is what I read:

i'll not accept those people:

1. the gays (including lesbians)

2. the people who judge a man by his appearance.

3. the egoists (i can't bear them)

4. over 33 years old.(sorry but nowadays, i feel i'm such old. dont wanna that feeling)

My Ideal Person:if u like travelling, conversation, advanture or u r warm hearted and broad-minded person, we can be good friends.

Favorite television shows: movie chanal Favorite films: man on fire

aaaaaaaaahahahah the gays! They will never accept "the gays"! I'm glad this individual is looking for a warm hearted and broadminded person. idiot. and is the movie channel supposed to be a tv show? I hate you whoever you are!

I've submitted an application to be part of an Art Show in Dageu and I think I've been accepted. My application was quite impressive.

In one word describe what inspires you: LEFTOVERS

What is your favourite thing about Korea: EATING FROM THE SAME BOWL AS OTHERS

What does art mean to you?: STUFFING SOCKS AND SEWING BUTTONS ON THEM.

yup, I'm a winner.

I shouldn't watch

documentaries on North Korea because they make me terrified to live anywhere close to the county. I have no idea what this one I am watching is called but it's mostly interviews with defectors and what they have to say, it's terrible and terrifying.

Now back to my own selfish blabber. this week was totally stressful due to the fact that my school decided to fire the other English teacher (they gave him a whole weekend notice!) because the children didn't like him anymore. This guy had taught there for 4 years! 4 friggen years! No one is Korea stays at the same school for 4 years. Anyway, good bye Pete Teacher, oh and Andrea Teacher, can you take over his class and work more hours per week, and by the way, we aren't going to pay you anything extra. ha....hahahah... hahahah.. what a bunch of fucking idiots.. I can't believe they were actually surprised when I told them that I was "SO sorry" aka go fuck yourselves and don't fire the other teacher!?

This was also the week of seeing Koreans actually biking on the road! Yes, surprise surprise I biked behind someone on the road for the FIRST time ever in my 2 year biking life in Korea.

Maybe drivers will start getting used to seeing bikers on the street and be able to drive by me without honking at me, yelling at me, trying to kill me, telling me to bike on the sidewalk because they are worried about me etc etc.

my cell phone is currently being held together with tape

weekend away in Muuido. sandy feet, sun shine and leaving Bundang is always welcome and wanted. The weekend started too early though, with me meeting Korean Jenny and then western Jenny for drinks Wed and Thursday. Jason came down on Friday and a bunch of us went to eat 참치 (delicious raw tuna) and of course drink kettles of ohshipsayju. Jason and I talked at length about a big trip to Nepal and India come March or April - which leaves me quite clueless as to do come March when my contract is up and I'm free to go or stay and get another job. Now that I'm working hours that most would consider normal but I consider crazy, I'm leaning more towards going away after the contract is up because I know I'll be awfully burned out and dying for some backpacking anyway. When ever dearest Jason stays over, he makes me stay up way too late and drink too much! It's not his fault, I'm easily persuaded - but I always regret it the next day, especially when we have to get up early to go to Muuido. But we got up, and took the airport bus and then a bus to the ferry and then the ferry and then a bus to the beach. whew. thank god transit is AMAZING in Korea. Everything is connected here by buses or subways or trains, and if it's not you can always take a cab for next to nothing. loves it. We meet up with about 20 others and rented little huts on the beach. I love meeting people, but it makes me so sad because these people live so far away that I probably will never see them again. This has happened so many times, with the Chuncheon girls, and other people I've met while travelling. You know seoul isn't that far away , but when you meet someone who lives on the other side of Seoul and you live on the other side of the other side it sure doesn't make it easy to become close friends. We sit around a bonfire with 3 people on guitar and the rest of us singing Bob Marley to our hearts content. One of laura's friends brought her fire spinning thingies so we all got to spin fire (auntie debs you would have been proud!) The beach we went to was called Hanagae Beach and as nice as it was the swimming sucked. The tide went out, wayyyyyyyy out and it was just mud flats for what seemed like miles. Also when the tide was in, the water never went past our knees. But it was fantastical to just get out for the weekend. hoo!) there is still sand in my ears...
