"So I'm teaching afternoons now, too?"
It was great to meet my four students and spend the morning and afternoon with them today during my first full day at work. They are Andy (quiet and well behaved, but with a tendency to enjoy poking me), Arthur (an excellent talker, but can be very sensitive), Eddy (finger in nose all day long, but potentially bright) and Torin (perfect student, awesome name) and they are for the most part, a...

New Job - Day One
In my mind, I envisaged today as an early start, cleaning my classroom, completing all administrative paperwork, signing contracts, before being shown my student files and the books that will be used to teach them. I then expected to be left alone to my own devices to write get to grips with the new material and create lesson plans for the upcoming week.
Sufficed to say, it did not quite work out...

청소 아줌마(들?!)
As I sit here awaiting the marauding clan of cleaning ladies to knock on the door and destroy my apartment (in a clean, neat and tidy manner), I wonder to myself how I’m going to maintain the tense of this blog post.

개봉 투 강남
Good morning, Gangnam! The first hurdle of the day has been cleared with relative ease and haste. The move was nowhere near as strenuous as I had envisaged and although I fear slightly for the wellbeing of my Mac Mini, I’m glad to be here. I owe Jiny쌤 greatly for arranging the truck and also for the second hurdle of the day - the cleaning ahjummas. After a long night spent oscillating...

Reasons Why G-Dragon is cooler than you
welcome-to-korea:
Not only can he moonwalk like a boss,
He can do it at your favorite theme park,
On the great wall of China
At Buckingham Palace
In your favorite movies,
While defying the laws of science,
This boy even has swagger on the moon.
지드래곤 is cooler than me. And you.

Dear January,
I really need to start taking more footage like this.
seoulintranslation:
The great thing about having a new camera (with awesome video settings) is being motivated to use it to its full potential. Lucky for me, there are great tutorials online & amazing friends that have been helping me along the way. This is the first official video for 2012, so here’s January’s video celebrating a few of...
