A New Term

Well, I had a five day holiday there. Yesterday was my first day back at work. My schedule remains the same, although my adult classes have changed. I have my elementary teachers from two terms ago. It was nice to see them again; they're sincere and hardworking. I will miss my morning adults from last term, but I think I will enjoy teaching the new ones more, in part because they are at a much higher level of language.

In other news, did I mention you can listen to classical music in McDonald's here? Just one example of how South Koreans are more cultured than North Americans.

Hmmm.. Still cannot forget visiting the McDonalds down in Songtan that had Dr Dre's "Chronic 2001" pumping uncensored through outdoor speakers onto the sidewalk. "...and I got five on a muthaf#/ing 20 sack!"

Hi Max! I can't tell one rapper from another, but I've heard similar language on numerous occasions on outdoor speakers on the sidewalk. However, I've also heard a lot of classical music, too. I wonder if Koreans can hear and recognize such terms as they pass by the speakers belting out such stuff.

I also enjoy seeing young people with their classical instruments traveling the subway everyday. I think nearly everyone plays some kind of classical instrument here.
