More food

The soup is called 칼국수 (cal-goo-su)or "knife soup." The ice dessert thingy is called "빙수" (bing-su) or shaved ice. Both are delicious. :D

A trip on my own!

Headed to Geoje Island for the weekend all by myself, sort of. Meeting up with a tour group in Gumi but I don't know anyone besides the guides, and I don't even know them all that well...

I was initially very worried about taking a trip all by myself. It's kind of intimidating..but then I realized that this is just a mini trip in my South Korea journey and I'm doing THAT all on my own. :)

Have a good feeling about this trip, think it's going to be amazing. I'll post some crappy phone pictures throughout the weekend and then hopefully better real camera ones by Tuesday.

제이름은 엠버 이에요.(My name is Amber.)

Look! I can write/speak a bit of Korean! A friend of mine is helping me, he's even giving me vocab tests and such. I've made progress but not as much as I'd like. Oh well, need to practice more.

저는 미국 사람 이에요. I'm American! 

Teaching gets a bit easier and then it gets tough again. My day is a giant roller coaster with cars for confidence, emotion and alertness. Everytime I feel great and that I'm improving as a teacher something happens and I feel like I'm back at square one. Here's to hoping things level off soon.

Snack Parties for Childrens Day!

I built cups filled with chocolately treats for Childrens Day.  All of my kids seemed to love them.
Oreo on bottom, pepero stick, oreo cereal and a sour apple ring. mmmm, sugar!

Spring, sort of....

It gets nice then cold then nice then cold again. Its really pretty when the flowers bloom...so I included a few photos of them.

Journey without Francia

First time riding the subway alone today.Thanks to Francia  I'm quite confident in my subway abilities....it's when I get off the subway that I'm a bit worried about...  Pretty sure  I'll remember where I'm going when I get off the subway but right now it's a giant question  mark. Wish me luck!

Finally found the strawberry festival crew and we're finally on the train. only 50 minuts until we're in Sintanjin. It's really foggy outside so I cant see hardly anything...oh well.

So foggy and rainy. Still a great time.^-^ On the way home now.
