dorm room.

it has been awhile i must admit.
however, i have found that i can access internet from my hallway.
which of course is a huge upgrade from the street corner.
here are some pictures of my place. i cannot say it is fancy.
so i hope you didn't have all these high hopes of luxury and modern furniture.
i won't say that i despise the place, but i have found a way to make it cozy and livable.
i will not show you pictures of my kitchen, because that my friends; i do despise.

so without further ado.

my front hallway where i place my shoes in the cupboard on the right. and my bathmat. yes to your left is my bathroom. it is a cold and dangerous trip from the shower to the bedroom.



this is what you see when you enter the doorway.
through those glass doors is one of the most disgusting kitchens ever. however, my brand new washing machine and microwave dwell there; so i must endure the grossness of my kitchen ever once and awhile.


my bathroom. you ask, where do you shower? such an unnecessary question. can't you see my shower head attached to my sick? and yes my door is wooden, i'm glad you asked. won't it mold? i don't understand the logic of some of these things... the stickers are impossible to remove. trust me. can someone send me goobegone?


the other side of my room. i always dreamed of having a fridge in my room. thank you korea.


this is my main living area / bedroom. i am going to paint a picture to go above my bed to fill up the space. but it's not bad eh?
and contrary to what you may see here, there were a billion winnie the pooh stickers when i arrived. and yes, what i did in my spare time was remove the stickers. how did you know? it served as hours of wholesome entertainment.



well i hope you enjoyed this fine tour.
perhaps, soon enough you will get to see more of what is going on. (maybe some super cute korean children hmm?)



miss you all.

orientation sensation.

there are about 500 teachers here.
it may seem like a lot. and it is.
and to think there is another 400 teachers on jeju island.
so here we are on our field trip (to the folk village that i tried to find previously), just hanging out and learning.
well some of us are.


word up to toronto.


our tour guide. how endearing is she?


where is the party at? in his hat!
ha.


i think i am going to live in this village.

time travelling.



on my attempt to find ye old folke village (not actually called that), i stumbled upon a celebration of such lunar year. i perhaps was mistaken by this festival for the hanok folk village.
however, it was not a loss, but a wonderful look into korean history.



this is korea's millenia time capsule.


make a wish and tie it to this rope.


don't hate me because i'm so lucky.

this used to be my job.

back in the day, i used to take family portraits.
it was the worst job in the world.
yes i waved little bells in front of kids to make them smile.
yes there were babies named laquisha.
and yes i was vomitted on.

but this.
this is what i would call the prevebrial jackpot.
