Another One Of Those Quick Catch Up's

I can't believe it's been so long since I last made an entry. Time is really flying at the moment.

Well Ben has gone back to England now. We made him go to the Korean Fold Village, as he'd never been in the year that he'd lived here. So on the last Sunday before he left, Samantha, Brian, Ben and myself went there for the afternoon. It was good to see the various shows that they put on, as we'd missed them last time Samantha and I went there. Afterwards we hooked up with a few people, that wanted to say their final goodbyes. Saturday, was spent in Seoul. We started our Christmas shopping, as we need to send stuff overseas. In fact we managed to get most of it done, which was good.

The week in between at school, was uneventful. Telephone interview, which means a couple of late nights ringing up trying to catch the kids in, and not at some other academy.

Last weekend was Jorge's birthday. Friday we just hung out at ours, and had a 'pizza party'. Few of the guys came round, and a pretty good time was had by all. If a little of the fun was a Warren's expense. But that's just how it goes. He shouldn't have fallen asleep among a bunch of people who'd had a drink and were looking for some laughs.

Jorge had decided that he wanted to do the Han River cruise on the Saturday. So being the birthday boy, he got his wish. Luckily it wasn't that cold and evening, so it was a pleasent trip up the river and back again. Quite a few made it to the cruise, and then we met up with more later, and headed for Itaewon. By the end there was a pretty big gang of us hitting the bars and eateries. As always, we stuck it out until the very last. Well we had to, Jorge was with us and we couldn't let him down. We had to make a proper night of it, and into the next morning, and little into the next afternoon. Hmmm! It was a bit of a long session.

Anyway, Sunday late afternoon was one of the more eventful periods. Mr. Oh rang up and said he wanted to take us for food. Which is unusual. In fact has never happened before. So we knew there was something on the cards. Nothing was said all the way through dinner, just general conversation. Then after, he said he wanted to show us his new school! Now we had suspected that he'd bought another school, since he'd been spending less and less time at ours. Turns out it's a really nice school, one for the more elite of the Suwon area. He was short an English teacher in the morning for kindergarten, and asked if we'd consider filling in. I was the only one of us both available at the time he wanted, so I agreed. He's given me his cycle to use, so it only takes 5 minutes door-to-door. It makes a change, and we'll end up with an extra $100 a week, for what is only 45 minutes a day work.

So there you go, the quick catch-up. Think I managed to get everything in there. Oh, one more thing! They resubmitted our CV's to the university as more people are leaving than they first thought were. So you never know! Fingers crossed again, I think!
