Hey everyone! Nothing very interesting or special to report, but I think that's a good thing. Things are starting to feel somewhat "normal" for me over here. I have a routine of getting up, going to work, coming home and going to bed. Not that it's at all boring, considering I'm living in a foreign country where I have an adventure daily. I just feel like I've started to get into a rhythm instead of feeling like I'm out of place.
The kids I'm teaching are, for the most part, really great! They give me candy, gum, and stickers on a daily basis. They also expect the same from me ("Teacher, CANDY!"), but I'm "mean Teacher" because I never have any. Sorry kids.
One small adventure story: the other day, I badly needed a haircut. I didn't want to travel 30 minutes to Itaewon (town with a lot of foreigners), so I just walked into the first barber shop I could find. No one spoke English and the women sort of hesitated when I entered. Bad idea? Not at all! I'm really good at hand motions now, so I just explained how I wanted my hair and let her go to work. It's the best haircut I've had in 6 years. Oh, and it cost about $5.

Oh Alan... I think I know where I'm going come summertime!
The haircutters here in Texas do a horrid job at cutting my hair (usually) and it costs $20! So, now all I have to do is learn hand-motions. Sounds fun!
yey i want this haircutter here lol any haircutter didnt cut my hair how i want hehe:P and it costs almost the same like here, nice:)
ya big meme! Couldn't you spring a couple Korean "juan" for a few stickers for the little guys? Come on Nala...what if Mrs. Malter had been so cheap?? Try to remember what it was like being 5 or 6. Just some friendly advice.
