We English teachers have had the last week off from classes, since the students are taking mid-term exams. The English mid-term is a computer-based listening exam, so we were free for the week. But, back to work tomorrow.
About the only thing I got around to doing was to go up to Seoul on a quick overnight trip. There were some personal items I needed to buy that I’ve only been able to find at a foreign foods market in the capital. It’s always an expensive journey up there, so, like I said, it was a quick trip up and back, but at least I was able to get what I needed.
I found some directions on the Internet for locating a foreign products market in Gwangju, so I took the bus there a few Saturdays back, since it’s so close, to look for the place. Alas, the directions were virtually useless, and after walking around for several hours in the supposed neighborhood where the rumored market was to be found, I gave up. Never did find it.
We’ve had more than a few days of rain over the past week and the week before, up to a couple of inches each time. The temperatures have fallen and the wind has been its usual nasty self – very un-springlike. Fortunately, the forecast is calling for nicer weather in the coming week.
So far I’ve watched all of the Yankee games, but it’s been a mixed blessing, especially after the 2 heartbreaking losses to the Red Sox. Perhaps tomorrow the tables will be turned. More later.
