I am gliding through things liek the leaves falling all around the city! It is absolutely beautiful! :) My darn sd card won't fit into my computer! I guess that's what happens when you try and do personal things at school. But I figured I have done my lesson plan for next week-so what the hell! Besides I need to comment on all the goings-on! I will shortly upload some of the magnificent photos I have been snapping of the golden trees aroudn Chuncheon. They are absolutely stunning! It is as if someone has painted the town gold and it is glimmering everywhere! Nevertheless, it is super chilly already adn I have a sneaky feeling it will be gone soon -so trying to enjoy it while I can!
Here is a pic of me on my scooter and my new Zara down coat! I absolutely love it! My scooter has given me such a ticket of independence it is just wonderful. The other day after class and before Korean class I decided to just scoot around and take in the city. It might not be completely roadworthy considering the speedometer doesn't work, the mileage is still on 1069.8km , the tyres are worn, only the right brake works, the key doesn't start the engine so I need to jump start it everytime, and lastly the lights are temperamental! EISH! I am alive when I am on it-and occasionally have broken out in full song including "Summer Holiday", "man I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain, and "SHout to the Lord" from primary school days! :) I absolutely love it! And besides my helmet looking rather unfashionably large according to my students they still think I am cool! :)
So, the reason for extreme overexcitement is that fro teh next 2 months I am pretty much fully booked full of things to do! This weekend I am heading with my Korean teacher Sun to a temple and the oldest Korean school near Wonju! We need to head off early at 6:30am to beat the crowds! EISH! I am looking forward to it! Then, next weekend is Chuncg's birthday and will hang around Chuncheon. The weekend of the 20th November I am off to Seoul to party it up wiht my dearest friend Lisa Lau as she comes to paint Korea red. The weekend after that I am off to a temple stay (Buddhist retreat) where we are woken up at 3am to do meditation and have lectures on life-totally my thing! :) That Monday I am back in Seoul for THE JONSI CONCERT (for one night only) -he is the lead singer of the group Siguros-so excited!! That music makes me want to jump up and down! Back in Seoul on 4 December for the Fourtet concert with Kirst. The following weekend I am going with one of my students and her family for a skiing expedition in the mountains in Gangwondo! EEEK! And then My parents and bros arrive!!! YIPPEEE! WE have finalised our trip (lucky I have been given time off by my school to take with them)! WE are going to tour Seoul, doing a trip to the DMZ, then Gyeongju and will have Christmas with them in Busan probably eating some delectable fish for Christmas dinner! The final week of the year will be spent teaching my boys for winter camp and then bring on 2011!!!!
JUST GREAT! Now, I am off to badminton! Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
I need to tell you about my wonderful classes this week about South African public holidays and apartheid! They were a great hit! Sending all my positive energy into this world!
Bisous
