Morning all,
So I've been sick with a bad cold for the past week but since it's extremely difficult to miss a day of work in South Korea I've been teaching, teaching, teaching and trying to recuperate in the evenings. Thera-Flu, Fisherman's Friend (brought from Canada), Airborne Vitamin supplement, and numerous teas, have seen me through this rough week.
Yesterday we had heavy rain for the first time and many Koreans were very "paranoid" about it being radioactive. We have done a little research and it would appear as though there is no danger from radiation, however we all brought umbrellas and some kids stayed home from school so that was a little interesting!
Last weekend Nicole and I (but just me since she is vegetarian) experienced our first Korean "fried chicken place" consisting of a platter of fried chicken pieces (1 entire chicken) for 12 bucks and 2.50 beers. There were a range of hot sauces, from mild to melt your intestines, and all were delicious. After 2 chickens (split between 6 people), a dried squid, some crunchables, and a copious amount of beer, we all cabbed home. The entire night cost Nicole and I $40 which was a wonderful change from a Canadian night out.
We both also got our first month's pay so ... YES!!! We can now live and enjoy ourselves in this fine country without drawing on funds from back home. Soooo ... that means more adventures are soon to come, as well as more blogs. Hopefully we'll have internet soon! Then we shall be connected. For now...
Cheerio!
Joe
A Comment From Nicole:
ReplyDeleteYes, the night out was a "good deal" although I did not get much out of it, as no dinner for me! It kinda sucked.
Whohhh Whooo, radioactive rain!
