spunky - oh that explains :) good luck with that!

thanks maiden. i won't forget about your art shop. -hugs-

Thank you darling

Well enjoy work ^^
What kind of work? Class? Or grading?

Grading >_< I'm lucky to not teach today. Kids are otherwise engaged :D

Yay... at least you don't have to teach them. Are they rowdy at all?

i'm back at home from work. ooh teaching sounds like a hard job.

It really is... especially if you are teaching outside your content area in a country that doesn't speak English to kids who are so culturally different that misunderstandings and bad communication are a norm >_<

I am half Korean and I don't think I can manage living there. The longest I've ever stayed was two and a half months when I was a kid.

Half spunk half korean? Wow that's not a combination I've seen before :O

wow, you are? I have a student who is Korean and spend 3rd grade year overseas... he said he missed something in Korea because ever since he returned, to this day he doesn't understand a lot of things about his peers and his peers don't understand him.

The students that spent a year or more abroad are students I can pick out of the class within 20 - 40 minutes of talking with them.

So when I talk with or work around people who haven't been abroad, I feel something similar to despair because I know that they won't understand me... and the likely hood of me offending them might be higher.

i'm half Korean and half Taiwanese but i was born and raised in Los Angeles. I've only visited Korea a few times when I was in elementary school during my summer breaks. i admit that Koreans can easily be/get offended. lol
