This morning, the apartment was sweatingly hot. If you can imagine the typical hot day in New Orleans and multiply that by 10 and subtract 2, that is how hot the apartment was. Even after two morning showers (Dan had 3) I still could not feel refreshed. Little did I know that many homes/apartments in Korea contain floor heating devices. So...naturally when we turned on the "A/C unit" (don't make me laugh) we turned on the heat in the floor unit. A stifling 35 degrees Celsius - and for all you American readers out there...that is a legitimate temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
Our day at school was fun, but busy. Meeting the students, answering questions and playing Hangman was the basic lesson plan for all classes on Friday. Dan and I have classes of different learning levels and different ages from about 8-16. We shall see how it progresses throughout the year! I will continue to write funny/new experiences and will definitely post pictures! Enjoy our Chronicles. Love, Rach
Leaving New Orleans :( I have a lot of stuff.
Our first real Korean meal. We pointed to the menu, said a few words that we knew and got this and 2 beers. Worked out, I suppose. This meal is called kimchi and is the most traditional Korean dish - it's basically spicy, fermented cabbage. Pretty tasty, regardless.

Our bathroom. Sorry if this grosses anyone out. But check out the proximity of the shower and toilet.

It is fascinating. You could eventually write a book from your blog!! Best of luck ya'll. I love you. Aunt Kathy
ReplyDeleteGood choice for your title and subtitle. Don't sign any modeling contracts w/out having Uncle Karl read it first. Skype y'all later.

Love the apartment! The bathroom isn't too bad, but I can agree a bit strange. Can't wait to read more about you and Dan's adventures so keep them coming. Kimchi looks very delicious :)

Rachel, this is brilliant. I hear Dan is doing something similar except his consists of scribbling notes in wax crayon on sheets of toilet paper. Only goes to prove you have the brains AND the good looks. Speak to you soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel & Dan,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys made it there safely and are enjoying yourselves. I always love your writings - they are always interesting and entertaining! Stay safe, and I look forward to your next post! Love, Aunt Rhonda
Is the showerhead above the sink the shower?
