Fireball, Jaggerbomb, White Russian, and Crown Royal
...we had to get pretty inventive with our liquor bottles..
Halloween also meant we got to teach our classes a little bit about the holiday. Most of the kids had heard about Halloween, but really didn't know anything about it. Em and I both showed our kids the "This is Halloween" song on youtube from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and played Halloween-themed games. While I'm not sure how much they took from the lesson, I still have kids coming up to me and saying, "Teacher, candy? Trick or treat!" They don't quite understand it's a one-day only kind of thing.
After the festivities of last weekend we hope to have a semi-quiet weekend here in Suncheon, although we may head to 광 양 시 (Gwangyang) to watch some of our friends play in the annual rugby tournament. And yes, as you may have guessed our Korean classes are going swimmingly! We are now fully able to read and write the Korean "alphabet" Hanguel, and are onto learning key words/phrases and some grammar rules. I can definitely appreciate how hard it is for our students to learn english... it's hard enough for us to learn Korean, and Korean is a language that's actually logical in the way it follows grammar rules with few or no exceptions! English, however, is another story...
Next weekend is our 10k run for the Suncheon Marathon, and the weekend after that is my birthday weekend and our 2nd trip to Seoul!! A little nervous for the run as my vice principal has announced he will be there cheering me on... haha, Korea is so weird.
On a somewhat sentimental note, Emilie and I realized we've had matching halloween costumes 5 years in a row now! I wonder where we'll both be next year, and whether we'll keep the tradition alive...?!
Bye for now!! Lots of love,
Jenna & Emilie
