Sangmu Props!

Last night was a big deal. I had food that tasted exactly like how it would in Newmarket. Surprise, surprise... a cheeseburger and chocolate shake from, you guessed it- McDonald's! Oh it was pretty darn good. The McDonald's in Sangmu even delivers! I tried to take a picture of the delivery bikes but my camera was missing the memory card. Next time I go I will make sure to take a picture, they're are pretty awesome. Sangmu also reminded me a lot of Toronto. It's actually what I envisioned Gwangju as before I came here. Not at all like my middle-of-nowhere area, Shinchang-dong. In Sangmu there are so many bright lights, big malls, outlet centres, hotels, penthouses and the list goes on. Holli calls Sangmu home and I am a little jealous.

I am currently sitting in the teacher's office waiting for everyone to finish a meeting so we can all go eat. I eat lunch for free and dinner on Friday free too, if I decide to stay late with the other teachers. Today is just a meeting but KErri wants to keep me around so that she can improve her English. She is getting crazy obsessed now. She just doesn't understand that her English will only improve if she just speaks it all the time, watches North American shows and reads in English.

I can tell that recently Kerri has been really upset with her lot in life. She's 29, has a 2 year old, a husband and I desire to do anything but be a mom or a wife. I am not saying for a second that she doesn't love her daughter, 'Yay Won' (phonetic), like crazy but all she wants to do is travel. She is a pretty ambitious character. Her most recent goal is to start her own afternoon school/ daycare. The plan is to teach here in the morning and then teach at her own private place in the afternoon. I don't understand how that is going to enable her to free up her time to travel but... I don't ask questions.

I get paid tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited. The last real 'challenge' I have to face is getting money wired to BMO back home. People do it all the time. I am not worried so much about sending it home, I am just concerned that it may not be the best option. I have heard of some other methods like using paypal or withdrawing back home from an international debit card but I have yet to meet anyone who has done either. Word of mouth isn't always the best around here. I am so hungry! Pegopah! Chicken tonight!

All of my kids are finally realizing that the teacher from Canada doesn't speak Korean. They are using what they know and incorporating some Korean to communicate with me and it is so cute. I end up repeating the Korean and they freak out. I'm not supposed to talk with them in Korean but I just ask them words here and there and as I mentioned before they are always willing to help out.

My internet at home wasn't working when I left for the gym this morning, it better be fixed when I get home. I have a little bit of an addiction.

That's all I got, I just wanted to really talk about McDonalds haha.
