Back to blogging

I am back to blogging. Internet problem fixed. It was my web browser but I just downloaded a new one to my external and installed it and problem fixed yay! Ok soo Where do I start ? I'll start with last week. I went to the hospital to get my physical for my alien registration card. I had my blood taken, urine, weight , height, x-ray of my chest. It was interesting going there because that day alot of native speaker teachers were there as well. We were all on different schedules so there was no time to sit and talk, I had to get back to school because I was having dinner with the principal. Dinner with the principal was interesting. We went to a restaurant where we had golbi (marinated beef or pork cooked over a fire in front of you) and *name to come* ( basically thick sliced bacon cooked on a fire in front of you). Both were very good. In Korea when you eat out you basically share the side menu (various veggies and kimchi). The side menu there was kimchi of course, this coleslaw like thing, soup, rice or noodles, and leaves to make wraps with the meat. There was this one leaf there that was just horrible it tasted like a forest. It was bitter and gross, I hope I am never lost in a forest and forced to eat this foul leaf again. There wasn't much for conversation. Thank goodness Ji-Hye was there they would ask a question and I would answer yes or no sometimes elaborate but that was the gist of it. After dinner the vice principal, who also went with us, dropped us off near my apartment. Time to go teach will blog later. ta
