First, at school we had a kindy PJ party, which was a lot of fun! June and I dressed up for the occaision; me being a Kangaroo, June a Hamster. The kids loved it but it was sooooo hot inside the costume!
Me with little Eddy and Olivia from Turtle Class.
Me, Jeff, June and Eddy.
A few weeks ago I got my hair straightened using a Japanese process called Magic Straight Volume. The humidity here finally took it's toll and being fed up with uncontrollable frizz and looking like I've had my finger in the power socket every morning, I took the plunge! I was so scared! The results??? You be the judge, though my sanity was reward enough for the 6 hours spent in the hairdressers!
Everyone has to have a real dodgy "before" photo..unposed..no makeup, blemishes, bad lighting etc etc.....here's mine.
And......... then came........
Straight with my first bangs (fringe) since I was about 8!!! Big step!
One of the other teachers from ECC, Eddy, completed his contract and has moved on. For his farewell we had a fantastic dinner and also visited a really funky Hookah Lounge. Was pretty cool and chilled out as you see in the pics. There were lots of bongos, guitars etc lying around for you to pic up and play, a few quiet drinks, a DJ who looked like a little weasel, good friends and of course hookah! Overall a top night!
Today Tan and I visited the Korean Folk Village. I've already been there, however Tania hadn't so I didn't get too many photos. Here's a few!
It was sooooo hot today that we invested in little umbrellas to shield our delicate complexions from the harsh rays..Man we felt like Nanas but hey it worked a treat!
Anyhow, things are going great at the moment with everything, there are some changes in my schedule at school which means I will do slightly less hours and get to go home at 2:15 Tuesdays and Thursdays which is cool! In a bid to lose some kilos I have started swimming in the mornings for an hour 3 or more times a week. The old Koreans think I am an olympic swimmer or something as I am so tall and swim laps with reasonable ease and speed (big feet are good for something!) Tan and I had an interesting introduction the the Korean swimming pool experience. Lets just say there was nudity, involuntary blasting with water and red faces!
Better get some zzzzzzzzzz's,
Smile, laugh and dance in front of the mirror in your undies to whatever music makes your hips wiggle!
Miss y'all!
