This is photographic evidence that Curtis really is addicted to Nori-bang!

These are some of the photos of my Saturday with the girls. Aren't they cute!

I wanted to catch up on some photos but also do a small mid week post.

Last Sunday after Taebeksan, I went to E-Mart and bought way too many groceries for one person to carry home no matter the distance. I toughed it out with 4 - 10 minute breaks. When I got in the main door of our apartment building I yelled for Curtis. My arms were so sore!! They felt like they were being ripped from their sockets. After about 10 minutes I felt fine so I didn't think much about it. The next day I could barely lift my arms to put deodorant on! My shoulders clear down to my forearm muscles - yeah even those tiny ones in my forearms!- were so stiff and sore with knots. It was almost work time so I had no choice but to suffer the first day. I went to bed early to get up early and seek out a massage of sorts. I was feeling a bit nervous because I didn't want to accidentally request a "top secret massage" or a "sensual massage". I just wanted the therapeutic type a good set of strong hands. The first place I went to I had noticed one day on our way to Nori-bang. It was 10:00 am and this place was completely dark. I'm not sure exactly what that meant, but I decided to try somewhere else.

I thought my best bet might be the place Curtis got his hair cut. I mean, in Canada - most salons also have masseuses, right? I get there and ask if they have someone who can do a massage and when you ask for something in Korea the people are bound and determined make what they have work for you - or at least try to convince you that it will. The closest thing they had was a scalp treatment with neck massage and the girl was going to rub my shoulders as a service. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but it definitely took the edge off. They blow dried my hair as well so I went to school looking like a rock star. All in all a great experience.

This week at school has been really different too. It's the first time we've had to administer tests. Test days are great - for teachers that is. They are so quiet and mellow. I mean, I wouldn't want class like that all the time, it would be too boring. I do, however, love it as a break for a couple of days.

My cell phone has been super handy lately - I text people and send them little faces. It's pretty fun and it really does keep you connected with people. Speaking of which - we met Naomi today. She is the person I was connected with in order to help us find the church we're interested in. She's so cool and nice. It was great to talk to her and know another person here. It also turns out that we have similar quirks like wearing our heart on our sleeves and telling people our emotions right away. I like her lots. :)

We've been planning to see the musical "We Will Rock You". It's coming to Seoul and I love Queen so I thought it would be amazing. Gisela told us about it when we first met her at Amber's birthday party. I was on line and ready to buy tickets today - MK was helping me as everything was in Korean - and it turns out you can only purchase them if you have an Korean credit card because it asks for this crazy pin number that my credit card didn't have. I'm going to wake up early to see if I can go down there and purchase tickets at the venue. Other than that, I'm not sure what we can do. I hope it all works out. Cross your fingers for me!
