More Photos!! I know this is what keeps you all coming back so here are a bunch more!!
Ok so top to bottom. The top left hand corner is a photo of the clothes I ordered before I left Canada. I was so excited when they finally arrived I took a pic!
Next is the gorgeous gate at the Kueungi University where we met
Erin and father for Lunar New Years.
The next is just a picture of a small shack style convenience store. I love this one because in the "O" of "OK" you can see a little cartoon octopus. It's so cute!!
Next we have some kids from school on the school bus. I caught them one day as I went out to get my lunch. They're so great!
From time to time new parents come to enrol their students in our school and they bring along little ones. This particular one was so adorable. I had to be sneaky with the camera because the instant she saw it her smile turned into a frown. I remember her particularly because she was little imp! She make the cutest low voice and was trying her best to speak, but even the Koreans couldn't make out what she was trying to say.
The next is a pack of stickers that I got here. It's so amazing how cheap stationary is. The bigger sheet is double sided and cost me &1.50. The smaller one has larger stickers and they're all glittery and fancy and it cost 80 cents. Shocking!
Curtis and I are making a heart at Nori-bang because I've had a couple of drinks and he's humoring me.
That next one is Amber Matt Curtis and I at the movie theaters. At this one theater in COAX mall they set up displays that have props from the movie in them. You can sit in them or stand by them and then wait till someone who looks nice walks by and ask them to take you picture! At first it seems really cheesy and then you see that it's something people do here - it doesn't quite feel so touristy.
The amazing gift we got from our boss follows. Now think - not one of those but two.... sheesh, I mean we won't have to buy soap or tooth paste for the year! Ferd and Chris will have to testify when they come in May that we still have over half of it!
The next one I'm actually really proud of. Before arriving to Korea, I heard that Seoul had an amazing recycling program and that there is hardly any waste because everyone has to buy special bags and if you don't use them you can get fined. Well, none of my Canadian co-workers knew about them and the Koreans just kept saying ask at the till. I couldn't figure out how to say garbage bag for the longest time. After 2 and a half months of hoping we don't get caught and using shopping bags, I finally remember how to say "Shuraygi bontu!" Those are the ever so special garbage bags!
The other four tell their own story of us devouring frozen yogurt. MMMMMM.....
The End

So what's with the shopping bags? What're they for - one for recyclables and the other for wastes that aren't reusable?
Also, hey, do you know if/when/where you'll settle when you come back to Canada? *grin* I'm so excited, I'm getting worms to start composting and the lady I'm getting them from is in Calgary.
You're right on the money. The white bag is for non-recyclable waste and the orange one is for food waste. The recyclables all have their own reusable twine sacks. Oh I miss my worms! The best way to keep your worms happy is to give them good quality earth that seals when it's wet. That way you don't get fruit flies too!
