Get Your Fingers Away from my Bum-hole!

Feelin' annoyed
Among the many transferrable skills I've picked up as an English teacher in Korea, none are more vital than being able to mime: "No, actually, it's not funny to point your fingers into teacher's butt." In case you find yourself in need of protection, it involves a lot of angry finger waving, eye squinting and bum protecting. Feelin' annoyed
Think I'm joking? Someone bothered to make a statue.
The Unplanned Future

Feelin' excited
In Phase 1, we did the "Rice and Beans Tour" and took on Mexico, Central and South America. It was a year that brought us from Mexico City to Buenos Aires where we road innumerable chicken buses, climbed active volcanoes, and learned the various local slang for the word "hangover". In Phase 2 (also called the "Teach the Youngins" phase) we went to Korea to teach and replenish the travel coffers. Now, folks, we are almost in Phase 3, the "Yet-To-Be-Named-Southeast-Asia" Phase. That's right. We've been informed that the last day of March will also be our last day of teaching and then we will be free to roam once more.Feelin' excited

Yoga Keeps Me Sane

Feelin' happy
There it is. My year in a nutshell: doing yoga has kept me sane. (Although if I exposed the full truth, I'd elaborate about long Skype calls, wine, chocolate...) But it's the bending and breathing of yoga that make a lasting impact.Feelin' happy
I've practiced on and off since high school always loving the balance it brough to my life. But when a friend that's been here a few years told me, "teaching in Korea's a good time to dive into hobbies," I didn't hesitate. I couldn't agree with him more, and I tell every newcomer I meet.
