A day of Firsts

Ahhhh a day of many firsts for me......

The first first (.... HA HA!!!) for today was having somebody knock on my door looking for me specifically (though this was the second time cos the first was with some lay telling me to turn off my light on the balcony :P) the next first was being rudely awakened by that knocking; in this particular instance the emphasis is on the rudely cos i was actually awake but just spooked me to actually have somebody knocking on my door. It was Ryu and the internet/cable guy

Next first was me connecting to the internet NOT in either work or Smokey Hole :P so of course the first thing i do is video call with my girly :) also i started my downloads again..... and i decided to test the bandwidth too... so Shir gave me a whole bunch of downloads and i started ALL of them... i set the d/l limit to 10 downloads, had a video convo going and was also surfing the net.. .....
the video feed didn't suffer a bit not even a hiccough.

impressive no ? :P

Another first is for me to have cable TV :P
i'm not really sure how much good this'll be cos well.... if i'm at home i'll either be videoing or gaming.... but still point is that i have it... ... so like :p
YAY! :P i think ? :

Alright so while he was here, Ryu also asked about my hot water... and i said i hadn't figured it out yet so he had a poke around and did some stuff... and BOOM!
hot water coming out of my taps.... which hasn't really happened except for a very short time near when i first landed here.

That man is like an angel to me... he brings me internet and restores my faith in my hot water system....
An Angel indeed.

Also and as part of a good host i made the fellow some tea... and cos i was eating anyway i made dumplings for us...... even gave one to the internet guy when he was finishing too... he DID put internet into my house after all so i had to do SOMETHING right? :P


SO no thanks to my internet, and my highly attractive girlfriend staring back at me through my laptop, i was 'late' to work, late meaning that i have to like super rush to write my lesson plans up and get ready for class.

So class begins.........

now here's where people will either laugh at me.... or just flat out won't believe me.....



So i'm teaching a class called "Conversation 4" with this group of kids and just messing around with the lesson and i tickled this kid Justin... so he tries to poke me so i turn away at start to walk back to the board........






......... then he pokes me in the ass...........







no i'm just gonna have a lot of space here so you can all just picture this.....
the kid's barely as tall as my leg mind you....
and he pokes me in the ass...



Okay so THAT was definitely a first....prior to this i'd only read about this shit happening....it's called kancho in Japan..... but here's it's called "dong shim" literally meaning 'shit *something*" like... lance or something.

So anyway that was a bit of a shock..... so i walk over to 2 other kids.... and this fella runs over and tries to sack whack me ..
:|

for those who don't know... a 'sack whack" is when you get smacked in the crotch area with an open hand.... (obviously it's pretty much a guy's only type thing) anyway i say tried because i happened to be squatting in a pair of thick jeans so thankfully my jeans created a *very* protective buffer between my 'sack' and his 'whack'

i'll post pictures of lots of things up later... probably weekend when posting topics are scant.

I'm sure i had other stuff to say but i'll talk about a class i had with some students.... the oldest (and brightest) class of boys (i could say 'of course' but i'm afraid my darling will follow justin's example....and NOT miss) and we had a discussion (pretty simple one of course) about the implications of cloning. Pretty deep huh? :P

Anyway.. so that was pretty cool :P

then apart from that, a couple of us switched our shifts around so one the Canadian girl could get home and sleep after an exhausting weekend in Busan.

Nothing much else happened today actually.. i'd swear i had more to write about but honestly i can't remember :P


stay tuned for more action each day....

Right here on Bev's Korea :P
