I’m not trying to show off. As anyone who can read (let alone speak) 한국어 will tell you the previous post is very bad grammatically speaking. (Indeed, I’m sure parts of it don’t even make sense - they sure as hell didn’t in English so why should they in Korean?) Not to mention the proper nouns that I have no idea whether to transliterate into 한글, or whether there are korean words. (a dictionary is bugger all use when it comes to the names of stuff). And I think I used the term for urination rather than accuratly trying to convey that the rain was "pissing down" Hopefully you lot (you know who you are) can appreciate that it took me a good hour and a half to rewrite the original post in a way that Google Translation could understand! - That’s right! you too can impress your friends by pretending to know Korean much better than you actually do! LOVE IT!

In other news: Mad props to this cutie who ‘TyPes Lk dIs’ but isn’t afraid to admit to everyone on the internet that she likes sHoRtLaNd sTrEet.

With all the hype I forgot to mention that Conan got fired for not turning up to work. (And I think for having such a silly English name) And I allowed myself a good (inward) smirk of satisfaction tinged with relief - in that he wasn’t that good now was he? In his place the lovely and very friendly (and very married with two children - a boy and a girl - aged 2 and 3 respectivly) Clair, who has 5 or 6 years teaching experience, and studied in Perth, Australia meaning both of my collegues talk with horribly mangled Australian - Korean Accents. (just kidding - they’re not that mangled!)

As I have mentioned my 6o’clock class is continuing to give me shit and thankfully Clair has picked up on this as well. We now both anxiously wait as the wheels of power slowly turn their way towards a timetable change and a chance to split the class in two.

Elsewhere I take great comfort in knowing that each morning I can run down to the crown bakery and get a good tall Americano for W1500 (NZD$2.10) but do you think they’re trying to tell me something? (See picture)

Go Away indeed! I hope this is Konglish for Take out.

And finally as I write this it is quite literally the time of birth 2 years ago of someone very very special to me
