Week 2 - Done

Well it is Sunday afternoon and I am getting ready to go with Tessa to see the V-Day Monologues. I'm curious to see how it is and how the Korean people respond to it. Should be interesting.

So, yesterday was a beautiful day so I went out and wandered around my neighborhood. Went and bought some stuff and then came home to have a mellow night in. I decided to take a shower and about 5 minutes into my shower, just after putting in my conditioner the water turned off...no hot, no cold, no nothing....since I don't have a phone there was really no one that I could call so I just dried off left my hair in a towel and went to bed.

I had told my director at school about my shower flooding my kitchen so the landlord showed up today to check on it. He is a very nice man, named Park, but he does not speak a word of English...so I spent about 30 minutes drawing pictures, asking about my water, when I will get a washing machine, what day the trash goes out, and the thermostat. If nothing else by the end of this year I am going to be a pro at charades and hopefully will be better at drawing.

Speaking of my drawing I was drawing pictures of things that start with the letter "C" I drew a pictue of a cat and the boys started laughing hysterically at me saying "teacher crazy cat." It wasn't intended to be a crazy cat, but whatever works.

There is a very interesting smell about Korea, the teachers at the school started laughing at me when I said that Korea smells like a cross between toilet water and fish....it is however a very accurate description. And if you know me you know I don't like the smell of fish....but I'm adapting.
