9 days in. Going Strong.

Woo hoo!  2013 has proven to be a good year so far.  I've had lots of questions about when I will return home and my travel plans, so I thought I'd post some info here, as well as what I'm up to these days.  

Currently I'm teaching a winter camp.  I've tried to make it a little fun, by doing silly experiments.  The students still seem to find it difficult to pay attention, frequently asking me to watch the Simpsons as soon as class begins.  

So far we have done:

- a Soda Can Shake-Up 

- Pulling a sheet from under a place setting (Though I don't have any plasticware so we used books.)

- Egg drop experiment

- Testing the strength of hollow bones

Here are several students in my winter camp putting together their egg protection.  We only have camp for 4 more days.  I hope that I can keep them somewhat occupied during these next few days. 

삼겹살

Samgyupsal.  I've featured pictures of it before, but this was a particularly delicious version that I've had.  Thick slices of pork.  I believe it is the same cut as bacon, just not cured in the same fashion.  It is served with mushrooms to grill as well, and on the left is a washed kimchi.  I like kimchi (김치), but I much prefer the washed kimchi to the regular red variety.  My favorite way to have kimchi is grilled, as shown above.  It gives it a bit more of a mild flavor.  

The price of home in Korea

I'll be honest, I don't often purchase Reddi Wip at home, though I have been known to find uses for it when I find it.  I am a huge fan of running a strip of Reddi Wip down my finger for my own personal consumption.  Straight into the mouth is also a great way to enjoy it. :)  

The reason that it's here is because I saw this the other day and the price is rather exorbitant.  9,600 won is about $9.04.  Hahaha.  

   

 So... when am I coming home?

The question that's on your mind.  And what's going on after I leave Korea?  My contract is up at the end of February.  After I leave Korea, I will do some traveling in Europe and Egypt visiting friends and family.  I'm really excited to do some traveling and see lots of new places and sites!  

I will return home just in time for Easter on March 27th!

I can't wait to see all of your lovely faces!
