Woke up this morning at the ungodly hour of 7am. This is not what I think of when I stay in a hotel. I think, long rests, TV in bed, more sleeping, long showers with the massage jets on high and some lighthearted jumping on the bed. But no, I had a train to catch so all of that had to get sped up. I rested for a whole 2 minutes after the alarm, turned on the TV and turned it off again straight away, took a 10 minutes shower with no massage jets (I didn’t want the temptation) and had a casual flop on the bed. Then I had to rush and get out of there. Grabbed McD’s on the way, hopped into a taxi and got stuck in a traffic jam. I started panicking when I had only 15 minutes to get there and was sitting in some alley with 20 cars between me and the nearest intersection. I made the taxi driver perfectly aware of my train time just to make sure he wasn’t planning on giving me a the scenic tour. Got there, magically I think 5 minutes later and dashed to the platform. Phew! It took me a good 10 minutes of down time on the train to relax again. I hate early starts.
Getting back to Seoul was a little bit comforting. The bigger the city the better I say, but I really did miss the holiday. And the beach… oh the beach. Going to school on the other hand was a total drag. Had a while to read before little hads started grabbing me from all directions. Constant requests for me to fling them about while they scream. “Teacher, game!” as soon as I enter the room. Oh, sometimes its hard.
But most of the time its not and after an hour or so, the infectious enthusiasm of these little people had me back in the zone. You have to love kids. .
Tonight I went and had some dinner at my usual Kim Bap House restaurant eating the same dish that I eat every day, wearing the same clothes that I had been in since waking up in Busan and it occurred to me that I haven’t really given a good description of the local dishes. At the very least I should show you what I’m talking about when I refer to my daily dish. So here are some pictures of my meal to help you understand.
