Couple little things to report.
Did a 10k last weekend. It was just a fun one organized by another teacher here. I think there were about 20 of us running either a 10k or 5k. I did the 10k, but walked a few times. It was pretty hot out, but it was super fun. We ran around this lake park that I always run at. We got many stares as we all took off together. I think most of the Koreans thought we were crazy. The best part(besides the Sunday Funday that followed the run) was playing in the fountains after we were all finished. Great way to end a hot race.
Here's a pic in the fountain after the race...I'm way in the back, can only see half my face...fun time for sure!!!
It has been hard going to work as the weather has gotten nicer. I'm finding that I'm actually missing working at the pool. This is the first time in 6 years that I haven't spent my days at the pool. However, what is making the days bearable is that fact that we have a week off in July, and a bunch of us booked tickets to the Philippines last week!!! I've looked at a few pics and it looks beautiful. We are going to Borocay, which is a pretty popular place. We are all pretty darn excited. I think we have about 35 teaching days until we head out. Not that we're counting.
Well that's about it. The weather has warmed up quite a bit, and even though it pretty hot during the day, it's worth it for the nights. Pretty much all the restaurants have seating on the sidewalks, so people basically sit outside all night drinking. It's a fun atmosphere. Oh and also, the World Cup starts this weekend. I usually don't get into that too much, but they go crazy for it here. Korea plays at 8 30pm on Saturday. They have a huge area in Seoul where they set up screens and such. Someone said about 100,000 people go to watch it there, so I think we are gonna try to check that out on Saturday. Should be a good time.
Okay well I hope this finds you well. Talk again later...
