Most normal days, my world revolves around the 5 minute radius that is my apartment, work, and the dumpling man. So, here is what I see on my walk to work in the morning:
 |
| Right outside the door to my building |
 |
| The extremely picturesque dump I pass. Jealous? |
 |
| Seafood with the cooler outside that holds the live fish- here, some sort of shellfish |
 |
| Then, I turn a corner |
 |
| Then, the pedestrian walkway lined, mostly, with restaurants |
 |
| Then, I cross the street and I've made it! The building on the left with the green stripe? Home sweet work. |
When I get to work, I always have something to do- grade review tests, speaking homework, writing homework, and usually- all of the above. I sit at my (newly organized) desk and look at the tissue cover I have just purchased (now I have girl tissues) and then make the difficult decision of what color I want to correct in that day. Sometimes green, sometimes blue, if I am feeling super cool- I go for orange.
Then, it's time for lunch, and, more often than not, I make a pilgrimage to the dumpling man.
The dumplings are called mandu and they only cost 1,000 won (so less than 1 dollar) and they are one of the best things ever.
I go back to work, eat my dumpling, and then the kiddos start to arrive.
When classes are done, I spend some more time putting grades into the computer and chatting with with coworkers, and then I make my way home.
 |
| A constant reminder of many of the places still on the list |
 |
| This was put in just recently, but the smoked meat smells SO good- it's on the list to try |
 |
| Dog friend I pass every morning, and every evening. |
And there you have it. A day in the life!
