A day in the life of.....

  Monday 14th May I woke up this morning feeling very tired. I had my first Korean language class last night, which went very well, and then I went for a late tea of super tasty Haejangguk 해장국, or as we call it 'Spinebone Soup', with a guy called Paul.

Add a balloon into a class of girls and what do you get?

I was trying to get my students to talk about their likes and dislikes so we played a game of volleyball(oon). They had to say a sentence and then hit the balloon to the other team. Every correct sentence got them 3 points. They started cheating and only passed the balloon to people in their own team. It got very competitive but at least it got them talking lol
