Korea's Changes

A few people asked me what I was graduating from that I was, well, endowed with a graduation gift. I have graduated from nothing, but my Korean kindergarteners have all moved on to elementary school. The new school year starts in March, and starting Monday I will be teaching completely new children every day. I'm excited about my new class, but sad to see my students go. I hate goodbyes, and I'm forced to realize that over half of my time here in Korea has already passed. 

Yet, time passing isn't all bad. On July 16th 2008, I wrote that Gimbap is one of the worst foods I've ever had, but somewhere in the past 7 months it's become my new favorite food. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it's only a 2,000 won meal. Truly remarkable things have happened since arriving in Korea, like my new found love of the color pink. In Korea, most things are shiny and bright and I've decided that my blog will be too.
