The new teacher has arrived!

Here is a pic from the Dublin Bar on St. Patrick's Day, Friday night. Dave and I doing what we do best...... drinking pop!



Monday is upon us again. We have good news; the teacher has arrived at our school. He is currently observing classes, but I think he will be teaching soon....if we have anything to do with it... haha.
It will be nice for our load to be loosened and be back to having at least a break between almost 6 hours straight of teaching.
The new teacher's name is Tony. He is from Idaho. He is young and seems very excited about teaching and the whole Korean experience.

On another note, I went to the hospital on the weekend and saw the specialist. I had x-rays done and the results came back that I have ligament contusions on the bicep, shoulder and forearm muscles. In layman's terms that means that they just tightened up and need some therapy or they are **********!

I started on Saturday with some reflex therapy and some electro-therapy. My elbow feels a little better, but only time will tell. The doctor said that he will re-examine me in 3 weeks after the therapy and if things have not improved by then, he will do an electro-nerve test. Let's hope that the therapy does the trick. I went for my second one today and the elbow is sore, but it feels a little more flexible.

Liverpool won last night 3-1 against Newcastle, so the fight is still on to catch Man U in the league. I don't hold up much hope as they have 2 more points than us and 2 games in hand. They would have to mess up really bad to lose 6 points and I can't see that happening. But Liverpool can still win their last games and have a chance, I suppose. Liverpool play Birmingham on Tuesday night in the F.A. Cup quarter-finals. Only 2 days rest is a bit much to ask after just playing a game!

This is a pic of a temple downtown Chuncheon, right in the middle of shops and stores.

Kyoung Hee, Dave and I went to Chuncheon on Saturday afternoon. We met a girl that Dave is currently friends with and she was awesome. Very well mannered and a little shy of course meeting 3 new people, 2 of whom were foreigners. We met some of her English class friends at the Dakalbee place. Dakalbee is very very spicy chicken and Chuncheon is very famous for it.

Her name is Hi-Sun and she has been a nurse for over 10 years. She is very outgoing and very nice company. We went to a night club also, which I normally hate, but actually had a good time. It was a small night club and was not really packed. Kyoung Hee and I hadn't been on a day trip for a long time, so it was good for us.

We stayed at a hotel and then in the morning met Dave again downtown Chuncheon and had dakalbee again! Then we went and watched the Korea vs Japan, third game of baseball, which ended up 6-0 for Japan.... oh well. We watched it at a coffee/bar place called Cancun. It was decorated in real Azteca style and was really cheap to tell you the truth.

Mi -Sun paid for our meal the first night plus the night club; unbelievable really.
She ended up coming back with us in Dave's car to visit Bundang as she had Monday off. I guess she headed back to Chuncheon today on the bus. I hope we meet up with her again. She lives so far away though, it could be difficult.

I got back and got to watch the Liverpool game live... awesome as they won 3-1.
So I can say I had a good weekend and as I am typing this, a great Monday.
