Today the founder of RT came to give a presentation at our school. Our boss told us about it yesterday night, about 5 minutes before we left, and told us if we wanted to hear him speak he would start at 10:30.
Yeah, because I want to go to work 2 hours early to hear a guy drone on in Korean about RT. . .
Anyway we got here about 12:10 (a little early so we could at least meet the guy, and more importantly help put away all the chairs), but he was STILL TALKING! The man gave his presentation for over 2 hours!
Mostly I was kind of surprised at how little everyone cared that he was coming. I thought for some reason that the guy who started this regime would get a little bit of respect around here. Maybe they're all waxing poetic in Korean and I just don't know, but nobody seems to care that he's here.
The Kindercuties are having Market day so we don't have any classes! Sweet! Plus they're celebrating Lunar New Year so they're all running around in mini-hanboks! (however you spell it) And I have nothing to do, or at least nothing I want to do, so I'm blogging. . .
I got my penpal letters in the mail (save one kid's who simply refuses to do any work in class, he's your penpal, Trav, for good reason!)! Fondue cooking class was an imense success and next week we're having a talent show! I wonder how talented these little kiddos are. . . I've felt pretty good about work lately for some reason. I guess it helps to be putting forth some stuff that I'm a little proud of. Hmm, now that I've said that things will probably go down hill pretty quickly.
Oops.
Happy Holidays

We had something similar last week. The president of our hagwon came to town and we were required to sit through an hour and a half speech in Korean. We were even told to bring notebooks so it would look like we are taking notes, not that we understood more than 4 words.
Haha that sucks! Luckily we didn't have to do that, because he did talk for so long! I'm impressed at the amount of information they feel the need to impart on poor listeners.
Hope Korea is going really well for you!! Do you get a break for Lunar NY?
