Caveat: Heading South – About 8300 km

Banalities & Journaling / Hiking & Travel

I think I'll go to Australia now.  Sitting, waiting for the airplane. 

I will have a 10 hour flight to Sydney – almost straight  South! – where I have to wait 10 hours to connect to a 3 hour flight to Cairns, whence a 2 hour drive to my mother's house. 

Maybe 10 hours is enough to do something vaguely touristic in Sydney – there's an airport train there that connects to downtown, but according to the website, it will be closed for "track maintenance" tomorrow.  I guess there might be buses.  I'll definitely have to try something – 10 hours is too long to spend in an airport. 

Anyway, I'll update from Sydney, somewhere.

Caveat: I have been led to believe this is very funny

Kids / My Videos

Here is a video I took last Thursday.

My student Seong-un seems to be an up-and-coming Korean comic genius.  I really only understood about 10~15% of what he's saying here, but even his deadpan delivery and timing seemed incredibly funny, and he had his peers all crying with laughter with this little narrative.  So, I post it here, unedited.  Let me know (if you speak Korean) if this is really as funny as it seemed to me.

Caveat: Winter Camps Endings

Banalities & Journaling / Kids / My Photos

Yesterday we ended our "winter camps" (morning extracurricular English classes).  Here are class portraits of the last two groups, taken yesterday morning.

The smart first and second graders (not all of them came on this last day, so the class isn't full size, here – it was a large group of 24).

The calm and organized fifth graders (a few are missing, but it was a very comfortable class of about 8~10 – attendance varied).

Unrelatedly… some photos to remember my current "home" by, as I travel to Australia today.

Here is the view from the steps of my apartment building as I left for the bus terminal yesterday afternoon.

And here is the main drag in fabulous, cosmopolitan Yeonggwang, in front of the bus terminal.
