July 6 update

First - only four days until my Birthday. Just in case you forgot (just kidding).

I found someone who took two ball gloves but no ball so that will be a purchase as soon as I can find one. I can't wait. I also walked past a golf driving range last week while walking with some Korean friends. I told them I enjoyed golf and they could not believe an average US person could afford to golf - it is a well to do sport over here as land is extremely expensive.

I lost my voice late last week which made teaching interesting but the weeks are flying by and I am still enjoying things. I even have to make out my first report cards; pretty hard to believe.

This past weekend was a lot of fun. I went to a "beat" concert with a Korean friend. Once again I was one of very few North Americans in the crowd. The concert had drums, violins, dancing, bells, singing and was amazing. The last song was a popular Korean song and it ended with everyone that wanted to go up front could get a bamboo stick with a flag. They made a conga line and surrounded the seats and they were singing and waving the flags. Some of the people that were still seated were given flags and guess who was one of them. Everyone was singing and dancing and a lady came up and gave me a flag and made me stand up. What an experience, but it was really fun and funny. Unfortunately my camera was back in my room so you will just have to trust me on this one.

That is all for now and hopefully the next post will be made from home and not school - which would mean I have internet at home again.
