today


Trying to cook rice porridge. It already has mushrooms in it. I added broccoli that is about done or just past done. Hoping to heat enough where the broccoli actually cooks. These are basically meals in bags. Feels a bit like camping. I dont know if you're suppose to cut the top off but I did. I'm using the piece of seaweed packaging and a Korean chopstick as lids. Below the tongs is a sealed package of chicken breast that was marinated and cooked. Now I'm just basically heating it up. Hope I'm not doing any lasting damage from eating this way. I'm always concerned about chemicals in diet or on the skin.


I have been pouring over books and trying to write lesson plans since Monday. (Today is Wednesday.) I received my schedule today. I will be teaching 15 different blocks / 9 different classes. I'm hoping I dont have to prepare 9 different lesson plans each week. Hopefully much lower. Since I will be teaching there grades, it would be nice to have three lesson plans and then adjust to levels. I don't know. This will be my life for at least a month until I understand and get used to this. 😳




Here's the end result of the dinner. I added in seaweed for flavor. Back to the planning.

Going to try again to write... Tomorrow I escape. My time of leave has been granted for once a month. I can walk the plank and jump onto the sandy beach without fear of the crocodiles. Well, in reality I'm escaping the crocodiles. I have to do this at least once a month. It helps to renew strength of mind. The renewal doesn't last very long but it is there.  My writing may seem disjointed at times. I'm not sorry for that. It is necessary to be perfectly honest so that I do not mention any particulars. I write irregularly because of the stress I have been going through. It is not that I do not want to write. It is because I do not want to be negative all the time. This little valley is where I currently live. It is a town out in the country. There is no major stores here - just groceries and shops. It's not a bad place to live if you're a local.  My mountaintop rest I like to hike. I typically hike alone for various reasons that ac...

January 23rd Ikea! Looks very similar to the US Ikeas. I guess they're designed pretty much the same with cultural and legal tweaks to make for local standards like kimchee rice with Swedish meatballs. Office setup the way I imagine my brother would have his one day. View from my business apartment - Still undeveloped Sejong. My breakfast January 24th Smart City Sign on Daejeon bus stops Why I took the bus to the next city Divine burgers...first burger I've had in over 5 months. It was wrapped in lettuce instead of bread. Ok. Next time I'll cut it into a salad. I think the flavors will go much better. Missed mustard. Fries were decent.  Fries bag...

Finally realized not to add the fillings until after the base of the omelette. Cooked the onion, colored bell peppers, and mushroom. Set them aside and then cooked the egg flat. When it was more than half done, added the veggies that were sauteed in coconut oil, salt, pepper, and (my standard) turmeric.  My workspace. Enjoying the kindergarten class. Is it child labor to have them color the shapes? I'm going to cut them out later, laminate, and use them for learning activities. That class is fun. Just have to move and be speaking English with them. Of course, what I say and do is very purposeful but it's fun at the same time. Sejong City Hall - used the panorama setting with the camera vertical to get this picture. The angle was too tall and too wide for regular pictures. Panorama has other uses beyond the 360 degree view.
