Second Day of Teachers' English Lessons

The second day was not a smashing success like the first. But I did get some digits.

For my mother: Mother, I procured a telephone number from a female Korean teacher. Before you assail me with questions let me say this, I don't know, Mom. That should put a silence to every one of your questions.

For my Father: Don't worry, she only wants to have my babies. That's why I gave her my name and number.

For everyone else: I'm obviously going to marry her and stay in Korea forever. I will never see any of you again. Sorry.


I had 2 classes back to back today. The first class was relatively quiet. In all fairness I could tell they had a hard time understanding some of what I was saying. But there was a smoking hot Korean in my first class. She made the time pass nicely for me. But I didn't write my number on the board for this class. My second class was the more talkative of the two. Albeit a decent portion of it was in Korean. But at least they were talking. They seemed more interested in me than my topic. They had all sorts of questions about me from my lactose intolerance (Dave, they can't touch you on that subject) to adoption to my age. 'I know I'm such a babyface. I don't even look 25.'

'Ohhhh~,' they all sounded in surprise. 'Do you have a girlfriend?'

'No, I don't. It's too hard to have a long distance relationship. And I haven't been here very long, either.'

'Oh, you two should meet up. Age is just a number,' they said.

'Well, here's my name and number,' I wrote it up on the board. 'You can help me with your Korean. And I'll help you with your English.'

'If you two go out, can I come with?' chimed the matchmaker with a smile and a laugh.

'Ohhh, noo, all of us are married. Except her,' she pointed at the woman sitting on the right hand side of the matchmaker. 'But she has 2 children!' The teacher pointed at the matchmaker.

'No, it's a lie.' She replied like one of my middle school students. 'I'll just come along on the date! Don't worry about me.' Attempting not to laugh.

A pretty funny group. They had some interesting questions. It just so happens they were more interested in conversing with me than talking about my topic. A pretty interesting couple days. Too bad I have to go back to my freezing office tomorrow.

Wings Night tonight. The 2 week absence has made my stomach grow fonder.
