Extra Curricular Odds 'n Ends (Sept / Oct 2015)


Eating out! This is ddeokbokki, a favourite food among
Connexus kids (New faces: Sarah Wilson, front right and
Michaela Payne, centre right. They're both returning teachers).
One of my regular haunts: The public building belonging
 to the cemetery just behind our apartments (It's always
empty, so it's a great place to read outside).
Amazing spring roll supper made by YoungJin and SoYoung
(front). We were saying farewell to Karen's father and uncle
who'd come to visit and help with construction.
My roommate Michaela rocking out at a Noraebang (Korean
karaoke house). I went with my housemates as a farewell
for Haesun--I was glad the remote was so complicated
so I had an excuse to stick to the tambourine :)
Walking around Olympic Park.
Found this funny: couples and selfie sticks galore!
Taking the subway is always a great people-watching opportunity.

Korean movie club. They meet once a month at a church
where I 've done some Saturday language classes.
Cuddling puppies at the KOPI / CONNEXUS / NARPI
retreat in Yangpyeong this weekend.
Got a taste of construction yesterday: drywalling and
scraping excess stucco away from the corner of windows.
