Barb and Toby's adventures in Korea. Toby has unfortunately left the Land of the Morning Calm but Barb will continue to update you until we are together againin Canada.

 
I am currently drinking Australian chardonnay mixed with Chilsung Cider because Barb continues to purchase shitty white wine. On a related note this blog is obviously a secret coded terrorist homepage.

We recently held a speech contest among our elementary students at Kang's Language Institute. While this student's speech did not quite cut it for the finals that were held on Saturday, it meritted a photo copy and a blog. This is from Ron, my most talented and youngest male student in my 6:00 p.m. class of hellians. The topic is "If I were the President of Korea..." and the speech is verbatim:

When I become president of Korea I will live in chunwade with my friends and I will make many places to play nad computer games to play and I will destroy the alchol shops and build many airports and make many computers and atomic bomb. and and very big bomb I will make people to have a computer and a building. and I will give many food and I will blow up North Korea and Iraq and I will make a Battlecruiser and a siege tank and a wraith and Dropship and go a travel to Europe and buy many cars i like.

Ron

How funny is that? Most of the more complicated language stems from the wildly popular computer game that eats up most boys' lives here in Korea - Starcraft.

So following our "work day" today we ran home and watched our bootleg DVD of Matrix Reloaded. We then went and saw Matrix Revolutions. We both really liked it - definitely better than Reloaded.

I'll write more later, but I thought it was really good. Unfortunately not as good as the first - but did anyone really think they could pull that off? My biggest complaint? New actress for The Oracle? What gives?
