TGIF and weekend

I called my former co-worker and i had dinner with her last Friday night with some of my co-workers. We talked a lot of things mostly about work. We had much fun talking and we couldn't realize the time until my co-worker's mom called because she was worried. That was already past 11 p.m. and there were no buses to take. I called my hubby to pick me up and my co-workers took a taxi.

Today, we went to my sister in law's house. I haven't seen her since we left from our vacation so we had lunch with her this afternoon. She ordered agujjim. My hubby requested the food because he suddenly craved for it when i told him that i had agujjim with my co-workers. But the one that my sister in law ordered was more delicious than the one that i had because it has some crabs, seashells, and big shrimps. I gave her the small present that i bought in Australia that's why we visited her.

Btw, i want to share you this joke that my student shared us during our class last Friday. Our topic that time was about "Laugh" so i told them to share some jokes. Here it is:

She said, long time ago in a small village, there was only one bathroom that people had to share. There was a kid who went to the bathroom and then she heard that someone was waiting outside. She peeped at the door and she saw that the woman was wearing a white dress (ghosts in Korea wear white dress). She was scared so she couldn't go out. She stayed there for an hour. Finally, she decided to go out. Do you know what the woman told her?...... She said, "Because of you, i took a shit here."

We learned that most people laugh at least 17 times a day. How about you?

Let's get fit!

It has been a long time since we played badminton so last weekend, hubby and I went to the court just in the compound of our building where we usually play badminton but we saw these kids playing baseball. We went to the other area just next to them but instead of playing, we had fun watching them so we couldn't concentrate on our game. The fish that i usually check and count are also here. Just next to the court.



Because we couldn't play well so hubby told me to just take a walk just across from our apartment. We usually take a walk here after dinner. There are many people jogging and exercising in the evening. There are teenagers, olds, couples, etc... I have fun watching how they walk or run. We usually come home at 11p.m. but there are still people at that time. People like us who can't exercise in the morning usually do it at night.

Here in Sydney Australia

Hi guys, we are now here in Sydney. After visiting some famous places in Vietnam, we finally flew here in Australia. In Vietnam, we went to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and took a bus going to Dalat which took us 8 hours. From Dalat, we moved to Nha Trang which took us 5 hours by bus. It is one of the most famous beaches in Vietnam and we stayed there for 3 days and went back to Ho Chi Minh which took us 9 hours from Nha Trang. After visiting the Reunification Palace, Parkson Department Store, Saigon Center, Gugyong Department Store, watched the movie Iron man in Diamond Plaza, we flew here in Sydney.

Here in Sydney, we already visited the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens, Harbour Bridge, Hyde Park, Martin Place, St. Mary's Cathedral, Queen Victoria Building, Sydney Tower, Hay Market (paddy's market) and Belmore Park. Yesterday, we also went to Katoomba which took us two hours by train to go to the Blue Mountain but because of the rain and mist, we couldn't see anything so we're planning to go back there again.

Here in Vietnam

Hello guys! thanks for visiting my site. We are now here in Vietnam. We came here last Saturday and i'm enjoying my stay here although it rains everyday. But not heavy rain and doesn't take long so we can still hang out using an umbrella that we bought on our first day here.

We're supposed to stay in Ho Chi Minh for a week but because of the hot weather, we only stayed there for two days and moved to Dalat which has a cool weather and took us 8 hours by bus. Most people wearing long sleeves shirt because it's sometimes cold specially in the morning and evening.

In Ho Chi Minh, we only visited the War Remnants Museum, department store, market, and some parks. In Dalat, we visited the flower garden, Dalat market, Dalat University, evening market, Xuan Huong lake, Crazy house, and Valley of Love. I'm gonna show you some pictures of them when i come back from my vacation.

Btw, we'll go back to Ho Chi Minh before we'll fly to Australia.

Teacher's Day

It's teacher's day today. It's not a holiday, of course. hehehe.... I received some presents from my students. I got a korean fan, pens, pencils, diary, pocket notebook, vitamin C and letters. I was touched when i received and read the letters. One of my students that i like the most in that class told me that she would give me a present tomorrow but i said, she doesn't have to and study harder is the special gift that i need from her. She just smiled but after class, she went home and came back again just to give her gift to me. She's so cute and sweet! She's the one who gave me a cute character pen and a diary. It's just perfect to jot down my activities during my vacation.

I saw some students who were proud carrying some gifts to give to their teachers. Some of them gave carnations, roses, breads, gifts, fruits, and to those who's parents running a restaurant sent some food. Even when we were having class, the director called us to come in the office just to eat some food sent by students' parents. It was a real feast at work.

One of my students said that he woke up at 6a.m. this morning and went to school with his classmates. They had a surprise party for their teacher. He said they also bought a cake the night before that day. Wow~ i was amazed how students and parents prepared for this event.

Buddha's Birthday

Today is another holiday here. This day is called Seokga tansini, meaning "the day of Buddha's birthday" or Bucheonim osin nal meaning "the day when Buddha arrived". Lotus lanterns cover the entire temple throughout the month which are often flooded down the street. You see the lanterns hanging on the trees.

I wish every Monday is holiday. hehehe... My mother in law invited us to go to the mountain but hubby was sleepy. We got up early this morning. It's my first time to get up at 5a.m. I was thirsty so i got up to drink some water and then i saw that my hubby was awake, too. We decided to visit my mother in law and had breakfast there. After breakfast, we went back home and slept again because we were so sleepy. hehehe...

We got up again at past 12 and had lunch then we played badminton and got some exercise. I'm gonna tell you about it next time and show you some pictures.

Parents' Day

Today is Parents' Day. In Korea, Parents' Day is celebrated every May 8th of the year, just three days after Children's Day. Unlike in other countries, the celebration is not divided into a Mother's Day and Father's Day.

Since yesterday, i saw lots of carnation flowers in the market, shops, and some people on the bus were carrying them. They usually buy and give carnations in advance. Yesterday, my students asked me if i can dismiss the class 10 minutes earlier because they had to buy some presents for their parents. I didn't want but they begged me so i let them leave 5 minutes than our usual finished time.

Because i couldn't meet my Parents in law today so i just called them and said sorry for not visiting them in this kind of occasion. My mother in law said, just hearing my voice would be enough for them. Actually, i couldn't sleep last night thinking of what to say and when i got up this morning i dialed the phone and i finally felt relieved after hearing my mom in law's words. Thanks~

To my Parents and Parents In Law! Happy Parents' Day! I wish you a good health, a happy and a long life.
