Silent is easy

Autumn is…
Red & yellow
Rustling sound of leaves

Lukewarm tea

Fixing broken Korean subtitles on VLC Player

Was tearing my hair out trying to figure how to fix the broken subtitles on VLC player so I can watch movies on my Mac with some of the teachers and students. Finally the solution came from a Demonoid user:
under vlc preferences (make sure the “Advanced” checkbox is marked)
go to Video > Subtitles/OSD > [...]

Daycare my brain

I want this

Should I draw a more defined boundary with my students? As in stop being too chummy with them. Today one of them on the way back from breakfast grabbed my behind and said I have a nice butt and another one of his buddies, said, “Nice ass!” Then laughed.

Tees

I was at Myeongdong (the supposed equivalent of Shinjuku of Korea) on Saturday and “unintentionally” wandered into a Uniqlo store and went a little nutter. The anime theme tees made me absolutely mental! I was a little sad that the better choice of Gundam tees are sold out and the ones left on [...]

Snow

It was Robert’s last night in Korea too.

The Dinner

Bob, “I’m so glad I am [...]

So I am reading loads, exercise more and plan further.
I imagine my life now is like Dae-Su from “Old Boy”, locked in a room for years and [...]

I came home to the farm and found out that the heater in the house died on me.
I was rescued by a male colleague and stayed over at his for a warm night.
The next day when I was alone in my freezing room, I lose it [...]

Today I think it is next to impossible to “integrate” myself to the community here
The language, the culture, the social rules…

Suck it up…
Well, I will be here as long as my sanity can hold me
And these little babies has been my comfort and joy
