Well an exciting adventure of rock climbing I’m back at school sore, tired but happy. Kim, Bradley, Sophia, David and I left on Friday afternoon and headed to Daegu (a big city in the province south of us). About 5 hours later we arrived and upon pacing back and forth cell phones (excellent inventions and necessities in other countries) we found a motel for the night. We dropped our stuff off and headed into the night. We past a pirate and a knight, took pics then headed back to crash for the next morning.
We got up early and found the subway. We were so organized we didn’t even mess up. We took a bus for about 1 1/2 hours to our desired location. Then we saw it: the bull. Yes, that’s right we were going to climb a giant bull. We phoned the guy in charge and he gave us the drill, bolts, and holds to get started (they take the bottom ones off so no one will play and kill themselves). These climbs were crazy hard. They lasted forever and you’re arms burned out in no time. They weren’t the best designed so you mostly had to muscle your way up but it was fun none the less. After about 6 hours of climbing and freezing we headed back to Daegu. We got changed and headed off to Cosco. Now I’ve never been so excited to be in a Cosco store before. English, everywhere. And name brands I recognized. And North American food. We were all giddy strolling around. We left about 2 hours later full of food (we had all brought bags and suitcases to fill with cosco goodies).
The next morning I left early (I had to meet one of my students in the afternoon) and took the train back. It took about 4 hours. I arrived exhausted but happy with the outcome. 2 of my students and my co-teacher arrived and we worked on one of my student’s speech for the next few hours. He goes to the National English Speech Competitions on wed.
So now I’m back at another week of teaching. They’re going by so quickly. This next weekend I’m heading to Seoul for the EPIK Halloween party. I’m going as a Russian spy (I even have a fake gun to shoot at the drunks with hehehe).
