Hey hey!

So alot of people are commenting on how funny it is that all of the kids make a peace sign with their hands in pictures. I have reacently learned that it is not a peace sign, but they are making a V, which became tradition after their victory over Japan. You learn new things every day! It is simply custom now, and pretty cute I must say! Several of us got into a big discussion about it, hence my learning experience, and I also discovered that as girls get older they tend to make the V close to their faces. Women here are VERY self conscious about their size and their appearance, especially Korean traits such as round faces. Apparently holding the V close to their faces, near their cheeks is intended to make their cheeks look smaller. I guess every country has their own quirks!

In my past experiences living abroad, I have always told myself I would try anything once. I've definitely had experiences I wouldn't have otherwise, such as eating guinea pig and some other unusual things! I do, however, draw the line at eating cat and dog. I absolutely cannot do that, no matter what the customs are in Asia! Wonderful to find out, however, that the restaurant right next to my apartment is well known for serving dog soup! I think I need to move...haha! I just picture Harley and it makes me sick to my stomach. How can people have pet dogs and cats, and also eat the meat without getting sick???

This week has gone by super fast, but has been pretty hectic since I got three new students in my morning kInder class. I'm looking forward to the weekend. I think I am going to have my fist experience in a spa here, which are very popular, and get a massage or something fun and relaxing! We are also booking our tickets to Bejing, where we are going on our vacation in September. I can't wait! Love you all!
