Seriously?!?

Ok, so as I eluded to in my previos post, one of the kids (actually one that is in my class but have not meet as he as been home all week) has been diagnosed with swine flu. Ergo our school has closed for Monday and Tuesday of this week for cleaning etc. However, I guess we are now being made to make up those days on two Saturdays the 19th and the 26th. Which would mean we would be working two six-day work weeks in a row!! Needless to say, this has the house in an uproar as there is nothing about making up classes in our contract and we definatly cannot imagine having to work 6 days in a row... TWICE! Now I am sure that many of you might think we are lame weak sauce as it really is not that bad, and as people will know I have many a-time worked straight weeks, but dang teaching takes a lot out of you! I think this is espcially frustrating as the four of us are not professional teachers and obviously we are really here to travel and explore while living in another country. And only one day to rest and no days to explore is really upseting.

So basically the oldet teacher (Jen who has also been here the longest) is going to talk to Hosung our director about this and hopefully it can be solved. We are hoping to only have to do one make-up Saturday a month so as to no cut into our lives too much. ]

In other news, our dear friend Anne I guess got burned with water and is in the hospital so we are off to visit her and bring her a care pack as she is far out and all by herself! Poor girl, its sad cause it couldnt have happened to a more sweet girl!

Ah so thats the drama for now... will let you know what else is up soon!

To combat this sad news here are some fun pics! The first is a grass sculputre of Haechi, the mythical protector of Seoul. The second is me (!) at the Palace!
