I will meet my morning students for dinner tomorrow evening. But I have made plans with another student. Babo me....I totally forgot that last week my morning class students made plans to have dinner with Yogita and I.....
So I will have to reschedule our plans with another friend of mine...bummer. It is ok I guess, I really ought to improve my memory.
This week really flew by! Of course having the wednesday off helped speed things up a bit.
This weekend we where going to eat at Outback steakhouse, but as you know I forgot I had prior plans...so....no Jeon-ju this week.
It was a nice week, going to Dae-jon, watching a free movie on Monday.
Ok I gotta go. I really have to start posting more pictures here.....

Trip to Dae-jon
Well this is the third time we have gone to Dae-jon this year.
The first time we took back roads, we had no maps, only a vague sense of direction.
Funny thing is it was sooooo much fun. We knew that Guemsan, was near Dae-jon and that is located northeast of Gunsan. So about 4hrs later we reached Dae-jon.
The next time we went had naviagation. It was ALOT easier. Getting into E-mart was a bit tricky. In that area there is alot of traffic. So if you miss a turn there is no option for a quick u-turn.
This time we went because we wanted to check out Costco. We bought RAISAN BRAN!!!!
Boy it has been over a year since I had that cereal! We bought 2 boxes (each box has 2 bags). We also go 3 large blocks of cheese, trailmix (about 70 of em), picante sauce (for our low carb diet), and prego spagetti sauce.
We will return in about a month.
The drive back was uneventful but fun.
George is getting spoiled at the Day care we take him too. Here in Korea most parents spoil thier children....even more so with boys. So George gets the red carpet treatment at the daycare...it is starting to irk me. I am thinking about pulling him out.
At home he tries to pull off tricks that he does at the daycare....to no avail.
Ahhh he just doesn't realize that I see right through what he is doing.
He had fun at Costco and alot fun during the drive, but every and then he likes to test us. He does not realize it yet but....the spoiling he gets might come to an end....
Ok take care!

Good times!
Ok so today went pretty smoothly. In the early morning class we have the managers coming. This winter will be very interesting I think.
Tomorrow we will decide on where to go but it looks like there is a remote possiblity that we might go to Dae-jon with other teachers from our school.
It sounds pretty fun!
But if we do not go to Dae-jon then we will drive to some other place. I want to get an early start, see some of the countryside in the morning. We want to eat at the place we decide to go to. So that means stopping by a rest stop for breakfast, then a local resturant at the location we chose.
So this week will fly by.
These days I am thinking about what car I want to get Yogita. Now she drives our first car. But she really wants to get another car (after driving mine that is).
I have my eyes set on the Kia Enterprise....it is very nice looking sedan. I think that it fits her. But think she might go for a 4 wheel drive, or some small SUV (wait a minute...almost all suv's here are classified as small)
George will have a ball tomorrow I will take out the babyseat that we got for him, and use that for our trip. He loves it! It gives him a better view of the road.
Most Korean children are not restrained in any way when they are cars. But George never fusses..I think he just loves the view! My schedule is very busy I see him for about 30 minutes a day on average, so tomorrow will be special for all of us.
ok thats all for now..tomorrow I will post some pictures of our adventures.

A short week ahead.
Here is the deal...like I posted before....There will be a vote in Gunsan city.
Basically many companies will have the day off including us. This is unexpected, especially for us because it was assumed that academies would still be running.
So Novemeber which is a long month in the holiday department, suddenly becomes almost like many of the summer monthes. On that day I will hang out with a friend of mine he works at GM daewoo. I have posted pictures of him and his son on this blog before. He is a nice guy, we both enjoy fishing even though we are both are newbies at it.
So I have one more class then I will work out.....and go to a pc room. We should have a blast!
Tomorrow we are going to Jeon-ju, to Outback steakhouse. I is nice place to eat, BUT last time we ran into the strange Canadian couple we met last year.....AAAARGGHHHH.
Hopefully we will not run into them this time.
jeyo

A big vote in Gunsan next week.
Ok here is the scoop! In Gunsan a company has proposed the construction of a nuclear waste facility. Now of course this has raised many concerns among the residents here.
It has virtually split the city in two. There are the yellows (who are against construction, and carry yellow flags showing the nuclear symbol, with a red "X" through it or a red circle crossing out the nuclear symbol), they seem to be the most active in my opinion.
Then there are the greens, they are for the nuclear waste facility. They carry around green flags that promote the construction, saying things like the new facility will bring more investment into Gunsan.
Now the yellows are afraid of leaking waste, pollution, and the stigma that a nuclear waste facility might have on Gunsan. I mean...it is a WASTE facility, maybe a power plant might sound better? I dunno. But what i do know is that next week there will be a vote. Some people will take time off from Work, just to vote. If I am free that day I will lay low. Protest tend to get violent here.....and do not want to be hit by a flying object meant for the greens, or the yellows, or just a flying object in general..... I mean large flying objects (projectiles) just do not agree with me, if it is outside of a sport.
Not meantion I stand out.....I might make a nice juicy target!
I am very curious as to what changes such a facility will bring. Other Korean cities have not done well after such a facility was bulit....hmmm I wonder...Gunsan a ghost town?
Oh some good news! The dvd room that Yogita and I frequent is having a special event.
It is their 3rd year in business, and for that certain vip members, will be able to watch a free movie! WOOOHOOO. Go me go me go me go me!
Ok....this week I will have extra work.....oh well. We will buy some Indian clothes in Daejon next weekend. I wanted to go this weekend, but I want to chill at home, or maybe go to Outback Steak house.....Yogita's favorite place to eat out at! (and mine too!).
ok i gotta go~!
