Some of my (Emily's) students from my 10AM class at Global Language school. I truly enjoy teaching English. My students teach me so much and never fail to make me laugh. Earlier today, in one of my classes, we were discussing the vocabulary used for relationships. When I explained the terms oldest/eldest, middle child, and youngest my students were a bit confused. How can you be a middle child if you are an adult? Good question. I'd never even thought about it before. Unfortunately, yet another example of the complexity of the English language.

On this day we decided to take a walk to downtown Gumi (about 15 minutes from our apartment). We sampled many of the street foods (amazing by the way!) and here is Seth (the photographer is a bit of an amateur:) eating some frozen strawberries dipped in syrup. We also tried some Korean pancakes (like pancakes in the US, but the goodness (a type of filling) in on the inside rather than on the outside. We'd also tried some rather tasty rice water (slightly like agua de horchata) and browsed the numerous fruit, veggie, and fish stands. Hopefully we'll get take some pictures of the market place soon. Seth eating the scrumptious Korean pancake (about 3 for $1)!My attempts at making bibimbap. To eat this tasty treat you mix the rice with the veggies (in this sauteed cucumbers, bean sprouts, and carrots. Add copious amounts of red pepper paste (pictured left) and add the egg. Very tasty.
The leaves are beautiful here in Gumi. Here you can see the leaves of the Ginko tree changing to green. I caught Seth trying to munch on these leaves on day as we'd heard that Ginko is supposed to help your memory. Ok, not really I'm just kidding- about Seth:)
