Dog House W/ Patio: Some pics to feed the masses

Some pics to feed the masses

These are the regular looks I get when I'm working.

One of my students, the kid always smiles.

This kid has better English skills than me.

Okay, so Korean women don't like to have their picture taken. So of course, I take candid photos which usually puts my co-workers into quite a state. To smooth things over I deleted the pictures and then took this picture of myself being an idiot (and got one of the teachers in the shot while I was at it... heh heh heh).

This does not do Ulsan Justice, but it gives you an idea of the skyline and air quality. This is from the roof of my school. One cool difference from the States- most public buildings leave their roof doors open, so you can see the city from just about anywhere if you're willing to climb some steps.

A quick pic of my usual dinner. The mother of one of the students comes in to study English when I teach my Director. In return she has made dinner for her son, the Director's kids, and myself everynight I've worked. Free meal... sweet.

Great pics Schaffer! The kids are adorable, and I'm sure they're already learning a lot from you even if they don't know it. I'm glad you're going to be keeping everyone updated. =)

Clean shaven Ryan. I like it. Youth is king where I live, remember? This is LA. Actually for you, it's Ulsan.

Anyhoo. I'm going to IM with you right now.

I like the kid raising the roof.

Detail the food we're seeing and give me advice on what to get when I go to Koreatown in LA for dinner, before Lost In Translation-like Karaoke.

Your friend,
Parv

oh.

and lose the necklace.

It's not the late 90s anymore.

Boys where silver or gold right now. No beads if you're older than 24.

Great stuff. That kid that smiles all the time is hilarious.. Keep the peace and talk to you soon!

Great images, keep 'em coming.

I for one like the singing garbage truck idea ... it's right up there with meat flavored ice cream.

PS- Watch out for the smiley kid. We had a smiley kid in my 4th grade class. He seemed innocent enough, until the day our teacher found him squeezing the class hamster through the pencil sharpener.
TRUE STORY.

Dude - Long time . . . Hey, don't pay any mind to Parvesh. Beads are fine. Regardless of age or sexual persuasion.
