Last of the Lasts and KPOP Friday

My time in Korea is quickly coming to an end. I officially have 6 days left as a resident of the ROK and I am getting a little nostalgic.





I have loved every moment of this year. Every experience, every meal, every new friend has been nothing short of amazing.





My teaching job in Bucheon has allowed me to throughly explore Korea and take four international asian vacations in one year. I would like the thank the Korean Government for making one of the best years of my life possible!

This is my last weekend in Korea. Our crew is heading in Hongdae for the weekend, sleeping at our second home "Space" and I could not be more excited. This is going to be the weekend of lasts and tears. I feel it coming.





This year would have not been the same if I had not meet all my spectacular friends. <3 <3 <3

This weeks KPOP Friday is Super Junior's new hit song "Mr. Simple".





Super Junior is one of the largest KPOP boy bands, with 13 members at its peak. They are probibly the most famous Korean boy band throughout Asia; however, many of my students dislike Super Junior because they are too "old" with some of their members reaching 30.







I love watching their video because they have redicious dance moves and their large group always makes me laugh.







Enjoy "Mr. Simple" by Super Junior! Have a great weekend!!

KPOP FRIDAY

HAPPY SUMMER FRIDAY!

The rain has finally stopped and the sun has come out. It actually feels like summer and I could not be happier. The last day of school was on Tuesday. I have been teaching a Summer English Camp for four hours each morning and then either desk warming or sneaking out to enjoy the summer weather.

Yesterday Olivia, Sam and I left school early to hit up a public pool in Seoul. We went to the Yeouido Swimming Pool, which is right on the Han River. The enterance fee is only 5,000 won; however, you must also buy a swimming cap for 4,000 won or you can't go into the water.


It was a blast. The pool was full of oiled Koreans wearing revealing bathing suits and tattoos. Also the kiddie pool was PACKED with little nuggets wearing cute suits with matching tubes and swim caps. The pool's sound system was blasting summer club jams the whole day, which was putting everyone in a good mood. I can't wait to head back to the pool on the Han to enjoy more of my summer in Seoul.

For KPOP FRIDAY I am going to give you two Korean Summer Jams that were being played non stop yesterday at the pool in Seoul.

The first song is called "Hot Summer" f(x). I also recently featured another f(x) song "(Pinocchio) Danger".

Pretty average KPOP song and video. It is a fun video and upbeat song, great for summer days lounging pool side.

Hope you enjoy the video for "Hot Summer" by f(x).

The second song for this weeks KPOP Friday is "LaLaLa" by Mighty Mouth. This also isn't Mighty Mouth's first apperance on KPOP Friday. Check out their post for the song "Tok Tok".

There is not a whole lot going on with this song; I mean the title is "LaLaLa". It is a classic summer single with a video made to look just like one of LMFAO's pool parties. I have to give it to Mighty Mouth though, they are making me want to go to where ever they are in Korea and party on that boat and pool with them.

CHEERS TO SUMMER!

Enjoy Mighty Mouth's summer single "LaLaLa".

Photo Booth Love

Most of my student have never been able to play around on an Apple computer before. They all think I am very "richie" for having one and want to always look over my shoulder to see how it works.

I have been showing some of my favorite students Photo Booth recently, and they have been LOVING it.

Here are some shots we have taken over the past couple of months.
