Last week was my first week back at school. There have been many changes over the winter break. Changes I thought would never happen at my school. For the past two years, I have been teaching (or trying) to teach classes of 30 teens English without the support of the Korean teachers at school. Some [...]

Class Sizes for Grade 1 in High School
Posted in ESL, Jeollanamdo, Mokpo, South Korea, tagged one less class on March 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
At my high school for the past two years, there have been eight of each grade (1,2,3). Korean teachers across Jeollanamdo have been laid off and as a result, high school first graders have been compressed into seven classes at my school. I now teach fifteen classes a week instead of sixteen. Both classes I [...]

If it’s broken, it’s left on the side of the road, behind someone’s house, or apparently on an island. While going to Oedaldo last Sunday, I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of the junk boat island that is on the way to the island. Everytime I pass the island, I notice there are [...]

ZOMG SNOW!

Mokpo got snow today and lots of it! I estimate between 12-15 cm of snow fell today. It was beautiful to watch it fall and it at times reminded of winter back in Port Elgin. My students loved it because they got to go home early from school (and in turn canceled my only class [...]

Abandoned House

I’ve noticed this house ever since I arrived in Mokpo last year and always wondered what the story (or part of it) is regarding this house. One of my students told me it was a house built by the Japanese during the occupation of Korea but could not tell me much more. The house does [...]

I woke up this morning to a white Mokpo. It snowed last night (and parts of today)! It’s great to see snow fall again here in Mokpo. It was also a great oppurtunity to play with my new camera and got quite a few shots of the white morning. I have put most of my [...]
