English teacher in South Korea 🇰🇷
Learning Korean
On the first day of 설날 Korea gave to me… snow. Lots of snow.

I’m working tomorrow despite the temporary Red Day, but now they’re calling for snow… so I wonder if I’ll actually have any kids to teach…

Rewatching The Good Place and working on crocheting a blanket. I have reached the point at which my WIP is large enough to be used for its intended purpose while it is still in progress.

More things I will miss when I move: 3 bbungeoppang for 2000 won at Beomgye Station…

One thing I will miss about my current teaching job: corporate gives good holiday gifts. Just got a giant box of dried persimmons for 설날 next week.

I’m not quite sure how, but BlueSky has decided that I need cat content. I am actually quite pleased with this development.

I love Korea… but the fine dust is so bad today it looks like fog and I just got this…

Deep breaths. Have you eaten? Have you had some water?

We’ll get through this. It may never be the same, but we can still try to build the communities we want to be part of elsewhere. For now, take care of yourself.

Fun fact: if your Apple ID was created in America, you can’t redownload TikTok even if you change your region right now. Ask me how I know.

I’m not in America… and I just got this…
