New Favorites 8.8



I had a great day with the kids here. They are energetic yet polite. One of the kids makes horking sounds once in a while so it feels like I'm back in the land of the Morning Calm. Don't know why it ever got that name by the way.
I have to admit, I have been working harder than in Korea but the parents appreciate it and they show it too. They proved that today by bringing in some of their friends' kids to the school. We had an Open House at our school since it was just recently opened. Even though most of it was a disaster, especially the Science class, the director was happy and so were the kids that came to observe and participate. The little things that were so forgotten by Koreans are not here. In a non condescending way....

I bet you could make a huge list, Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad that you are enjoying it. The room itself looks more modern just from that picture instead of skanky korean schools that are just put together half-heartedly.
Take care of yourself and stay cool.

Are you finding that the kids in Taiwan are more disciplined than the ones in Korea?
