I've been better.
A little sick, having troubles using the toilet.
Good friends and more, are leaving, but never will be forgotten. New people are coming, and new relationships are to forged through them.
That's really all to say this week.

Bannanna and Pineapple smoothies are a foul concoction which I vow to remove from this earth.
In other news.
I went to Everland. It's one of three amusement parks in Seoul and reportidly the best. I'm not very impressed.
Here's some pictures.
Along with some cute pics of my kids, and some more of Seoul near the embassy district.

So just to prove how forward thinking is a concept that seems like wichcraft to the owner of our school.
A new teacher comes, no where in his contract did it state his first month (which he worked for the entire month minus a vacation that everyone else got as paid) that he will get paid hourly. So they pay him much less than he was expected. As if this was not bad enough, a medical issue which he informed them about caused the school to basicly fire him, but they asked if he would stay and teach until they found a replacement. He of course told them with a few choice words to go away and that he was leaving right away.
The owner whom he told this to did not inform the staff of our school about this. So now we are down four teachers until the end of this week. On top of that the owner had treated two of the English speaking Korean staff who can sub classes so poorly that they quit, along with a good portion of the non English speaking Korean staff. So now the two english speaking managers have to sub and they have to hire a part time sub for a good chunk of money. One person is now manning the front desk, the managers do not have time to speak with the parents and they are getting pissed.
It doesn't end there, oh no my friends. They also for some reason are paying an American teacher with no experience more than the other teachers. This has gotten some of the teachers really pissed off, amongst other things, I foresee and even more rocky future for this school.
It's time to go, I think.
This place reaches new level of stupidity every day.
