If I grow a tail will you still love me?

What's worse? Having the Fukushima nuclear plant next door leaking radioactive nuclear gases or breathing in Yellow dust, a fine sand blown from Mongolia and China which contains toxic chemicals emitted from chinese factories that causes respiratory disorders?  Hmmm.... it's a tough choice but I'm going to go with yellow dust, considering I'm writing this with a new sinus infection. At least with whatever I'll mutate to from the nuclear plant wont happened for a few more years.  I feel like when I'm 70, I'll be watching TV and one of those lawyer ads comes on "If you or one of your family members has or has died from (insert list of diseases, cancers, mutated body parts) then you may qualify for....." Hey, don't laugh...if you see it first you better tell me!!

On a more positive note...
Last week was St. Patrick's Day, of course I celebrated!! Started the day with wearing all the green I could find in my apartment, and having my kids make St. Patrick's Day hats. Basially, I used it to teach them about the color green. I ran around the room yelling and pointing to everything green I could find. Eventually they caught on.  I'm pretty sure it's the only lesson I have done where they have understood and did what I told them too.... to only color their hats green!! I didn't care what shade it was but it had to be green!

The new monsters, I love' em but they are monsters!
My Tues/ Thurs class Amy and Jassica.


Went to a neighborhood bar to celebrate after work. I had to use the bathroom and one of the things I like most about Seoul is that they have public restrooms all over the city (you're lucky if you get toilet paper and/or a sit down one but it beats squating). There was on the way to the bar so, of course, I use it. I went to flush the toilet and saw a red button right above the toilet that said something in Korean and then "push" in English (you'd think that'd be a red flag but toilets are wierd here). Well, I pushed it and a loud alarm started going off!! I didn't know what to do, i didn't know if I did it or something else had just happened! I yelled at my friend who was in the bathroom too, that I don't know what I just did but I think I made the alarm sound so I was going out side! I go out to find my other friend I'm just like "I don't know what I did!!!" Laughing but super confused and then I look around to find a huge crowd (well, like 13 Koreans) staring at me, then my other friend comes barging out of the bathroom, not knowing what was going on! I didn't want to hangout and find out what happens so I told my friends to move out, i needed a beer!! I can only imagine the hysterics going on with the Koreans watching this show of 3 foreigners coming out of a bathroom that has a loud siren coming from it...  hahaha, Oops! 
I got my beer! And then stopped a random Korean to take our picture.  Katie: "Way to pick the creepy Korean," Me: "Shhhhhhh.....He speaks English!!!" 


Come on...Who would wouldn't want to travel with me?!!!!!  Never a dull moment... :)
