We aren't bored over here

Korean names are difficult for non-Korean speaking individuals to pronounce, so language academies such as ours simply give each student an "English" name. This really helps the foreign teachers who would otherwise have a difficult time remembering the correct pronunciations. Pictured here is Catherina, who is presenting her poster project on the country of Russia.

The sole Canadian of our group, James, tells little Joey that he is now her "English father." She responds by grinning from ear to ear.

Little Esther is a favorite at Maple Academy. Great personality, intelligent, adorable, and very teachable....the kind of student that you love to have in your classroom.

Welcome to my desk. These objects frequently inhabit my space. Also, take note of the exchangeable color pen in the pink bag. Those are a big deal here.

A cat seems very much at home in a local Gwangan scooter shop. When I first walked by, she was posted in the center of the room, lounging happily. She/he got curious and changed positions for a less photogenic spot, but I grabbed a quick shot anyway.
