Short bit About Yesterday

Thursday, May 22, 2008

This is me making Korean Pancakes. SOOOO good.

Yesterday was a good day. Not much to say about it really though. I took some videos and some pictures of my classes. They were good sports about it too.If you haven't seen the video yet, then go down one more post and you will be able to watch it.

One exciting, or more frightening thing happened yesterday, well it is also extremely sad as well, but I was getting ready for work and need to fix a few kinks in my hair. So, as per usual, I plugged in my straightener with the converter and plug adapter. I waited for it to heat up and then walked out to the living room to use it. The second that I picked it up, it popped, like some blew up inside, scared me to death, I threw it across the room, forgetting that it was so hot, ran across the room to grab it so nothing caught on fire and then had a sad moment when I realized that my straightener is no more :( My good ol' straightener. It was like 4 years old or more, so it was going down hill. I think the converter wasn't working properly for some reason and it popped from all the power in the outlets here. I will just use Terri's for the next little while till I get paid and buy a new one, a Korean one till I get home.

My taxi ride yesterday was good too. Again, he was trying to speak in English so that he could talk to me, but he knew very little. He thought, once again and as everyone does, that I was Russian. No, I am not Russian and this is not a compliment here since 90% of the Russian women here are street workers. When I told him I was from Canada, he thought that I was Miss Canada. I thanked him, but no. Then a minute later he asked if I was a Miss or Mrs, when I told him Mrs, then he didn't really say much else the whole ride.

Anyways, I am going to run. You can view more photos by going to http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=117780&l=dee21&id=652110787.
