I left the main strip of the lantern festival because some dude almost sneezed directly into my face. Next thing I know, some guy is getting chased up the street. Then I see neck chops and chairs getting thrown. Awesometasticular. People were laughing at me because I’m running around them taking pictures with a huge flash on my camera.

It’s 1:30am, I’m dead tired, and I have a book to read before I call it a night so I’ll make this one short. It probably won’t even make any sense.
Some of the kids I teach are really smart and actually care about learning English. Others aren’t so smart but still try. While the rest really don’t care and just want to play around. That’s probably the same with kids anywhere. But lately I’ve been thinking about how certain kids will turn out as an adult.
As I meet more Korean people that are around my age, I’ve started to wonder what they were like as a kid. Were they one of the kids in class that wanted to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes? Were they the kids that constantly yelled out “GAME TIME” while the teacher was trying to teach? Were they the one that learned an English curse word and used it to try to make the teacher mad? Or were they one of the kids that actually cared about learning English and every other subject they were forced to take.
There’s no way I could ever know for sure unless I kept in contact with a kid until they were older and saw how they turned out. But that would probably affect the outcome. And it would be really creepy. I guess I could just ask someone what type of student they were.
Joe Rogan wrote about something similar to this in one of his blog posts. When I write more about this, I’ll link to the exact post.
But anyway, here’s two random pictures. One is from when my sister came to visit me in Korea and the other is from a strawberry festival.
