isteacher. : August 2015

What a Story Asia. Sunday, August 23, 2015. Got My Paper Draft Back. I got my feedback on my dissertation yesterday evening and could not have been happier. FAR less work than I had anticipated, and what I do have to do I can do most morning this week and next, which will leave every weekend except one in September free. Free weekends are suddenly important for me, as I only have nine of them left here in the ROK. I am glad that I did this programme, but I am also happy to be done with it. A city which i...

isteacher. : October 2014
http://isenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
What a Story Asia. Sunday, October 19, 2014. There is a major road near my place called Daegok. Along it are a series of restaurants. I've been trying a few of them over the summer and fall. They are mostly Korean BBQ with ribs, pork and one that has beef. A cool area just minutes from my front door. It is a neat place to explore, and on a warm night with good food it is fun. Anyway, thought I'd share. Sunday, October 12, 2014. Jinju Lantern Festival 2014. This weekend Yen and I went south to Jinju.

isteacher. : Gatbawi
http://isenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2015/08/gatbawi.html
What a Story Asia. Monday, August 3, 2015. I arrived back from Manila on Thursday night and, after getting a bus to Daegu I got home around 2 and to bed by 330. Needless to say I wasn't moving before 10. Mike was coming down around noon and so I did het out and get banking before meeting up. We mostly spent the day at Wolgwang lake park catching up. Saturday Darren came down and the three of us headed for Gatbawi. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

What a Story Asia. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Getting Ready for Philippines. Our July trip to the Philippines is coming up quickly, and while I am sad to be saying bye to Yen for ten weeks, I am very excited to fly out. We are going with Yen's friend Nicole, who is from the Philippines and is going home, Zeke and Julie are also on our flight. I am excited just for that. We plan to do a Manila Harbour cruise, go south to Tagaytay. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment. Getting in to the Summer.

isteacher. : April 2015
http://isenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
What a Story Asia. Monday, April 27, 2015. New Rules for EPIK. The Korean MOE has just announced new rules for EFL public school teachers. On paper, they seem to make sense. All teachers now require a TEFL certificate and can't smoke near students and coworkers (cause no male teachers smoke.). Anyway, if someone at EPIK offers you 2.2 and you have any of the above qualifications, you can do better both in terms of professional development and money. A bit of good news. Is a sort of limited teacher traini...

isteacher. : March 2015
http://isenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
What a Story Asia. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. With a maximum of seven months left in Korea, I am starting to seriously plan for post Korea, and do what I need to do to transition. For starters, I finished my last term paper for school, now I only need my dissertation (only) and I am done. That has to be done no later than Sept. 20th, but I hope to finish it a bit earlier. Seven months is going to fly by I am sure. But for now, it is another day at Moonkkang. Sunday, March 29, 2015. A Day Out at Duryu.

isteacher. : July So Far
http://isenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-so-far.html
What a Story Asia. Saturday, July 18, 2015. Again, behind on what I have been up to, and writing far less in general, but still keeping busy. In fact, I have started a few blogs in the last week, only to not finish them and then delete them later, so I am going to try and put it together in one blog. Never open but great ribs. We also had a mini monsoon here, though it really just meant two days of intense rain and the city cooled down. It was kinda nice actually, except when the humidity hit 90%. In Kor...

isteacher. : Manila in the Summer
http://isenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2015/08/manila-in-summer.html
What a Story Asia. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Manila in the Summer. I just got back from a half week in Manila, taking Yen home and getting some chores and work done, plus meeting her family and doing a bit of sightseeing. Yen, Carl and Jovelyn. Monday was a chore day, we checked in to our hotel in Malate and spent half the day at the bank. We stayed at Casa Bocobo, where Mike and I stayed in May, 2013. Yen and her family. Lapu Lapu, the man who killed Magellan. Mr Park was unavailable. Me at the Harbour.

isteacher. : January 2015
http://isenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
What a Story Asia. Monday, January 26, 2015. I have decided today to restrict who can view this blog. Basically, you can no longer search for it using google, yahoo etc. The reason is that, for the most part, I write this for myself, and any family and friends who may be interested (they can access it via facebook). I've had a few other readers, and for the most part, if anyone is interested in my posts I am glad. Also, with job hunts this and next year having a more private blog seems to make more sense.
