Slow Design

Sunday morning for me is the best day of the weekend for that's the time where I can sleep a bit more in the morning and have much more time for Chloe and Tommy.

But yesterday Sunday morning was different.


After a Busy Saturday (Advance Korean Class at the BFIA in the morning and the family-get-together-dinner at my in-laws house) Chloe, Tommy, and Min Jae oppa's family (Tommy's HS friend) set forth for a railway trip by Mugung hwa from Dongnae Station to Bulguk Sa Station yesterday.






This was my first East Coast railway travel as well as Chloe so it was such a delight to see all beaches at our window starting from Haeundae, Song Jong, Gijang, Il Gwang, Dae Byeon, Woell le to Im Rang Coast.

Chloe was very happy and excited (she was looking for her whale friend from Porroro) to see the vast sea. She was also very glad eating her snacks and drinks while travelling.

We boarded the train at noon and arrived at the Temple's ground by 3 p.m. (We met a lot of problems on the way... getting a taxi, putting two strollers on one taxi, losing the other team when we got two taxis... all about TAXIs) and went on a picnic under the shade of a Cherry Blossom.



We stayed there for only two hours, chatting, eating, taking a walk and enjoying the nature. Although the travelling was the longest (it took merely four and a half hours to be exact), it was such a get-away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

If there would still be chances like this next time, I'd like to take the opportunity to travel from Busan-Gangwon Province by the East coast with my family again.

Samsung's AMOLED

Yup. I have a new phone and this is because of Chloe. She knocked out my phone so hard on the bathroom floor that made the monitor useless for two whole days! I went to a near Anycall service center and actually planned to repair it but they said that I had to pay for around 25,000won for a part replacement, I just thought of buying a new one since there are a lot of free phones nowadays and I had used my phone for more than two years. To pay 25k for an old, really full of scratches phone (because of Chloe) is too much for me since sooner or later I also need to replace it. In the end, it turned out not to be a free phone(850,000 won / $690). Tommy bought this phone for me saying that I need a "much, much better phone" because of his daughter...hahaha! and because I've been always using free phones since I came here in Korea (which are NOT really FREE PHONES because of the additional services included in the phone bill for the first few months). So, I resulted picking thi...

The Woes of a Filipino English Teacher

by Thess Manangan (Busan, South Korea) ---------------------------------- This aticle was shared with us by Ate Thess last Saturday at the FEESK meeting. It was published as a featured article in KOTESOL's English Connection ten years ago. We were very thankful and fortunate to have her as a guest speaker this month. Thanks ate Thess~! --------------------------------- Are native speaking English teachers better qualified to teach English than non-native speaking English teachers? Since living in Korea for more than six years, I have asked myself this question countless times. Non-native speakers of English, especially non-white Asians, face a difficult task finding quality teaching positions. Being Filipino, I have faced many closed doors when looking for teaching posts. It is not easy because Koreans hold certain perceptions of what foreign English teachers should look and sound like. If you don’t fit their perception, then you are simply “not qualified” to teach English. I came ...
