Thank you & quick catch up

Heeeeelllllllloooooooooooooooooooooo,

So since it has been a while since I posted, time for some thank youes!

First, Thank you Granny for crocheting a scarf and beret for me!!
I wore the beret all day at school today and my students seemed to approve - which means a couple of extra "I love you teacher" were called out today. Also the beret and scarf are super comfy!

You can see me in the beret here.

Next, Thank you to Maggie for sending Mike & I an advent calendar! It really brought home that Christmas is coming soon. Also the thai curry sauces - YUM!! Total lifesaver!

Ok, so we've been travelling around ( I think I lost my fave mascara and eyeshadow doh!!), we visited our local casino (the casino part was rubbish BUT the VR games were great, the Russian dancing girls had an interesting take on the Can Can and the seafood buffet was sensational!) and we've had a little time at home.

My regular conversation classes with a group of 3rd grade boys has sadly come to an end - so I chucked them a New Year Eve party complete with party poppers! I have added as many names in as I could manage.

I took some photos from our flat to show off the view. Thrilling stuff, eh?

I have spent the last 2 days showing my lesson plans and trying to give our brand new english teacher, Jeff, a bit of a clue. For some reason he was dumped on me, as opposed to someone with a clue. It became a little frustrating, in that there seemed to be no plan for Jeff and after four days in Taebaek he still had not met his co-teacher! He's a pretty cool cat, so I think he'll be just fine.

Gohan's ski resort, Gangwonland, opens on Friday which is exciting! I have been told that they have snow, which until I can confirm with my mate in Gohan, I won't believe. As I understand it, the resorts here do end up manufacturing most of their snow. So if they're organised (Hah!) then it could be beautiful from day 1.

Anyhoos must run,
love
Squeezy
