The teachers had a welcome to Namyang Middle School party today at the local bbq place and it was awesome. They used beef instead of the usual pork and it was just exquisite. Some awkward conversations though.

New Ms. Lee:  :) Do you like Boys or Girls?

Me: :o Girls

New Ms. Lee:  :) Why?

Me: :unsure: In what way do you mean?

New Ms. Lee: :) As students.

Me:  :blush: Oh...


She didn't mean on the BBQ surely. Or she did, and she's freshly escaped from the North.

Modern education is built for girls in any case. It's a good time to be a college professor.

See, this is why people think you like beef.

Tim, in the event that war suddenly breaks out between the Koreas while you're there, what are you supposed to do?  Are there plans to evacuate you and all the other foreign teachers, or what?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I assume their would be directions given over Armed Forces Korea radio and I'd follow those. Pyeongtaek is to the immediate south of my and houses a large concentration of US troops. I'd probably head towards Osan airbase.

You'd be forced to hide out in a cellar for a few weeks, rifle in hand, venturing forth undercover of darkness using your video camera's night vision to guide you where the North Koreans have nothing. In these forays you will search for food and supplies and try to hamper the north's war effort as much as possible. You will be torn between a mixture of doing the right thing and trying to save as many people from the ravages of the reds as possible and simply trying to survive until UN counter attack.

From what I've heard about Osan, you might be better off embracing the Dear Leader.  :P
