Sometimes I really love teaching kindergarteners

So we're learning countries today and the kids just have the darndest things to say! When introducing Korea they, of course, scream the loudest, haha. But this little girl, Letty, is in one of my classes and she knows quite a bit of English (just the other day we had a full conversation about her going to the dentist to get a tooth pulled... Keep in
Ind my kids are Korean age 6... Western age 5) but I know her mother is Chinese/English and obvously knows English vey well.

So we're talking about where we're from and everyone says Korea (she was born here as well) and I say america and everyone finds that hysterical (kindergartener are so easy to entertain). Anyway Letty comes up to me after class and confirms that I'm from America, and then starts saying other people are from there too. And then she says "Daddy is from Korea," and I ask "Where is Mommy from?" and she says she doesn't know and I point to china and say "Who's from China?" and she says "Mulan." sometimes I just love teaching kindergarteners...

    Hi Chine, I stumbled on your blog, looking for high camp's website ^^

    Just to clarify... I don't come from China. I was born in HK and grew up in England and consider the UK my home :-)

    Letty thinks your class is great, btw.

Music Monday: Epik Comback

Added bonus to album purchasers, that symbol on the bottom right is an ACTUAL guitar pick with 99 density. Genius, though I think I could only use it with my bass... which I never pick... it's still genius! Epik High's name has always been around, but I never listened to their songs. By the time I started listening to Korean music, they were already on an extended hiatus. Their latest album has proven that good things come to those who wait. It wins the award for album of the year in my opinion (BIG BANG's Alive and Still Alive were EPs and special editions respectively). I don't know if there was a blue moon when they were recording, because every song on the album is perfection. I love the way they rap over different genres. Sometimes alternative rock, sometimes electronic, sometimes pop, sometimes R&B, etc. It's a great combination and reintroduces the genre in a different way. Even if you're not into rap (or listening to a song you may not u...

Why I will never drive in Korea: Reason #32

I honestly don't know how this happened, but I'm really not that surprised. My theory is the first car was stopped, and the second car slowly continued to push forward? Look at that angle! I would not want to get out of that car. AWKWARD. More pics after the jump!
