Korean Hospitality

The week before Thanksgiving was my last week tutoring the two Korean brothers. The family had us all over for a Korean dinner the day after Thanksgiving. The food was great!!! Because the family is leaving Kazakhstan they gave us three heads of kim-chee (as well as a large portion of the "salad" that we were served that night). It was nice to talk with the family and get to know them a little better before they left.


As we were finishing up dinner we happened to notice this:If you look a little closer (yeah, sorry, it's blurry) you will notice that with the exception of the 4 pieces of sushi in the bottom-middle, they are missing the ham!! S.J., the older son, had gone through and picked it out! I saw him doing it, but just thought he was eating dissecting each piece before he ate the whole thing...!

I started a new tutoring job last week. I worked for one week and then the holidays hit us, so tutoring will pick up again after the New Year. This time, my pupil is the cutest little 7 year old girl. The job seems to be working out really well so far, and is located a little closer to home... which is always a good thing!

  1. How funny: the sushi!

    I'm so glad you're able to enjoy the work you're doing AND that's its closer. Addie's still young enough, I wouldn't want to be away much (if at all!). You're much better at multitasking than me, though.

    By the way... where is that baby of mine... is she doing anything new?
