Alive and Well!

We're alive and well!
Teaching is going well and we've been exploring the city a little these past few weeks. The middle school kids have been writing exams at their regular school so they haven't been coming to class...which means time off for us.
We had heard rumours that Costco was around the city and we finally found it the other day. It was a bit of a trek, but well worth it! We felt like little kids in a candy store because it was such a reminder of home. We found vitamins, Cheerios, nutrigrain bars and we also were able to get a good size blanket -the small old blanket was the source of a constant tug of war in our sleep, so we were really happy about that.
We are starting our sixth week of classes right now and we're gearing up for the summer break classes. The kids get one month of holidays and they are sent to school with us. Crazy I know!
Tonight we went out for Korean food again and we're really enjoying it. We tried a new restaurant and the staff seemed pretty tickled to have us. The one lady tried to show me how to wrap the meat in lettuce and then thought it was too much trouble and decided to just stick it in my mouth. It was a pretty hilarious situation and I think she thought she had to keep feeding me so we'd know what to do. I think she thought she was pretty funny and kept referring to me as 'baby.' (We're somewhat accustomed to 'going with the flow' in these types of situations.) When we were heading out the door of the restaurant she shoved a mint in our mouths and waved good-bye. I'd love to see someone try that in Canada! ;)
We are in the midst of some pretty stressful parent-teacher interviews. These parents are paying quite a bit of money for the child's education so they are VERY interested in who we are, what we look like (especially), and how their child is doing. We teach so many different kids right now that we're simply trying to remember who the kids are and match the faces with the names.
