They are called Grills and I'm pretty sure Mr. Franklin did NOT have one

So we're two days into teaching all on my own. I am super tired but things are going okay. Its a long day but goes by pretty quickly. We have a holiday after next week and I hope to spend some time exploring my city better. I don't think I can go without a bike for much longer. It will make my life much easier. We'll see about getting one this week. I did a load of laundry (yay!) and it is all dried. I still don't have hot water. Mr. Lee was supposed to come by tonight (or so I was told) and he hasn't shown up yet. I can't do another day of showering in cold water. Today I saw stars when that cold water hit me. I swear i blacked out a little. The weather had cooled down significantly the last few days. I've had my windows open and my fan on. P.S. I'm still alive.

Today's strange observations:
  • Taxi drivers (and I'm assuming all other drivers) put their car in neutral or park at stop lights.
  • I have never heard anyone hock a loogie quite like a Korean. Its gross.
  • They have stuff called "cider" but it really tastes like sprite.
  • Older ladies like to wear these visors. Its creepy and hilarious at the same time. I think they should be worn in all horror movies.
  • Koreans are crazy parkers, like nothing I've ever seen. That four feet of curb you were sure you couldn't parallel park your car into, they just pull into like its angled parking.

Here is a bit of wisdom to keep you going today. This was in the newspaper (think larger Minipage from the N&O) that we read in one of my classes:
