Well we thought it was spring. Although it wasn't all that cold, it has still rained all weekend. We had plans to go to a baseball game with a few other people from work yesterday but unfortunately it got rained out. So instead of being outside watching baseball we ended up at Traveler's for some good western food and our first movie theater experience in Korea. Aside from the tickets being a bit cheaper, the seats a little comfier, Korean subtitles and the concession sizes being a lot smaller, it was just like home. They show many American made movies in their theaters (we saw Battleship). They leave them in their original English language and simply add Korean subtitles at the bottom. I sometimes wonder if they find it strange that things coming out of the United States are so diverse, meaning the people in U.S. movies and advertisements are of all different ethnicities. The movie advertisements, commercials and posters that we have seen here seem to have only one group of people in them rather than many. Seoul is definitely not a diverse place and it is sure interesting to be on the miniscule minority side for the first time.
Tonight we are grading our monthly tests that we gave on Friday and tomorrow the monthly report card writing begins. Friday is field trip day with the kindergarteners so we will spend Friday morning at the Seoul Forest. I'm not sure how they have a forest in the middle of such a busy city but I guess we will find out! Tomorrow the weather should be back to the spring weather that is more like summer to us (70s and 80s all week) so our bikes should get their first full week of use!
