The Sink is Broken

I went to use the sink. It was broken. In this particular sink the stopper is a push button. The button was stuck. I tried my best at broken Korean to get some help. Help has arrived. He takes apart the sink (see above). His hands get dirty so he turns on the water to wash the parts and his hands. Remember the sink is still apart. In my Canadian world, you would not turn on the tap knowing that the water is going to spill out all over. But this is Korea and this is what happens. He politely moves the mat I had on the floor so that it wouldn't get soaked. Good thing these bathrooms are made to withstand this kind of mess.
No more bathroom problems (he fixed the cabinet too!)

Snow in Busan!!

YIKES! If you think Canada stops when there is new snow, you haven't seen anything! It has called for only a light cover of snow, but it is heavy, wet and icy. On my way to work, half way here in fact, I got the call that I don't have to be here until930 (instead of 830). Oh well, much to my surprise, ITS A SNOW DAY! NO KIDS!!!
I'm so excited. I guess I will spend the day planning and trying to wrap my brain around this new job.
I am placed in Buk-gu (Buk means north) part of Busan. I'm at a middle school teaching grade 7,8,9. It s co-ed school but the classes are divided by gender. Many of my classes have quite the range of skill level. I would have to say that my freshman have the best general fluency levels, and there isn't such a gap in the class; and they are cute and still afraid of the teacher;)
I'm staying with Mark and comuting about 40minutes each way. I don't yet. It feels like it gives me time to prepare for my day.
Well I hope this snow goes away before mom and dad come here!
