Korean bbq is generally sitting around a table with the grill sunken in the middle. Glamping or glam-camping has become a trendy thing these days. Why not combine the two? Not much different from normal Korean style bbq.<div>Odd that they didn't actually change anything from when it was Pataya. The giant Pataya sign is still on top of the building and there is even a little sign on the pillar inside that still says "That Cuisine".</div>laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10657619409589032793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18397170.post-19953852354210152452015-02-15T17:20:00.001+09:002015-02-15T17:21:39.579+09:00once upon a milkshake<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9IghsgB2odnc1k1tqlaK4KK3I4J0IfUZfhmKWnBw_QlO1ShHwEmKnQ1TaTiLXn0NaJ1g9AZQQKLQ7F_jQagndHEe6sOAL4JdBw5DyBevr6cVbMazCNuWUP8dXW8cI4EBt0jcvw/s640/blogger-image-1785200207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9IghsgB2odnc1k1tqlaK4KK3I4J0IfUZfhmKWnBw_QlO1ShHwEmKnQ1TaTiLXn0NaJ1g9AZQQKLQ7F_jQagndHEe6sOAL4JdBw5DyBevr6cVbMazCNuWUP8dXW8cI4EBt0jcvw/s640/blogger-image-1785200207.jpg"></a></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Went for a milkshake today near Noksapyeong station.

There isn't much info out there in English on the kinds of salamanders in Korea. A site I found said that Korean salamanders take up to one or two years to mature to the point that they lose their external gills and leave the water. Ones in the exotic pet shops here that I have seen are much bigger and still have their feathery gills. This one has already lost them and has sort of molted a layer. Interesting. It now looks a bit different in both color and shape- it is darker and the head seems much more angular than before.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH5_YAffuwtun7waEqz9q5Rxc_WKO2k7akaBDO6Jlvutx62Gj8kkocs1-BL6tGBZP6V1pPzFCFCDqVQgdrGAYmyDF5bTefjhc090z18r2BBZRpsl9xoMOXPualOtfheZCSO5BUEQ/s640/blogger-image-225868923.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH5_YAffuwtun7waEqz9q5Rxc_WKO2k7akaBDO6Jlvutx62Gj8kkocs1-BL6tGBZP6V1pPzFCFCDqVQgdrGAYmyDF5bTefjhc090z18r2BBZRpsl9xoMOXPualOtfheZCSO5BUEQ/s640/blogger-image-225868923.jpg"></a></div></span></div>laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10657619409589032793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18397170.post-13365228272570024572013-05-29T17:47:00.001+09:002013-05-29T17:47:33.682+09:00Lake Park.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-RBagZgqFwgeyIdmdjzPipWpM0gcZte_u7aq9QB4c5MzBwKZpDibLtWM-_dRDGox1_fb8CKpwOCljnl1zRPeVVtZi2Qg-2oCsoL95xw16Xp4JxvJiF4eIQgY1qKonlycFu5O2A/s640/blogger-image-1630821519.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-RBagZgqFwgeyIdmdjzPipWpM0gcZte_u7aq9QB4c5MzBwKZpDibLtWM-_dRDGox1_fb8CKpwOCljnl1zRPeVVtZi2Qg-2oCsoL95xw16Xp4JxvJiF4eIQgY1qKonlycFu5O2A/s640/blogger-image-1630821519.jpg"></a></div>Went to Lake Park in Ilsan last weekend for a birthday party picnic.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had a bit of a problem a few weeks ago. I had gone to Krav Maga class on a Thursday night. We were doing kicks and kick defenses as well as rolls. After the class I felt great and even ran up the hill to my home. Did some laundry and cleaning and then went to bed. At about 4 am, I woke up in extreme pain. Both my feet hurt so much, on the tops of my feet. There was no swelling or bruising, they just hurt so much. I couldn't even stand up. I managed to get to my fridge to get some ice. I tried to ice them to see if it would help but it made no difference. Heat made no difference, either. I took some painkillers and just laid there waiting, hoping the pain would ease. When it was time to get ready for work, I still couldn't walk. I could kind of stand on my heels so hobbled around on my heels to get ready. My school was going to send someone to take me to the hospital, but then decided everyone was too busy. So they called to get an ambulance to take me. The ambulance driver piggy-backed me down the stairs (my home is on the 3rd floor) and to the ambulance. The attendant in the back of the ambulance with me checked blood pressure and such. Said, "Very good!" Neither the driver nor the attendant spoke any English. When we arrived at the Soonchunhyang Hospital, the back doors were opened and the staff literally stopped dead, with shocked looks on their face. OMG! A waegook! Ha. Inside, they had me fill in a form then took me to get x-rays. The x-rays showed nothing wrong. The doctors had no idea what was causing the pain so they just put casts on both my feet to immobilize them. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Halloween has come and gone. I wish that Halloween came more than once a year! So much fun. I always have to have two costumes. One for my kindergarten Halloween party and one for going out. I asked all of my students during the week before the part what they thought I should be. Last year I was Snow White. Almost every student said they wanted to see scary Laura teacher. They had seen pictures of my last year's <a href="http://silveroses69.blogspot.kr/2012/05/halloween.html" target="_blank">Spider Queen</a> costume and wanted to see what I looked like scary. So I went towards more of a witch/demon/vampire. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Only two students were too scared. One of my 5 yr old (western age 4) class boys and one 5 yr old class girl, I'm sure only because it was her first day and she had no idea who I was.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For going out this year I was a steam punk vampire. I got the idea from the corset. I saw <a href="http://www.corset.co.in/Steampunk-Overbust-Corset-_p_708.html" target="_blank">the corset</a> months ago and just wanted it. So bought it. What can I do with a corset? Halloween costumes are a great idea. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A lot of prep went into my costume this year. I hand made my skirt - a three tiered bustle skirt, because I couldn't find one that I liked or that would match. I also hand made or altered some of the accessories.</span></div>

I keep thinking about Halloween. Last Halloween was so fun and my costume was quite amazing. I keep thinking about what kind of costume I could do that would either be better or at least as good as last years. Yes, it's a bit early, but it takes planning!!! I've got some ideas already. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Halloween I was a Spider Queen or Widow. Creepy, sexy, cool and just plain awesome. It took a while to figure it all out, plus a practice run on make-up (My good friend V is amazing with make-up) and then about 4 hours to put it all together. The results: </div>

She wrote that below the picture and then wrote down one of the silly songs that she had made up a while back. She sang it to me a month or so ago. TOOOO funny!!!! I'd post the video of it but don't have her permission. Maybe I'll get her to sing it and just get the audio of it. :)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2T9B0pXmC5VzFLVzEzA3H3dL1Bdtrn8effr77Pq5jN8YXjbW4jGcCyBBg6Nf7PyI_qyjBo15FB-HD0G333dZmwhcaLEPBOGVOwKYvYABOgzGj5zCMp8Wkcfunokjpf_nhuB3k4Q/s1600/299643_10150843931345187_654085186_21126175_701047205_n+%25282%2529.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2T9B0pXmC5VzFLVzEzA3H3dL1Bdtrn8effr77Pq5jN8YXjbW4jGcCyBBg6Nf7PyI_qyjBo15FB-HD0G333dZmwhcaLEPBOGVOwKYvYABOgzGj5zCMp8Wkcfunokjpf_nhuB3k4Q/s400/299643_10150843931345187_654085186_21126175_701047205_n+%25282%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657734953619544802" border="0" /></a><br /></div>"I am little I am small<br />and I talk a little bit<br />and I am very very cu te<br />and I am a butt shaker". <br /></div>laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10657619409589032793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18397170.post-51509513044282600282011-09-29T19:26:00.002+09:002011-09-29T19:35:08.803+09:00smallOne of my students, Jeanne, was doing a page in her writing home study book. The topic was, "What Are You Good At?" with space to draw a picture and a few lines to make a sentence or two about the picture. She wasn't sure what to do. <br />Jeanne: What am I good at?<br />Me: What are you good at?<br />Jeanne:.............ummmmm.<br />Me: Well? What are you good at?<br />(insert lightbulb over her head here and an 'I got it' look)<br />Jeanne: I'm good at being small!!!!<br />ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha<br />Jeanne is in grade two and is the second smallest in her class.

<br />How did we find that out? A couple of guys we met had wandered out on the mud flats a couple of nights earlier after having a few drinks and one either stepped on one or hit accidentally hit it with his foot causing it to light up. What a cool discovery!
<br />We did get to see it ourselves. They are hard to find at night because there aren't that many of them to begin with. When the tide is well out, take a flashlight and go for a walk. They appear whitish on the dark mud in the light of the flashlight. With the lights out, when touched, they glow a greenish blue color. Love it!!!
