Well, the 6-week program is over, and congrats to my students. It was these people that made my time here in Daegu tolerable. They all took care of me in some way.

From left to right...

Subong--who made a phone call and hooked me up with a foreign staff member from his school, who then took me on the town to show me the sights and ease my boredom.

Yoon--who always asked and made sure if I needed anything. Who brought me a bottle of liquid tide so I could wash my clothes, who always had smokes when I didn't and always told great tales.

Jae--the old lady of the group, who continuously invited me to Busan, who always brought snacks and ordered at our lunchtimes for me.

Jinny--who always double checked my meaning so she could accurately translate into Korean, who showed me the subtle ways of Korean habits and is a strong, independent female, pushing the standards on singledom in Korea.

Yong Suk--who had a twisted sense of humour, but always kept us laughing. His offbeat ideas and inability to follow the train of my thought.

And there they are...a great group of people who have become dear to me.
