Keep your head down...

So I've not been too great with the blog updates, mainly because the site is now in Korean so it's pretty much a trial and error process. 

I'm loving Korea so far. I've learned alot about myself, about life, etc in the past few weeks. But  won't get into that now. The main thing is, I've settled here and I know it's mostly due to the epic crowd of people I've fallen in with. My co-teachers are an amazing bunch and the friends I've made around Pyeongtaek are just as fantastic. I think this year is going to be one to remember, that's for sure! And not to sound like a sap, but I can't believe how lucky I've been with my school, and most importantly, my kids. What a cute, witty and smart bunch. The whole package is perfect for me, it's such a satisfying way of life. I'm still shocked on a daily basis by the low cost of living, it's great to know I can do, buy and go wherever I want, when I want. 

The week before last ended with a cool night out with the girls to see 'Breaking Dawn' at the cinema - AMAZING! Followed by a chilled weekend getting settled in the flat and hanging out with Geordie Jess shopping and bantering on the Sunday. Then, through the week; it was trivia night on Tuesday and... we won! Couldn't believe it. It means we're hosting tomorrow night, should be a laugh! On Wednesday, my co-teachers and I took a trip to Songtan to watch one of our own, the fellow Scot, take on the Osan crowd (aka, American crowd) for comedy night. He blew them away, it was hilarious! This weekend was full of ups and downs, but thanks to good friends, and skyping with family, I got through it, and now it's time to get myself properly settled here in amazing South Korea. 

Also, I like taking pictures of food more than anything else, so you've been warned...

Friday night dinner before the movies... I could live on galbi :)

 Coffee and cake with Jess got Christmassy!

Tonight, it's time for a quiet night in preparing some trivia for tomorrow nights' quiz, then tomorrow... let the fun begin!  

It can't rain all the time...

It never feels like Halloween is right around the corner until you watch this film. For years and years, I've never let October 30th go by without watching it. It still is, and always will be, my all time favourite... better get the tissues ready.

*goosebumps*

Also, if anyone mentions a sequel, or re-make of this film in my company, I will hit you. 

Zombies are the only thing scarier than air travel.

I see the latest episode of 'The Walking Dead' is now available to watch... should I watch it alone? I think not. 

If you're laughing at me right now, up yours [appropriate gesture occurs here] because it's r-e-a-l-l-y scary, okay? And I'm talking churning stomach plus sweaty palms scary. Yup.

On a lighter note, that Andrew Lincoln and Steven Yeun, eh? Oh aye ;p

The Darkest Hour...

As a girl who flies the geek flag with pride, I'm not ashamed to admit that the best part of my week in the Spring/Summer months is Doctor Who on a Saturday night. And in the Autumn/Winter, it's Merlin. I love the spin they've put on such an epic legend, and the bromance between Arthur and Merlin completely makes it.

Last weeks' series opener was absolutely amazing, and this weeks' would have been if it wasn't for one tiny detail. Now, I'm used to them not exactly going along with the plot of the original legend but... Lancelot? Really?! I'm still reeling... *sob*

And yes, I really did just dedicate an entire post to Merlin. And there are still 11 episodes of this series to go so deal with it ;)

방용국 - "I Remember" (feat. Yang Yo Seop)

I'm still not entirely sure what's actually happening in this video, but it's still one of my favourites to turn up really REALLY loud. And it still makes me cry. If you don't have a tear in your eye at the end then you have no soul :p

Heh. Love it :p
