It’s Halloween tomorrow , and we stayed until 9pm last night decorating the academy. It’s completely covered in black with loads of scary motifs. The kids love it, even if it’s hard work for the staff. I’m going to be a witch, but a friendly one as I don’t want the students to be too scared. I have a shiny cape that gleams green and purple and a cheap hat I got at Daiso.

Someone in my family has no wifi right now. Hopefully it’ll be sorted soon. But I know from experience these things can take ages. When you’re in an international relationship or your family live abroad, as we do, then a good wifi connection is essential. My family live in Scotland, California and South Korea so you can imagine needing wifi to keep in touch. I can imagine the stress my daughter is feeling right now, because my fiance and I had six months of long distance relationship and we needed to be able to get in touch every day. Wifi becomes a lifeline.

  • Of Sweetness and Superposition

    A few weeks ago, before the previous teachers left, we went to Outback Steakhouse for lunch together. I ordered chicken salad. The seasoning was off as the chicken was too salty. The thing that I couldn’t get over though was how sweet the cheese soup was. The bread and butter were sweet too. I have…

  • Of Retro and Remembering

    Today we had Retro Day at the school. I didn’t have any clothes from the past but I found a worn baseball cap, from San Francisco, that looked vintage. The kids dressed up. There was a photo zone and fashion parade. We made dalgona candy and ddakji, which people may know of now, due to…
