Friday Five…

What be yer favorite ports o’ call? Where would ye want to hoist a mug’o’rum, were ye given a large pile ‘o’ booty to finance yer stay? I may not be an official Friday Five member, but sometimes the questions are interesting. I’m going to be more specific than some of the other people who posted about this. I’m going to talk about establishments… 1. Coffee Beans, a little coffee shop in Iksan, South Korea. It’s the best coffee shop in town. Now, wait, which one am I talking about? There are two, an old one where I have lots …

Seoul Update

다시!

오늘은 목요일이다… 그레서 좀 빠빠요. 오늘의 수업에 학생들이 잘 앴어요! 나는 너무 행복 했어요. 학생의 회사 식당에 떡만두국을 목었어… 그리고 지금 내 tracking server 보고있어요… 그리고 다시 한국어 블로그에 사람은 고드의 블로그에 린크 만들었어요! TypeMode.com에서 봤어요! 아마 WIK에서 등기 해야되요?
