Wintery

It's winter and the ice is stuck to the pavement. It doesn't seem to be thawing anytime soon. So I've developed a new homebody routine of figuring out how to crochet.

My new bamboo crochet hooks finally arrived today.
Taking daily walks in the snow is beautiful and sometimes cautiously slow. This temple (Daeheungsa) is about an hour and 1/2 from Gwangju. I was looking for a trail through the surrounding hills but instead just wandered around the temple grounds. I met a college student who told me all about his hitchhiking adventures. Thumbing it is completely common in villages and small towns. I can't wait to try it, but I think I'll wait for warmer weather.

Last week I had two teaching hours everyday, one hour of story time with 1st and 2nd graders and one hour of "free talking" with some older students. This week is my second English language camp- with 6th graders who if you forgot are 13 and 14 years old and full of it. And, next week is Seolnal (Lunar New Year) which means a week off from classes. Basically the last month and a half have been very relaxed.

A flea market at Kunsthalle. Crafts, used clothes, used games, food, drink, music, art, and fun.
