A LITTLE STORY I HEARD

My teacher passed on a little true story to me this week...

A korean teacher in an elementary school had a very well behaved student sitting in her class right at the front. So everyday in the morning the teacher would ask that little girl to fetch her a glass of water as class was starting. And so everyday that little girl fetched her teachers water.
Everyday was the same routine

7 months went by and the little girl has a confession... every time she went to collect the water for the teacher, she in fact collected the water directly from the girls lavatories... the little girl said she "enjoyed the satisfaction of watching her teacher gulp down toilet water every day for 7 months"

Innocent little children.

COOKING & CULTURE

Nothing defines the beautiful culture clash of a British-Korean marriage better than that moment when Kimchi enters the fridge space.

Kimchi, delicious as it is, boasts a pungent aroma that seems to permeate all other food items in the fridge, which is ok for most foods like vegetables and meats, but it doesn't go quite so well with the milk I have everyday for my breakfast.
Actually it's not so bad... or i've just gotten used to it, but it was a momentous occasion none the less and a good reminder of our diversity in our unity.

We've been sharing the cooking most days so it's been good to have a variety of meals, two recent attempts I enjoyed making were a shepherds pie and an english breakfast... you do become far more aware of your national identity living abroad.
