Aimee’s World Tour

Today I will learn the ins and outs of making (and consuming) two of Koreas signature beverages: soju and makalee.

I’m going on a tour that was created by my friend and fellow teacher Sue and her husband Justin.  Sue and Justin run a helpful and insightful everything foreigners need to know about Korea website called theyeogiyo.com.  I highly recommend you try it out!! 

Now I’ve had soju before which tastes like …anitceptic?  Basically it’s Korean vodka.  Then there’s makalee which is a milky alcohol and this will be my first time. 

The place is a hefty 3 hours away but I’ll be in the entertaining company of most of my foreign co-workers. 

I’m proud of myself for making the journey because I’ve seen next to nothing of Korea!!  When I get back from my China/Everest adventure I plan on doing a mini roadtrip of the whole place.  Maybe a week. 

But of course travel fever is setting in and well I could just continue south after Bejing to see the Terricota Warriors in Xian (yeah I don’t know the spellings) and eventually head out from the Hong Kong airport…

I digress.  Back to soju and makalee.  This blog will be edited for important information.  😉

Cheers! or Gambaay!

…And so I’ve neglected to write on many an occasion of many a thing.

The kids and the stories they leave me with everyday are hilarious.

Korean business is well getting much shadier at our school but that’s not my focus.

I like my job… it’s been a great run and it will soon be coming to an end.  Just 27 sleeps until Graduation and 28 days till my last day.

The times I’ve wandered outside of concrete Bun Dang, I’ve really enjoyed the scenery and plan on doing a mini-road trip some time in March on my visitor’s visa.  Those seeking adventure may join me.

 Speaking of adventures, I have a couple amazing tricks up my sleeve.  What say you to The Great Wall and Mt. Everest?!  BAM!!!

And now I leave you with promises of detailed accounts of the last weeks and the Asian journeys that follow.

A lot of you will be making your picks this March for the maddness.  I will as well but of a different sort. More of a “Where to now?”

New York is my number one. Then NJ, CA, AZ, Colorado, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland. In that order.

Doesn’t matter so much where as long as I’m making money and going to school. Plan is to be the Nanny named Fran.

 A friend of mine recently told me via facebook chat that I didn’t belong in school.  Rather I should be out in the world doing crazy adventures. Trust me – if I could be paid to do this I would.  

Sure some of my blogs are a little rough, but there are a few that I’ve actually really “worked on” that may show a smidgen of potential.  Or perhaps I’m dreaming.

Off to eat the deliciousness that is Korean BBQ – galbi!!!  The sides are endless!  Did I ever even write about the sides??  No. Shame on me.  Pfffft.
