The Little Mermaid and other Korean Fun Times

Today has been an interesting adventure in Korean culture. :-)
First off, we loaded up and took all of our Pre-K/Kindergarten classes to see a theatrical production of "The Little Mermaid". The only parts even remotely in line with the Disney vision of this were the Flounder and Sebastian props. It was terrible. Ursala was an ugly old man, Prince Eric was an ugly girl. Ariel and the rest of the gang - for the most part were just puppets - King Triton lost his crown, it was a total slaughter. The kids enjoyed it; that's all that matters - lol.
Then, we were sitting around the office before classes, as usual. Lea and Ellie, two of the other teachers start talking about Lea's martial arts classes and Ellie says that when she first met me she thought that I might like being involved in something like that. I was like "why did you think that when you first saw me?" Well she skirts it for a minute then I eventually get out of her that she thinks I have an "athletic build" - which I'm pretty sure translates from Korean English to English as "dykey" lol. She's funny. But regardless, I am considering taking the classes with Lea because I can feel myself getting fatter by the day and it grosses me out.
After school I went to the grocery store to pick some stuff up. I walk past this older Korean woman and after I pass her she starts chasing after me and bends down and starts screaming in Korean and pointing at my shoe because it's untied. I usually brush people off when they tell me my shoe is untied, because well I just don't give a f*ck, but this lady was INTENSE - hahaha - so I bent down right there in produce and tied my shoe and then walked away with a smile.
Tonight I am going with the other teachers to one of their friends child's birthday party. It's a one year old birthday party, but I guess it's a big deal in Korea. Like they rent reception halls and DJ's and go ALL out.

Love Y'all -2-
