Chloe, Ice Cream Fondue and Instant Coffee

Sunday morning Michael and I got up bright and early to catch the 9:50 am showing of Chloe. The movie doesn't officially release until March 26th, but for some reason, a lot of indie-ish American films get released outside of the US earlier. It was pretty good. The last movie we saw in theatres was Wolfman, so really anything would be better than that, but we did like it. Basic plot is this: Woman (Julianne Moore) is worried her husband (Liam Neeson) is having an affair, so she hires Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to see if her husband can be seduced. Warning - it's not a feel-good movie.

After that, we went across the street to Baskin Robins. I haven't seen one in the states since the 90s, but here they're pretty popular. We tried the ice cream fondue. It was delicious, as pictured here:

Yesterday was a national holiday, so we got yet another day to relax. We went over to check out Home Plus, which is another supercenter type place (As if Lotte World, E-Mart, and GS Mart weren't enough for our city). Unfortunately for us, it isn't open yet, which is too bad since it is less than two miles from our apartment. So we went over to Lotte Mart, which we haven't been to yet. It was huge. It has almost double the selection that E-Mart has, and I was able to find flour and yeast there! I will probably be baking tomorrow.

Today we head back to work, for the start of the new year. This will be the first session that we have taught from the beginning, which is exciting, but scary as well. Today I start a new class, 4.1. This is the first 4.1 class for the school, since the most advanced class to date has been grade 3. In addition to this class, Michael and I are both taking on 2-4 tutoring one-on-one classes Tuesday/Thursday. This unfortunately means the end of our easy days, but it also means that our school is doing well and we will have full schedules. From now on, we will be at school from 2:00 pm to 8:50 pm on T/R. I think I still have a period off on M/W/F, which will be nice for planning and grading. When we figure out our schedules, I will let you all know.

Finally, I want to talk about coffee. Most Koreans buy instant coffee here. The coffee comes freeze dried in a tube and is usually mixed with sugar and powdered creamer. It's pretty bad but we've become addicted. It's super cheap and we're provided with it for free at our school.

Well, I better get ready for the day. Have a good night!
