New Toys

We have been settling in to our life as ESL teachers here in Korea quite well. Michael and I are both enjoying the change in scenery and the newness that everything has to us as foreigners. We were really excited this week to pick up some things that make our lives just a little bit easier. First, we bought a baby dehumidifier. Quite shockingly, in the coldest winter Chuncheon has seen in a while, we have a bit of a moisture problem. In fact, we have a mold. Only in the closet, but we had to move all of our stuff out of there and air the room out. The baby dehumidifier is working well, pretty soon we will have a mold free room!

Second, Michael got a gigantic power converter for his Xbox360 so he can play games for more than 30 minutes at a time. Before, we had two mini converters that would overheat if used too often. Now we can play games and watch movies for a few hours without any problems.

Third, we splurged and bought a "mini convection oven" from Living Korea. It's cute as a button and we can bake in it! Specifically, I want to make little pizzas and maybe some cookies. So far we have toasted a few things and they have turned out well. Michael cooked his hotdogs in it and it worked perfectly for that too! Now, I just have to find some flour...

  1. Sorry about the fortiflora. Hope you can get some online there. I split a packet between Henry and Oliver. If you can't get any let me know. I would be willing to send you some. My love to you, Michael, and Kizmo. Mommy

  2. Ha ha, we have quite a bit left. We've been using it very sparingly. We're probably going through 2 packets a week, so we will be okay for another month or so and then we will have to see!

  3. Hi, I know this is late. How was the convection oven you bought? Where did you get it?
