Rough Economic Times Indeed

The Global Financial crisis has meant the shutdown of some of Wondang's (our neighbourhood) most memorable businesses. The 'Komo Life Style shop' was the only one-stop destination where we could find the following items (with the spelling as-advertised):
-Shoes
-Womon Wear
-Kid (damn!~ I didn't get to take advantage of their bargain prices on children)
-Bath
-Fashin Belt
-Bag (Just one bag)
-Jewely
-Aroma

Clearly, this business went before its time.

It's been a fun week, overall. Monday was one of my (Korean Teacher) friend's birthday, so we began the week with a plate full of chicken, and a glass full of beer (is there a better way to start the week?). I'm starting to get a familiar 'happy vibe' with my new students, and it's making the few classes I have quite enjoyable. The experience-room (themed rooms that they visit once a week) we had this week was the 'Cooking' room. The two previous semesters, I can't say that my recipes turned out all that well (Pizza and Cookies), but I found myself in more familiar territory this week: Nachos.

All the kids had never seen, or heard of nachos. As soon as they saw all of the ingredients I was going to pile in there (tomatoes/mushrooms/peppers, to go with the obvious cheese/chips/salsa), some managed to express 'Teacher! Yuck!!'. It wasn't a combination they'd ever seen, and to them, it seemed horrible to mix all of these things together.

Kind of the same expression I had, when I first saw Corn and Potatoes on pizza.

Thankfully, nachos are some of the (few) things I know how to cook quite well. I'm happy to report that I received 100% positive reviews, ranging from 'Yummy!', to 'Teacher! It's Perfect!'.

Tomorrow, instead of Kindergarden-aged kids, we'll actually be hosting High Schoolers in the experience rooms. Should be quite an interesting end to the week! Hope you have a good one.
