Wish P good luck

Today is the second day of this new semester…school started yesterday. We had some new English teachers here—as a matter of fact they are substitute teachers, who are like casuals in other companies. And one on practical training, whose nick is P. She will have to follow an experienced formal teacher ( not me, but another colleague of mine) and learn how to teach students and make them behave. Since we worked together for the English summer camp during this summer break, she’s taken me as an older sister ( or another mom maybe…urm I think too much hahaha. )

P left me a message on my desk this morning, telling me she gotta talk with me. Later on she came and said she had a big problem and was afraid she would cry while talking about it. I didn’t think it was a good idea to talk in my office then—many teachers were around. So we left for another quiet place at school, and I listened to her story. Pretty soon she cried like a baby…I didn’t exaggerate…*sighs* She did feel very bad because the guy she’s seen for around 1 year told her a few days ago he would break up with her after he got fired. He’s been working in a café as a waiter since he graduated from a univ. Well…must say it is not a new story. Many couples break up in this world every day. Therefore, it is still heartbreaking because it is her first love.

What could I do? Just be a good listener, and advised her not to meet that guy again. She previously wanna do so—to get her book back and tell the guy how sad and uncomfortable she feels. I said NO. Don’t need to tear the heart once again this way. A book doesn’t cost much. Don’t send sms. Don’t call him! The only thing P needs to do is forget about the guy who doesn’t want her any longer and move on as fast as she can. Yes…and find a guy who is into her first, wanna build a relationship up, and chase her. It is fated to break up once the guy feels the girl loves him too much, never a challenge for him. I enjoy being chased by guys…and really it is stupid to “choke” the man I want with too much loving care right? *grins*

P has to realize this—her b/f, soon her ex I must say… has been giving her hints that he doesn’t really love her during the “courtship”. Easy to tell, but she loves him too much to see it through. So sorry for her. We females gotta remember: Never chase guys. Fall in love with those who love us more and we are really crazy about. P is a nice girl…and she is lucky to have such a good “big sister” like me—I don't wanna be another mom of hers... Do hope she can be fine asap after crying for that guy. Think bright, move on, and finally get a wonderful Mr. Right!

Where the king worked

A better shot of the old palace. The local tour guide told us the hill behind has the best 'fengshui' ! Hope you guys who see this pic can have good luck as well.

In the old palace

Resting by the lake. It is in the old palace, and you can tell some building is under construction.

Tasty stuff

OK...my favorite topic. It is traditional Korean food--fried rice on the left and some BBQ ( vegetables and niangao though since I am a vegetarian...) They always have spicy paocai on the table, but I didn't get any.

Korean House Villiage

Many traditional Korean houses. They look like ancient Chinese ones don't they.

Do you know them

They said the characters are famous. And the local tour guide told us many Japanese obasans stood on the stone to be near the man...posing like they were to kiss the guy in that big poster...Ahh no I would not. ( I don't think korean guys are better...)

Let's kick

Where I was? The place where the world cup took place in 2002. Soccer of course. The area I stood is expensive--500 USD for each seat...

We need freedom

Took a trip to Korea, and I was on the Bridge of Freedom, where you can see bunches of flags behind me. It is near the northern Korea...hehehe.
