I do beleive it's rainy season.  Supposedly it only lasts through July.  It started raining last night, and we had an awesome thunderstorm.  There were flashes of lightning, and the thunder woke us up this morning.  It was so loud that it set some car alarms off.  So that was cool, but now it's annoying.  We are starting to get the hang of teaching.  Yesterday we had activity day with the kindergarten classes.  Instead of teaching the usual 40-minute classes, we had 10 minute rotations with each class where we did an activity.  The theme was summer so my activity was pretty much pin the tail on the donkey.  Except it was pin the sharks in the swimming pool.  Carson played the orange relay game.  The one where you pass an orange to the next person using only your neck.  He said the kids liked it, but he couldn't play it with the youngest class, Oxford.  The kindergarten classes are named after universities.  Oxford class is the little 5-year olds.  They are so cute! 
I teach class of 15-year olds in the afternoon, and they are helping me learn a little bit of Korean.  After we finish our lessons, they like to teach me.  Their english is really good so they're actually really helpful.  I sometimes have to plan ahead for their lessons because they are learning about the stuff you learn in Jr. high and high school and then forget.  We learn about dependent clauses and verbal phrases and things like that.  We work from 9:30-7 so we're pretty much at work all day.  We don't teach every period so sometimes we get 40 minute breaks.  The only time we really get to get out and explore is on the weekends.  So I don't have any new pictures.  But we'll be here for a year so don't you worry.  We'll post some soon!
