A morning of amusement...

Ah the life and times of miscomunicated comunication:

This morning, like any other morning I got up and slowly got ready like I like to do.

Got to the Bus station 08:20 - PERFECT! Bus leaves in 20min, I have time to relax a bit :-D.

08:25 - I get ticket (Speaking Korean no less)

08:35 - I see bus

I read ticket

I climb on bus

Bus starts going in the direction I was hoping :)

08:43 - To Imgo (where my Thursday school is) turn left...

Bus goes...

STRAIGHT

Shit!

Where am I going...

Go Keyong (My Wednesday and Friday school) is in this direction

Decide to wait to get to Go Keyong

08:57 - @Go Keyong - climb off bus, walk into teahcers office...

(looking rather paniced and sheepish)

Teacher 1: "Oh! You... ? Not today?"
Me: "Yes, I got on the wrong bus" *sighs*
Teacher 2: "Don't worry. She (Teacher 3) take you Imgo"

09:03 - Climb in Teacher 3's Car - she flies down the highway (but in a controlled, focused way)

Teacher 3: Desperate to over take a truck - bad plan. No space, pulls out.
Tries 2 more times, and passes, then has to pull back because of slow traffic in fast lane.
Stuck behind truck through to Imgo
Contemplates overtaking on a bridge (thinks better of it)

09:20 - Arrives at Imgo Middle School *I sigh with relief*, explain the story to other co-teacher (who again asks: do you have a phone (Brief aside: YEY FOR YOUR PHONE! :) ) and you can call me, I say no and explain)

09:30 - Co-T brings me some water and I go over my lessons with me and like them.

10:00 - Over a plate of Peaches my Co-T translates from one of the other teachers after hearing my name several times in Korean.

Struggling to surpress laughter she says: "Teacher wants to know if you have had plastic surgery on your nose? She think you handsome."

12:30 - 15 yr old male student: "Teacher, I love you" (They say that A LOT!)

When I have a picture of it - THE AWKWARD GIRAFFE will make an appearance on my page...
