They were all hiding at the beach...

Our new school is pretty nice, I think. It will take a couple of weeks before everything is set up the way it should be, but I think it will be great once it's done. It seems that we'll be getting two new teachers around mid-June: a new Korean teacher who studied in New Zealand (or is it Australia?) and her American boyfriend.

Pressure... :P

Bart has a Korean fiancée. That American guy has a Korean girlfriend. And I saw about ten different foreigners with Korean girlfriends/boyfriends when Barbara and I went to Haeunday Beach today. Barbara doesn't have a Korean boyfriend, but then again, at the moment, I'm the only guy at the school unless you count the bus drivers who truly don't speak much English (and they don't really need to either).

I'm not here to find a wife though. And I'm not all that interested in anything else, to be honest. Been there, done that. It would help me learn Korean much faster, of course, but I try to keep myself above such base utilitarianism. I - instead - rely on a much higher, much more Christmas-party-centered form of utilitarianism. But then again, Busan doesn't really know anything about white Christmases, so it'd be easy to win the argument. :P No, I'm not ready to settle yet, so until I find a woman who's ready to travel with me, I guess I'll be single. And that's probably the way it should be.
