Let's go mushrooming.

Day 5 of 6 in a workweek where you feel like you're doing everything just slightly wrong:
Teachers: "Oh! Goodo moooorning!...(air of panic) What are you doing here?"
ALT: "Um, I work here? I think?"
But, it's a bit exciting to have a teachers' meeting called in your honor, if only to decide what to do with you all day. Allen Lachel Teacher also moonlights as Assistant Lachel-PE-Teacher, Assistant Lachel-3rd-grade math teacher, and general playground phenom. So now to cancel the weird week, some belated Seoul pictures:

This is the tunnel that leads to the tunnel under the DMZ that the North Koreans allegedly never built. (No pictures allowed, but Ty is sneaky.) They painted coal on the walls after the fact to pretend that it was an old abandoned mining tunnel, without accounting for the fact that there is nothing to mine for in the entire region. What's worse than a liar? A bad liar. It's a bit like a child scribbling their own name on the wall *cough cough Livia cough* and then blaming their infant sister. Who can't even crawl, let alone wield a crayon and the alphabet.

National assembly building, and inside on our personal tour, sloshing around in wet jeans and shoes on the marble floors. Below is part of a peace monument with stones taken from battles and wars all over the world over the past few hundred years. Some of the wars were ones I'd never even heard of, but it was a beautiful statement.
