Leo's girlfriend

We took a trip to Gyeongju National Museum.


Leo's girlfriend met us there. Leo's a rock star.


Basketball triumph

This could have been me. My guys saved me (and themselves) by winning our basketball game with Stephane's class. The bet: losers wear miniskirts the next day. Believe it or not, there are actually quite a few pretty girls in our school.


Class T-shirts

We decided to make some class T-shirts. My students had some friends who were graphic artists. They sent them some photos of me, and this is the artwork they came up with.




This one is on the right front breast, about 3 inches wide.
This is what we put on the back.


Gag shots

My guys and I took some gag photos when we were out one time. They're pretty funny. I keep them in my wallet, they're good for a laugh.


Field trip to CheomSeongDae

Here's me and my homeroom guys on a fieldtrip to CheomSeongDae, the observatory.


We took a photo with this cute little boy.


Frolicking in the fields.


Headin' back.


We went out for a bit of dinner afterward.

Bike Ride

Occasionally, we'd combine Cultural Inheritance class with a bit of an outing. Here we're taking advantage of the nice weather to head out on a bike ride.




Pizza and class presentations down by the lake.

Spring 2007

So, here we are in spring 2007, my second semester at GEV. This is Cultural Inheritance class, which is also my Intensive Conversation and homeroom class. I had 11 students, all guys, and they dubbed themselves "Martin's Eleven".

Golgulsa

My sister Suzanne and brother-in-law Peter came to visit me in January 2007. They had been doing some volunteer work in the Philippines and decided to drop in just because they were in the area. We had a really nice time visiting the Golgulsa temple.






Friday, February 1, 2008

We also went for a visit to Seoul, where we took in the Gyeongbokgung Palace.





You can see Suzy and Peter in there, on the left.

Andong

The entire school used to go on a full-day field trip once per semester. Here we are travelling to Andong, a town famous for its mask dance tradition.
