King Crab!

We loved this picture of the King Crab giving either a sideways 'peace' like the Koreans often do...or a 'NaNu NaNu' from Mork & Mindy! :-) We found this very nice/clean market near the World Cup Stadium (yes, they played the World Cup there several years ago...great facility). These King Crabs were huge and almost exiting the tank on their own. They were not the Alaskan variety...but from Russian waters. Fish were flopping around everywhere and we only saw one pigeon nibbling on some grains that were for sale...yikes! The stall owner came out from behind the table....armed with cherry tomatoes...and started pelting the pigeon....then he saw us smiling...rushed over and have us a big bag of little tomatoes...they were delicious!

We were on that side of town because I was interviewing for a kindergarten position....they are looking for native English speakers to teach in a fun/practical/introduction type of way...English, Leggo activities, music, art and swimming! Lunch is provided...'as long as you don't mind Korean' they said. I said - no problem...:-) I will begin 1 day per week...and may increase if things go well. It's a brand new facility and program...I believe they are trying to introduce English in a manner that is fun and with less direct memorization. This experience should be rich with potential blog stories....:-) The head of the program thought that my Korean will improve a lot...just being/interacting with the children...I hope so!
