The Wizard of Oz

...well not really. We were told we were taking our kids to see this play on Friday. Instead, it was this really random animal tricks show with monkeys, birds, snakes and dogs interwoven with scenes of The Wizard of Oz. Very strange but the kids seemed to enjoy it.

This is Roy. He is our newest student.

August Birthdays

So last Friday we had our August birthday celebration. Two of my students, Zoey and Coleen had their birthdays. It was also Jonny's birthday. They slicked his hair and gave him a combover, it was adorable! Hahhaa.
Here are some photos of the day.
Then during the weekend following the birthdays I went to Seoul. We had no school on Monday for Korea's Independence day so it was a nice long weekend. I hung out with my friend and her co workers and had a pretty fun weekend.

day 6 and 7

Now its Friday and we wake up to take a van to this place called Kawasan Falls. It was 4 hours to get there then 4 hours back! We didnt realize this when we planned the trip but oh well! The falls were very beautiful. We stayed there for only maybe two hours haha but it was worth the trip. We swam in the falls and had lunch there.















After our long journey home we we out to dinner then met up with Jamie and her friends and went out for the night. We were going to go this place called "The Loft" but it seemed too expensive and boring so we ended up at this locals club called P.U.M.P. It was a busy dance club in the middle of nowhere with all this outdoor seating as well where you could sit and eat and drink. We danced until about 5 am and then went back to the hotel. It was a fun last night out, really our only night that we stayed out!

We slept until our check out time and then hung out at the pool for the day, got more massages, and went shopping. Before we headed to the airport, we went to another Thai restaurant with our Korean friends and then got ready to fly home. Our flight was around 10PM, so we had another long overnight journey back to Korea. In Manila we had a long layover so we tried to sleep on the floor but it was freezing so we couldnt sleep! We played lots of ShangHai at the airport and eventually make it back to Incheon. I then had to wait two more hours for a bus to take me to my town but I made it home around 9PM on Sunday. Just in time to go to sleep and go to work in the morning!
Holiday over!!! I had a good time though, cant wait to be somewhere tropical again : )

Day 4 & 5

We spent day four as our last day in Bohol. I went diving one more time and it was great! The boat didnt make me feel nauseous this time and the diving went well too. I met up with my friends after diving and hung out by the pool. We swam with this little girl named Shakira. She was from Sweden or something but spoke good English. She was pretty crazy and we played mermaid barbies with her. We went out for drins and dinner that night and then played cards. Carolyn's family plays a game called ShangHai that involves three decks of cards. It was pretty fun.

The next morning we left to get the 2 hour ferry back to Cebu. We spent the day at the pool at the Montebello hotel again and got more massages in town. We went out to dinner at a Peruvian place which was really good. We went to bed early because the next morning we were heading on a journey we thought was two hours away. It ended up being 4 hours each way!

Here are some pictures from the trip in no order.
