a little on the side

Just a little tidbit I don't think I've ever mentioned.

In Korea (and quite a bit in Argentina also) people think Cameron is a girls name because the only Cameron they know of is Cameron Diaz.  Well, while we were at Noribang (karaoke) for our work party, the head of kindergarten confessed to me that when she got the information sheet about Cameron and I before we got to SLP she thought, based on the names, that we were a lesbian couple.  She also confessed she thought that was a bit weird but was willing to accept it.

Turns out I didn't take many photos from when Gerry was here.  It was lucky he had his camera on him all the time to catch beauties like the Japanese Kite Flying Team in all their glory.  

This is us at Chicken Galbi (BBQ).  They gave us aprons/bibs to wear.  We were the only ones in the half-full restaurant wearing them.. but hey, they saved our clothes.  

Cam's just drinking coke, because it's inappropriate to drink beer at lunch when you teach children afterwards.  Gerry's drinking beer because he's on holiday.

After lunch we had a go at the batting cages.  Cam and Gerry had a competition.  Cam tells me now that he hit every ball but Gerry failed to do the same.  Though I thought I heard Gerry telling a different story, so I'm not too sure..

We also played some more virtual golf in our building that night.  They let you play double the number of shots that the par for the whole is.  For example, hole 1 was a par 4 so you can have a max of 8 shots.  I maxed for the 9holes.  On every hole.   

In the end Gerry bet Cam by 1 hit.  It's all rather contentious though, something about out of bounds and the F11 key on the computer.  

When I was batting some Korean girl challenged me to a game where we tried to hit more balls than the other.  I made contact with 9 balls of 15 or so, she made contact with only 4.  This meant I got to flick her in the head 5 times once we were finished.

I'm not sure why she wasn't at school or something at 1pm on a Tuesday.

This photo is actually after Gerry had left, but we're enjoying the wine and cheese he bought us before he went.
