Finally after 9 years, I bought some cool summer trousers in a normal Korean shop that fit and are really comfortable keep me cool in the summer. Usually if I go shopping the majority of shops don't have my size or they are slim fit. I am just shy of 6 foot tall and weigh 84 kilos, but for the life of me I have never been able to find decent trousers here. I got used to the fact that I have size 11 feet so can't get my trainers downtown. I like the shops like Eight Seconds/H&M/Zara etc as the cost is good, and the range is nice but the biggest size are just too tight for me or just not big enough. But on Saturday I went to Uniqlo and found some nice trousers for the summer which are airy enough (Dry brand) and also stretch nicely for 49 000 won. They are also smart enough to look professional, which I think is important. I bought some linen trousers from H&M last year and after one sitting they split down the bum, the stitching didn't look especially strong when I got them, but for 29 000 won it was to be expected. Little things like this make me happy.

If it took me 9 years to find them, I will double that time for you. But as you are leaving I'm not sure you have 18 years on you.

Just moving to Seoul.(And I get my pants shipped from the USA anyway )Oops, my bad. So you do have 18 years? I taught at the same two schools for seven years. One had a special assembly where all the 100 students wrote me a letter and came up to the stage to give them to me. I got a special glass plaque for my 'service' there. At the other school, the students made me a special video of themselves saying goodbye to the soundtrack of an 'Oasis' track. I didn't cry at school but I did when I went home and watched it. Sometimes we don't realise that we make a difference to students and it is sad to say goodbye to them.
