"OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT IT'S A TINY USELESS ROOFTOP AREA" -> insert canned cheering sounds and lots of onscreen textthen it shows the price: one billion, trillion, gazillion won You mean a Seoul version of MTV's 'Cribs' only in a place where rent is sky high due to population density and lack of arable land?

Sounds like the total opposite of escape to the sun where you see ordinary British couples turn their noses up at amazingly cheap places with swimming pools in Spain. Just watched an episode where they were looking at places for 300 grand in Cosra Rica. 'Yeah, we like the 6 acress of land, 3 en suite double bedrooms and open plan dining/living area the size of a church hall but the 4th bedroom's a bit on the small side and the pool's the wrong shape ' etc..

UGH. Today is graduation and all the students left at about 11:30. 2 of my co-teachers randomly told me yesterday that I could leave early today after lunch. Cue today when one asks if I'd put it into Neis....so basically they were informing me that I was "allowed" to use part of my vacations days to leave early on a day with no students...I was really looking forward to leaving early.

The English room at my main school doubles as my office. Since I'm stuck here deskwarming for a few days, I decided to do some deep cleaning. The desk in here is really big and heavy, so it probably hasn't been moved since the day it was put in, and I know there's gotta be some nasty shit built up underneath it. I just found two dead birds.
D: Dead animals are the worst. In the apartment above me, lives one of my students and her family. Her father is a deadbeat and over the weekend, threw the same dead mouse into my apartment twice. I even caught him the 2nd time. He regularly throws his trash into my apartment, and if I have everything closed, he slides it under my front door, or leaves it on my tiny little balcony.

How did he react when you caught him, lol? Did he snort a bunch of snot as loud as he could? That's something a lot of my delinquent students do whenever they're trying to act tough and play like they don't care. No idea why, but they think it's intimidating, haha.

I wouldn't want to do that to my student or her mother. Her mum is nice.
