Quote from: lifeisgood6447 on August 21, 2018, 12:38:52 pmThat seriously sounds like a family quirk, or something that your wife picked up from you MIL when she was growing up. I have eaten many a bibimbab with different places, all over the country, and have never once seen that. I have mostly seen granulated sugar added to bread or "donuts" or corn dogs.Second this. I've never even heard of this, let alone seen it EVER in my 6 years here.

After getting to school, I was told that I didn't need to go to work since all schools on Jeju are CLOSED. WTF, really?! Funny how the PoE sent the message at about 9:50 AM knowing g-damn well that all of us would already be at work. Now I'm stuck here until 5. Yea.. after 'lunch', I'm out!
Just got a note from my son's school..."On the advice of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, the school will be closed tomorrow (Friday 24 August) as a precaution against Typhoon Soulik. School will finish at regular hours today (Thursday) with all after school meetings and activities postponed. All weekend activities are also postponed. Further communication will follow over the weekend."
The installation of the elevators was supposed to be completed over the course of summer break. It seems the school and the contractors were delayed in coming to an agreement on a contract, though, so work began ten days later than it was supposed to. That means rather than being done before this semester started, it will be done ten days or so afterwards. That means any classrooms anywhere near the construction get to deal with construction sounds all day (because of course they aren't waiting until after school hours to work on it). The noise ranges from mildly irritating to unbearable. It's distracting to the students, makes listening exercises more difficult, and causes me to have to raise my voice far more often than I'd care to.
Yup, government regulation and union-backed labor means that you get contractual delays for construction work. That's what you get with a liberal government.
The water valve to my toilet blew up this morning. Water got everywhere.
Last week walked into my office/classroom and it smelled kinda funky. Didn't think anything of it, it is summer after all. Just open the windows and let it air out, right? Turns out the source of the smell is a rotting pizza slice on top of the fridge with a bunch of dead maggots around it. I don't want to touch it and I know my cleaning students won't want to either. *sighhhh*

Look on the bright side: you may have lost a toilet, but you've gained a shower!I see you're a bathroom half full than bathroom half empty person, Kyndo.

A puddle also managed to trick me into thinking it wasn't a puddle, and now my shoes and socks are soggy wet.
