There's a Korean herb that smells very similar to weed but is not weed. That's what you smelled. If it was real weed a Korean wouldn't risk drawing attention by stinking up the whole place. Weed's expensive in Korea, too. Also, rare and hard to find. So just a tiny amount is consumed at a time, which is almost never. And the smell is masked.
Weed might be harder to find in Korea than in other countries, but if you know where to look, you'll find it, same as any other illicit drug here that people don't seem to think exist in this country. The smell is strongest on the roof, which is covered. I just got back down from opening the windows up there, and in my corridor.Pretty sure it was my neighbor. He's a shady, stupid ****** who lives on his dad's money. Likes to go up on the roof to smoke in general, he's the only one in the building who does. Probably assumed that the smell woudn't carry and that no one would know what that smell was even if it did.
As I've made clear to some of you on here, I don't intend to stay past the next semester (things could change). I was given a choice last month to either move apartments and keep teaching middle school, or keep my apartment and start teaching Elementary. I figured it'd be too much of a hassle to move with only six months left so I took the latter offer.I got a call yesterday from a teacher from the new Elementary school I was intended for, and he asked me about moving to the neighborhood (which is about the same distance from where I live as my current second school). I told him I'd be fine taking the bus, but he kept on insisting that I move closer. I told him we should talk later, as school had just ended.Cut to now, another NET from my neighborhood texts me about switching schools. He currently lives right next to the new school I'd be attending, and I live in walking distance from the school he'd be attending. I thought it was a win-win, as long as the higher-ups were ok with it. I gave him the green light to ask.Now my CT calls me telling me that I have to move (!!!!!!!!!!) because according to the superintendent, the previous choice was made since my friend has a car so he could travel the further distance. She also tells me that I have to return all the things that the school bought for my apartment (there's a list, but aside from the toaster and table, I'm not sure what else they'd be taking back), but somehow the choice is still in my hands to make.Everything is so backwards, even my friend is upset because the school he wants to trade for is literally viewable from his apartment window. I just want something to make sense. I even told my CT I don't intend to stay much longer, but everyone knows what's best for us NETs I suppose. Rather than keep us both have a place within walking distance, let's move one and force the other to drive 20 minutes. Frustration is too simple to describe how I'm feeling
Yeah that sounds like a huge mess with you in the middle. Sorry to hear it!It sounds very confusing too. Why were you offered the chance of keeping your apartment but switching to elementary?What happened with the first call? So that native teacher is leaving and you're replacing them. Are they going to your current school then; like a swap? Why does he care so much about where you live lolThen another native teacher got wind of this deal and wants to go to the elementary school that you're going to move to? In that situation where would you end up? A different school entirely?Sorry JVPrice, I've read your post a few times and still can't quite wrap my head around it
Anyone else finding waygook to be acting real shitty the last few days?

It's because you're not supposed to leave the country without permission. They're just checking where you'll be.
I think they do need to know where you're going to be during your vacation, but I'm not sure it's because you "need permission" to leave the country. I don't think they can tell you "no, you can't go abroad during your vacation." I'd be pretty surprised if they had that sort of authority.

It comes up almost every time. It's the one where he is a knight and slays the dreaded dragon. Man that ad is so bad and cheesy that it's almost good. If cheesy and memorable was their purpose then they really achieved it. I really should get the no ads version of YouTube.I always get the ad of some Korean man and his baby. D:I get either that or Beckham at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Is he actually a really good teacher? Is he some mascot whipped up by a hagwon? Is he some tv reality guy who got famous? Is he the next Sam Ham and someone we should all be wishing stinging insects and sunburn on? What's his deal?
