Summer! Vacation! Excitement! Engrish!

I hate summer in Korea. It is just the worst. It's overly muggy, it rains too much with no give, and it's Korea. Another thing is Koreans are all about energy saving (God forbid they turn off all those damn neon signs littering the country) and thinking air conditioning makes you sick (see here), so they use air conditioning sparingly, or leave it at such a high temperature that it does nothing to kill the humidity. Humidity is always the worst part about the summer. Pretty much as soon as I leave my apartment I am either drenched in sweat, water, or both. I would hate to live here forever. Five more months to go!

So I have taken the plunge and started planning my trip to Japan. I am going from September 5th through September 9th. I will be in Osaka for the first day, Kyoto on the weekend of the 6th and 7th, and then back to Osaka the night of the 7th through the 9th. I was advised it would be worth my time to take a trip to Nara to see the awesome deer. I plan on going there for the day on the 8th. I cannot express how excited I am to see Japan. The night I am in Kyoto I will be staying in a traditional ryokan, so I am pretty psyched. I've heard there are places in Kyoto where you can try on traditional kimonos. I think they even do your hair. I'll have to do more research about those options. AAAAAAH!!! SO EXCITED! Now that I know I will have the 5th off, I need to get my flight booked quickly. Update: Flights are booked! Woohoo!

This week one of my students came to school wearing a shirt with English all over the front. I stopped her so I could read it, knowing full well it would say something wonderful. She did not disappoint...

Are what?! The suspense is killing me!
