Team Crazy!

A few weeks ago I passed some of the students from my school playing video games. I got this very quiet student (a first or second grader, because I don't teach him) to smile for me. Composition is too tight, I know. I had my prime lens and just couldn't back up because the boys were jostling me.

Last night's taekwondo class was fun. We played soccer and the kids couldn't stop tripping over each other, falling, kicking each other. One kicked me hard in the shins. I've got a bruise on the right one. Always that leg.

I told our team that our name was "팀 미쳤어!" Team Crazy! We would chant "one, two, three!" in Korean and scream "Team Michyeotseo!" and make devil's horns.

The other teams really did think we were crazy.

An American educator moves to Korea, presumably to teach English. Instead she discovers that learning Korean one taekwondo class at a time is a more captivating activity.
