Mass Freeze in Coex Mall South Korea

Teacher You Nike Airs are a FAKE!

So, I decided to dress down one day last week and I wore a pair of sneakers to school. I normally dress rather casually but I never wear sneakers to school. I guess I was being a rebel this day lol. It was not until my second period class when a student keeps looking at my sneakers.

I did not really pay that much attention to the student until he started making funny faces. He then proceeds to raise his hand, I call on him and this was our convo.

Me: Yes, do you have a question?
Student: Yes, teacher your Nike air's are a FAKE! You get in Korea?
Me: Ummmm no they aren't, I got them from America, from footlocker.
Student: No, teacher let me see ( with his hand extended)
Me: OK, here ( as I give him my shoe)
Student: OK, teacher these are good, they are AHSA (awesome in Korean)!

So, I guess I was a bit flabbergasted more a fe reasons, 1 being IF i really did have some fake shoes on, did my student just try and blow up my spot???? and 2 how and WHY, does this little dude know how to tell if Nike's are real or fake??? I guess the world may never know lol
Still Seoul Searching.....

RENT !!

SO I know it has been a while since I have blogged and I am VERY sorry about that. Things have just been so busy. However that is no excuse I WILL do better! Since my last post we went to see the Broadway musical RENT! To answer your question YES it was in English! It was GREAT, I have seen rent before and I have seen the movie, seeing it again it was even better. The show was PACKED, it did bring some questions to mind though.

The Koreans really seemed to enjoy the show, but it made me think about if they really understood how REAL RENT is for many people. Drug use is not an issue in Korea and AIDS is not an epidemic here, so it just seemed like pure entertainment to them. OK enough sad talk. The singing and acting and the people I went with really made for a GREAT Sunday afternoon.
