me: so octopuses…

student: do you mean octopi?

other professor: oh no you didn’t

student: I TAKE IT BACK

me: so, in English, we borrow not only WORDS, but MORPHOLOGIES, and since octopus is a Greek word borrowed into Latin borrowed into English…

I made a big batch of Singapore noodles (actually a HK dish), and I think the moral of this story is if you put enough curry powder in noodles, it covers up..a lot a lot of culinary sins

With a bit of adventurous bus riding, there's also some great hiking there on some mountains with Buddhist iconography carved into rock faces

Seokguram and Bulgugksa are also around there if you're interested in Korean Buddhism. Nice light hiking and beautiful religious art and architecture

It's called a λ°₯상 (bapsang)! Traditionally, it was a little dining table you used by putting your meal on it and carrying it to where you were going to eat.

I think it's good for me to remember what this is like. It helps me stay nicer to my students.

I ended up taking two separate Korean classes at once, and I have to write an essay and practice sentences for 10 μ‚¬μžμ„±μ–΄ and give a presentation about Korean Arbor Day this week. So it's gonna be..5.5 hrs of homework. Plus pre-/review. That's a whole 3hr undergrad class's amt of work for a week, lol.

It will be very angsty but also swashbuckling. Ship cannons that shoot Smeraldo flowers that melodramatically dissolve to dust mid-air
