Special collections for Claudia

My friend, big sister... Claudia is back home, Canada now.

We worked in a same English school in Daegu

for about 6months, sharing so many things, memories and ... ?

She called me, " Sejin-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~"

all the time in a class, on the phone and even on MSN.

She's such a funny woman!!

This afternoon, we've talked about our friends in Daegu and Jeju

and I just realized things have been changed somehow;

some of them got married, have or expect their babies,

some of them who were seperated, are now together

and some who were together, are now seperated

and working in different places.... and so on.

Here, I dedicate some photos to you, Claudia!!
Remember the crazy but unforgettable moments!!
Will you really come to Korea this summer?? :-)
We'll see if I'm also around here when you come, ok?

@ the pub on 7th Floor of YALE (L-R : Claudia, Kate)

: I heard Kate is in Czech Rep. teaching English. But not with Jamie anymore.

(L-R: Sinead, Jon, Jiyoung teacher)

: Our manager teacher, Jon... He said he would move to Seoul but they're still in Daegu and expecting a baby. Jiyoung teacher was such a nive woman I remember. Well, of course, they're not a couple.

(L-R : Jamie, Little Brian)

: Jamie is not with Kate any more I heard. Little Brian is always talkative as long as he drinks some beer. He's also a funny one, huh?

@ Commune (L-R: the owner, Raymond, Jon, Sinead)

: I sneaked the photos from Big Brian's blog. They're drinking Guiness! I mean Commune now has Guiness!! I saw this photo while I was in Qatar!! This Irish girl should be happy about it, huh?

@ Love Land in Jeju (L-R : Claudia, Migi), summer 2006.

: It was crazy night with crazy statues there but you guys liked them so much. :-)

@ My old house (L-R: Sinead, Migi)

: My dad is in the room at left. We had a big BBQ all together till late.

You went back to Jeju city with Nabil by the scooter. Crazy!

@ My old house (L-R : Mirrah, Hyeyeon, Youngwan, myself), March 2007

: the TOOLS! It was just before I left for Europe.

@ My old house (L-R: Adam, Mirrah, Hyeyeon, Peter, Youngwan)

: Adam's gone back home to Canada, Peter's coming in March to Korea, and Youngwan is in France with Nabil, expecting their baby in May but they're coming back to Jeju at the end of Feb.

@ Jongdal Beach (Sinead) , summer 2006.

: This poor Irish girl couldn't be under the sun without long sleeves shirts and pants and SPF50 sun block cream. It's hard to be white sometimes. Do you rememeber how you did? Putting on sun tan oil everywhere and lying down under the sun to get tanned nicely. I still vividly remember you're shouting it's not enough as it's redish rather than brownish. ;-)

@ Sinyang Beach (L-R: Sinead, Migi)

: There're horses grazing at the green field. Migi, who is a mother of a baby now, was frightened to get closer to him but the Irish girl, Sinead was so friendly.

@ Sinyang Beach (L-R: Myself, Sinead)

@ Seongsan Sunrise Peak (L-R: Migi, Myself)

: Lazy us, didn't go up to the top but just took photos in front of it. Well, it's bloody hot, then.

@Jongdal Beach (L-R: Myself, Hyeyeon, Peter, Andrea)

: Multinational friends. Peter from Denmark, Andrea from Italy met all together in this small island, Jeju. hah~

@ Jongdal Beach (L-R: Hyeyeon, Peter, Migi, Andrea)

: Poor Andrea couldn't have much time with his girlfriend, Hyesook as she was killing herself at work. All of us insisted her to quit the job. Yeah, now she's free and came back from Italy a week ago but going back in March again.

@ Darangshi Oreum, the sencondary volcanic cone ( L-R: Claudia, myself)

: It was your joke to climb up this cone but I took you in slippers and you were shouting and holding my wrist nearly to destroy my blood vein. You emphasized your slippers were good ones, NIKE to climb up there. Hooo~

@ Darangshi Oreum (L-R: Andrea, Sinead, Migi)

: Poor Andrea was with us more than with Hyesook. It was good fun, though. There's out big sister, Claudia speaking Italian, Spanish, French, English and Korean!

@ Darangshi Oreum (L-R: Sinead, myself, Andrea)

: We're still half drunk from the night before but still carried a big bottle of beer. There's no water but only beer on the top. ;-)

@ Pyoseon Beach (L-R; Myself, Sinead)

: You're in a different side of the island lying down on a beach to get tanned then.

@ Sinyang Beach (L-R: Migi, myself, Sinead)

: It was just a beautiful day with hot sun.

@ YALE English school with Honesty Class (middle school the 2nd grade)

: It was the last class for both of us. We're the home room teacher of several classes together. I can still hear your shouting in my ears.

@ DongseongRo with our co-workers

(L-R: don't remember the Korean teachers' name, Claudia, Big Brian, David, Little Brian, Kate, Jamie)

: It was a kind of your farewell party though we had another big one together before we left Daegu. Do you remember what happened with the little Brian? Oh, God... It was funny, my friend.

@ Boryeong Mud Festival (the new face : Raymond)

: It was the first outing with all. The festival was a little disappointing but still good fun. I poked your belly so many times on the highway with traffic jam... for a certain reason which I don't need to mention! ;-)

@ Jeju city near the horbor (L-R: Andrea, Sinead, Claudia-front / Hyesook, myself-back)

: Andrea finally met Hyesook at midnight waiting for the whole day. The sweet boy called her, 'Amore mio~' as soon as she arrived.

@ Cheonjeyeon Waterfall in Seogwipo city (L-R: Migi, myself, Sinead)

: It was tough to explore the whole waterfall area after whole night drinking hangover. However, of course, we made it! We went to see my cousin afterwards and went to the airport to fly back to Daegu.
