Music and Fish

This week I developed the world's worst cold (seriously) and on friday rejoiced as my co teacher let me off last lesson as she wanted to employ the kids in preparing the school hall for a classical concert the next day. I went to wallow in my ill state in my classroom. Then she confirmed that we were infact allowed to leave school an hour early! so; happy days!! and I went home to crawl into bed. Not being one to wallow and miss out I had a cat nap and then forced myself out of bed to meet Wendy and Fontaine near Wendy's place to go to VIPS, a steak and salad restaurant which offers a salad bar buffet thing that puts harvester to shame! Saturday I went to the concert at school, where my coteacher played an amazing solo and afterwards met Wenders, Fonts and Luke in myeongdong (shopping district with H&M and Zara). Here are some pics of the concert.

My grade 5 Co-teacher is the violinist to the left on the picture.

Einer kleiner nachtmusik (I think)

My grade 6 (and main) Co-teacher, obscured by the music stand...

Amazingly talented student playing the violin!

Another student, this time on the drums during Aladdin 'A whole new world' (far right of picture)

After the concert and shopping we went to Seoul fish market; Noryangjin. I'd been once before with my school. We thought we should look around the stalls and choose what fish we wanted and then we should take our purchases to one of the restaurants inside the market where they cook the stuff for a small fee. Turns out that the restaurant we went to totally fleeced us and we paid far too much! The fish was delicious though so perhaps we can just put it all down to experience...?
