H.O.T. in the place to be.

It's a lazy Sunday, and I'm in the process of uploading a bunch of pics I've taken over the past year. Looking through my files I came across a set photos I had taken of my students' textbooks, as this past fall I had planned to do a post about them. I'll work a few in a little later, but I just wanted to share these two because they made me chuckle when I rediscovered them. I don't recall the book from whence they came---perhaps "ethics"---but they show a student giving a presentation in front of the class. "H.O.T." is carved on the front of the podium, in reference to "High-five Of Teenagers," a Korean boy-band popular at the turn of the century. There's another English word carved underneath it, but I can't make it out. Jjang (짱), perhaps?



The H.O.T. podium makes another appearance in the book, this time in front of a teacher. Click the photos for larger versions.
