Sneaking out is for lovers. Skipping class is probably for lovers, too.

It's student-teacher season in school now, and there's a new group a few times a year. With the exception of one, who actually had the decency to speak to and be friendly with me, the others have . . . well, whatever the opposite of "given me hope for the future of English in Suncheon" is. Now, as I'll explain a little more after my contract is up, my one school is kind of ghetto, so maybe the culture there has something to do with it, but still, the combination of their poor English ability, their shitty attitude toward me, and their no-showing my classes has been pretty discouraging.

Anyway, they come from Suncheon National University, and I was reminded yesterday that they have a website for their English Education Department. I wanted to learn a little more about the English-language plays they put on once in a while, but was distracted---not like that---by the young woman in the picture. I was going to say that "Sneaking out is for lovers" might not be the kind of message they'd like to be sending, but they probably don't care.



She looks more like a "can I borrow a cup of robots?" kind of girl to me.


I took this at an E-Mart in Gwangju, but have seen them in Suncheon as well.

I'd be curious to see the hit count for that page now that you've plastered that girls face and other parts up for us to contemplate. I for one clicked the link immediately hoping SunCheon natty was much sexier than I expected.
Have you considered telling your student leachers that they are a disappointment compared to the girl the website is selling?
