"Teacher! Candy Day!"

In their infinite wisdom Koreans have created multiple Valentines/Candy days. Today was White Day aka the day boys give girls candy. I was showered with candy in every one of my classes. It was pretty awesome and a genius way to end the week.

Also today I experienced my first siren drill. I'm not sure if it is a practice air raid drill, nuclear drill or general alert system. But from what I understand there is a monthly drill in every Korean city that consists of a really loud droning siren that lasts app. 2 minutes. Traffic is supposed to stop and people are supposed to go inside. I was at work when it happened and could observe many stopped buses on the street below. It was kinda creepy and surreal and a definite reminder that I am very far from home.
