Today both of us went out to eat as a sort of "farewell" outing - I with my 10 and 11am classes, and Ali with her coworkers. Out of pure coincidence, we ended up going to the exact same pizza restaurant! Mr. Pizza has some pretty good pizza as well as a salad bar and yogurt bar. After Ali finished eating with her coworkers, and they left, she came and joined our table while we ate.
I also presented awards at that time - for each class we give out an award for the top student based on grades, also if someone has perfect attendance, they get an award. The top student receives a free textbook for the next level of class, and for perfect attendance a 20,000
won voucher is awarded toward the next level tuition (about $20).
In my 10 am class, Jennifer got both awards, and in my 11 am class Daisy was the top student, with no one achieving perfect attendance. Of course, they were duly excited; in fact, Daisy was actually surprised she had passed!
All in all it was a fun time, even though a pretty small percentage of my students showed up that day.

| We had never seen an intersection with so many crosswalks before, so Ali took a picture of it. It has all the usual ones across each street, as well as two diagonal ones that cut right across the middle of the intersection. Traffic comes to a complete standstill for the use of these walks. |

Very nice to read about and see about.
