One and a half year has passed since I left Seoul with my two kids.
So I am in the state of excitement in the fact that I am going to Korea for two months as soon as I finish this quarter.
On the other hand, as after I go to Korea, I have plan to deal with some part of work in my language institute, I am a little worried about coming back again after two months. Because according to my character, if I did not know about the situation well, I could ignore it, but if I came to know it, it would seem hard for me to leave Seoul ignoring it with a lot of work undone.
Half happy, half worry...

Episode #9 - 'Respect' Culture
My elder girl prepared the 'magic show' for Talent show in her elementary school last year when she was in the third grade.
Honestly, I did not want her to prepare the magic for the talent show. Because I thought that she was better at dancing or playing the piano than doing magic. It was only two months that she had taken magic class when she was in Korea. In addition, it was hard for me to help her do well in doing magic,which I didn't know, as I was busy at that time.
In the end, she did magic on Talent show.
The result was big failure....
The background music stopped while my girl was performing magic, she was so embarrassed that she forgot the next magic, and she managed to end her magic, crying.
Unexpectedly, however, the audience gave her a big hand and after she came down back to my seat, people next to me praised her. If she had been in Korea, she could have been teased by her friends.
I felt and learnt 'respect' culture in America.
