Would You Like a Cuppa Tea?

Last week Lime gave me a couple of Korean corn teas to taste so if you’re reading this Lime, 감사합니다 (thank you). (^_^) When I was young I always wanted to be a food critic because of my love for food. (^_^) For this reason I have decided to write a review in this post.

The first corn tea I tasted was made by ‘Dong Suh Minsok Tea.’
Taste: I was expecting the tea to taste sweet because I imagined it would taste like sweet corn. The strength of the corn tasted perfect because it’s neither too strong nor mild.
Smell: I can only breathe through one nostril therefore I could only sense a light corn smell. In reality the smell may differ for someone who can breathe through two nostrils, so feel free to mistrust my sense of smell. (^_^')
Appearance: The colour of the tea is a pale yellow colour. I was suppose to take a photo of the tea when it brewed but I completely forgot as I was busy watching ‘The Office’ whilst waiting for the tea to cool down. (^_^')

The second tea I tasted is made by ‘???’ (?_?) I have no idea how to read Korean therefore I do not have the ability to translate. (^_^')
Taste: The taste is slightly similar to the first corn tea except that it tasted more bland.
Smell: As you can already guess, judging the smell for me was difficult therefore I found that the smell was very similar to the first corn tea.
Appearance: No need to guess the colour of the tea as it's also a pale yellow colour. (^_^)

Overall, I prefer the first corn tea because the taste was much better so go ahead and order a years supply worth. \(^o^)/

White Day

Yesterday was ‘White Day’ in South Korea; a day where males present gifts to females as a social obligation or expression of love. I have two Korean friends living in London so as a token of friendship I brought them both a box of white chocolates. (>^^)> <(^^<) To express my creativity, I thought of an idea for the packaging. On Friday, I went to buy the chocolates and after browsing around a few shops, a dilemma occurred because I had the option of purchasing gift wrapped chocolates. (?_?) After debating with myself for 30 seconds, I decided to buy unwrapped chocolates, which I regret because it took a shocking 2 hours to package. (O_O) In the future I think I’ll save myself the trouble by paying my sister to wrap gifts for me. (^_^)


I met up with Rose yesterday and gave her the gift but she was jokingly not happy with the packaging, as she much preferred the packaging of Lime's gift. (._.) If you look carefully at the photo, the top of Rose’s gift is wrapped very unprofessionally. (-_-¤) To be honest, I actually notice this when I finished wrapping her gift, but I was too tired to start again and hoped she wouldn’t notice. (-_-)zzZ I guess only the chocolates might save my reputation as a bad wrapper. (^_^)

Not Under Construction

I left this blog under construction for over a month so today I've finally decided to hit the switch and write my first post. \(^o^)/ Back in January, I got an ESL (English Second Language) teaching job in South Korea. In order to get the job I needed to have a university degree and do these following:

• send a curriculum vital with a photo
• pass the phone interview
• pass the English test by writing an essay from a selection of 5 questions
  

I always wondered if anyone managed to get the job by sending a fake photo, or paid anyone to do their essay and phone interview. (?_?) Obviously, I don’t plan on asking the recruitment department so I guess I’ll never know. (-_-)


Once I got the job, I had to choose a city to work in and my choice was either Seoul or Busan. A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from the head of recruitment, informing me that the positions in Seoul and Busan are full. This means that I have to either wait or choose an alternative city. I decided to wait because of these following reasons:

• I’m too lazy to research on an alternative city
• I really want to work in Seoul, which is my first choice (^_^)
• I barely speak any Korean so my Korean friend is teaching me, but my brain is always switched off whenever I meet her (-_-;)
  

Since I have no idea when I’ll go to South Korea, I might as well continue learning Korean and finish off my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course. Hopefully, I’ll feel fully prepared to go to South Korea when the time comes, so good luck to me. (^_^)
