ENT visit and Korean conversation

Monday, after nearly passing out in the shower, I decided to visit the ENT (ear, nose and throat doctor). I've had pressure in my ears, particularly my right ear. This has caused me to be dizzy and at times unable to keep my balance. It was a traumatic visit but I lived to tell about it. If you would like to see the video's I made, check out the Flicr page on the right of the blog.

Today I met with the ladies who desire to teach me Korean and for me to help them with their English conversation. This week wasn't as exhausting as our first visit. It was actually a lot of fun.

We talked about music we enjoy. Michael Jackson was a favorite of theirs--we sang some Beat It together. We also sang one of my favorites, Piano Man by Billy Joel. It was awesome, me and three Korean ladies, "sing us a song, you're the piano man, sing us a song tonight . . ." we were laughing and singing along with one another--another moment when the language barrier is hurdled--through music. Thankful.

My lesson today was to learn a Korean Children's song. I'm posting a video for your entertainment. I'm a slow learner. Very slow. But they cheered me on and told me that my bad singing was "good" and we laughed . . . a lot. (video is on flicr)
