The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: May 2010
http://taryninkorea.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Sunday, May 9, 2010. First graders are unreal adorable. I've only subbed for 1st grade a few times, but each time I come home with a pile of artwork resembling the above piece. Thursday, May 6, 2010. New K-drama with 이민호! I think I'm more obsessed with Korean pop culture now than I was when I lived there. Which stars Lee Minho of " Boys over Flowers. I'm not in Korea anymore, but I'm guessing it's big there considering its popularity on Mysoju.com. That the snazzy, albeit...

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: December 2010
http://taryninkorea.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Friday, December 3, 2010. It's that time again. The time has come yet again to make the age-old decision; stay abroad another year, or go home? I'm actually split three ways right now between moving home to Minnesota, moving to South America to teach (I've been fantasizing about living in a Spanish or Portuguese-speaking country for a while now) and staying at my current school. Because I work where I do and our school is so small there are endless opportunities to extend...

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: Good riddance, rainy season!
http://taryninkorea.blogspot.com/2010/11/good-riddance-rainy-season.html
The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Tuesday, November 23, 2010. Good riddance, rainy season! Upon our return from Bali, the rain stopped and "cold season" was upon us. As a Minnesotan, I've experienced blistering cold, sub-zero winters and was a bit skeptical, but it actually is. Cold right now. Granted I live in a poorly insulated bamboo hut, but as I'm writing this, I'm sitting at my computer wearing long sleeves, long pants, and fuzzy socks with a fleece blanket wrapped around me. Hope thailand is fun.

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: October 2010

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Written October 14, 2010). After a few days exploring Kuala Lumpur. We're flying to Bali and spending the first 4 days in Kuta. Which is on the coast. After that, we'll head up to Ubud. For a few days, which is up in the mountains and supposed to be the cultural heart of Bali. I liken it to Thailand's Chiang Mai, and Kuta to Phuket. Written October 3rd, 2010). Since moving abroad I've met a lot of vegetarians , like Ashley,. I knew that being a...

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: September 2010
http://taryninkorea.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. This past weekend I went to Bangkok, for no particular reason other than I just needed to get out of the village. The previous weekend, it rained all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday and we were cooped up inside the damp huts the whole time with shoddy internet service. I went a bit stir crazy. This weekend I wasn't going to leave fate in the hands of this cursed rainy season. Between Nana and Asoke BTS. Okay, so we actually do have D...

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: October Break Part I: Bangkok Music Marathon
http://taryninkorea.blogspot.com/2010/11/october-break-part-i-bangkok-music.html
The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Tuesday, November 23, 2010. October Break Part I: Bangkok Music Marathon. On our first day of vacation, we headed down to Bangkok for Bangkok Music Marathon. Like I said before, I hadn't really gotten into Thai rock yet. What I had heard, I found really repetitive and borderline cheesy at times. However, this is how I initially felt about K-pop, a genre which is now very near and dear to my heart :). Here are my favorite acts of the night:. Da" of Da Endorphine. There is ...

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: June 2010
http://taryninkorea.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Thursday, June 3, 2010. Quarter life crisis averted. When I am an old lady looking back at my life, I will probably laugh at how ridiculous I was at this moment, plauged with indecision and fear and spazzing about what to do with the next year or so of my life. That I love. I'm turning 27 in a few days, and I feel like I'm almost ready to be a "real" grown up and and settle down. Almost. Even though I know that's completely ridiculous. Anyway, after all the freaking out, ...

The Adventures of Taryn Teacher: March 2010
http://taryninkorea.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Taryn Teacher. Monday, March 15, 2010. Last year when I visited Thailand, I really wanted to go to 'Tiger Temple'. Near Bangkok, which is advertised as a "sanctuary" for orphaned tigers run by Buddhist monks. I ended up running out of time and skipping it, but that turned out to be okay. Friends who visited later said that they dope the tigers so they're calm and sedated and tourists can come and take pictures with them, which I don't really agree with. Here in Chiang Mai. Tiger Kingdom...
