I became a multi-millionaire this weekend.
I bought an AM/FM/Cassette Radio.
And a broom.
Don't worry mom! That new house you've always been dreaming of will be coming soon!
Oh, did I mention that my millions are in South Korean won? Presently, 1 US dollar is worth ~1184 won. So a million won is actually worth less than $1000.
Uh...on second thought, that house might be a while mom! Sorry!
Actually, on a somewhat related note, I showed my 5th and 6th graders some pictures of my parent's house this week. It's a fairly standard sized two-story house. It's quite old (think early 20th century), but it's well built and I do think it's a fine house. But by Korean standards, it's VERY big. So all of my students think I'm rich now...
If only they knew the truth...

When did you get reimbursed for the flight over?
I think it was the same day as my first payday (about a month after I arrived). However, my paycheck came from my school, whereas the flight reimbursement came from the national EPIK office.
