Dinner

I have nothing to really write about tonight, so I will talk about dinner.


As you all know, my wife cant cook. The woman could ruin a bowl of cold cereal. Seriously, she has.

I decided to make a dinner of beans and rice, and spicy mushrooms and onions.



Here is what it looked like when it was finished.


It was quite tasty. After dinner I made popcorn and we watched "Pirates of the Caribbean". I just recently figured out how to play a movie on my notebook, and output it to our huge flat screen TV the school provided. It sure as shit beats having all five of us huddle around a laptop, trying to watch anything.

We spent eight hours last week downloading the movie from the interweb, but when we played it, it was in Russian, with thai subtitles. Luckily I noticed that they had an Englishee copy at the foreign library. It is located in the foreign quarter by the subway station. They have a small selection of englishee language books and DVDs.

Bringing home the benjamins

So as you all know, my wife is making an extra 100,000 won a month more than me now. She is getting the money because her school (about a 10 minute walk from mine) is zoned industrial by the administration, and according to her school, she is entitled to more cash and vacation time for it.

I asked the English head teacher to look into it and she called the administration office, and the administration office, and they told her "No fucking way you are paying that fucking foreigner a penny more!" more or less. So now my wife is the bigger breadwinner for the family, and of course this is only feeding the fire of her already enormous fucking ego.

A while back, the head of the English dept. told me that there would be a possibility of a couple extra class hours for the new school year, and wanted to know if I would be interested. I said sure, thinking the extra pay for one or two classes a week would be nice. With that extra money, I might be able to at least tie with my wife for the title of breadwinner, if not barely surpass her.

Today she told me that there would be 8 extra classes a week. She also said that she would negotiate for me to get paid an extra 5,000 won an hour, so it would match what other teachers get. Right now I finish work at 4:30, but since my normal classes are over at 3pm, with the extra 2 hours I will be finishing at 5pm. So now I am looking at earning up to an extra 200,000 won a week and leaving work just 45 minutes later than I normally do.

I told my wife the great news, and how do you think she reacted?

She was of course, mad. I could tell her I won the lottery and she would probably be angry about it. She is upset because she thinks her dinner will be postponed 4 nights a week (she cant cook, seriously the woman could burn a bowl of cold cereal). She does not care that with extra money, we will not need to stay in Korea (which she now hates with a passion) as long. She does not care that I will only get home 20-30 minutes after she does.

Why?

Its because I will be making more money than her, again. She does not like that one little bit. She would rather work here another whole year, enduring all the annoyances and cold weather than leave after one contract. Not if that means me making more money than her, and more importantly if her dinner is a little later than she is use to.

Tired, so very tired

I had a big day today. First I walked to the ATM to get money so we could go to the doctor, dentist, dinner and get groceries. Then I made Kimchi.
Then I did my daily punishment with the blond dominatrix known as Zuzana.

Here is the link if you are interested.


I am at home on vacation right now, so I actually have to do more work than when I am "working". I have to feed, take care of, punish and wrangle two little kids now. I also have to clean, work out, shop and on top of all that go take them to the doctor and dentist.

First we had to brave the public transportation system, and travel about 40 minutes to get to the general area of the hospital. I say general area, because we really had no Idea where the fucking thing was, but that's how we roll. Maps, address, and planning is for pussies.

Amazingly we found the hospital right off the bat. My wife and I saw a physician for various aches and pains, she got her knee x-rayed. It cost 140,000 won (roughly $140) we thought it would be cheaper though. I got about a dozen x-rays for my knees, lower back, shoulders, knees again, shoulders again, and lower back again. It cost 70,000 won. I paid half as much to have 4xs more x rays. ?????

Then we went to the dentist. The kids each had two cavities. Back home it was costing us $160 a cavity without insurance. Each filling cost $100. Again, from what we have heard we thought it would cost less.

With the cleanings our bill came out at 560,000 won. Between the doctor and dentist we dropped almost 800,000 won. I think we have getting fucked by health care professionals. Still x-rays alone back in the US are usuall $140 a pop or so, the ones I got today would have been well over a grand by themselves, since the x-ray technician (who did not go behind a lead wall when he took the x-rays, by the way) took at least four shots for each body region.

Then we went to dinner. That only cost 28,000 for all four of us, and it was good. It was a floor sitting place, which I fucking hate, but luckily we were next to a wall, which I could lean against. My legs still fell asleep there, and when we were done, I ambled out like a drunken sailor, but the food was great, so that is all that really maters.

It was another of the Loving hut locations, each one is completely different. In the good ole USA if something is a chain, each place is virtually identical. We have been to three different places here, and the only thing they have in common is they all have wide screen TVs blaring vegan propaganda non-stop. Which we like, it makes us feel superior to the lesser meat eater. Forgive them supreme master, they know not what they do...

Now we are back home, and I am ready to just go to sleep. But my wife wants to watch a show, and she will probably try to rape me again at some point. Such is life.
