Teachers Day

May 15 is Teachers Day in Korea. My university had the day off and honestly I think that is the best way to celebrate. I went out for lunch at an Indian Restaurant downtown and had some of the best curry I’ve had in ages. Anyhow you should watch the video below. The teacher, Joe McPherson, that put this together really spent alot of time. I know something about making videos and getting those FX right is more work than I’m willing to do.

There really are teachers who put in the extra effort out there. Hat Tip to The Marmot’s Hole.

It looked fun.  I wonder who named “Esther”, though.  According the the baby Name Voyager, that name peaked in 1901!
