We met in another country and she still lives there, so I expected her to see the funny side in this. When I showed her this place in my town her serious reply was "Yes, it is a movie name." Apparently a Business Club named <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=464366&id=704941225&l=0aadc" rel="nofollow">Dumb and Dumber</a> (Babo and more Babo) is normal here ;) My girlfriend happens to be Korean.

Today most English hagwons in town were closed due to the yearly meeting of directors. Those that are accredited are supposed to attend these meetings. It was strange to see kids out and about acting like kids instead of in the English institutes; however, they clammed up around me because their friends were around. I do know that a few kids were upset that they did have to go to math and musical instrument hagwons. I lucked out.
