Korea’s first real snow of the year today. My main concern was realising my boots have no grip and almost decking it and embarrassing myself, Alex’s main concern was ‘it’s hard to see when we’re flying the helicopter’. Very different worlds

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

Brought Irn Bru (original recipe) to the bar for all my friends to try and the best I got was ‘tastes like my are teeth rotting’. That’s partly the point!

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

@KieranHD I’ll give that a go! It’s been good for learning the alphabet but it’s not great for conversion

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

I just want to be able to understand basic directions

The baby students are getting a bit Stockholm syndrome with the birthday cards to each other

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

My favourite thing about korea is all sports stadiums have 7/11s inside where you can buy £2 cans of beer and you can bring in what you like. Can’t get that in parkhead

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

@mynameislouise Haha I don’t understand it! He keeps saying it’s because they’re the same but they’re quite clearly not??

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

Alex keeps calling pasta ‘noodles’ and it’s really making me think about reinstating my no going out with Americans rule

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

@fionacallaghan_ Yes! American bf also couldn’t believe we had to do a joke or something and not just get sweets for turning up at someone’s door

Finally cold enough to wear jeans in Seoul so in about two weeks it’ll be back to surgical face masks and ski gear

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

I’ve been in my flat for over a year and thought my neighbour was just really noisy at the weekends. My boyfriend pointed out today he’s only noisy when I’m home drunk and playing ABBA. Turns out I’m the annoying noisy neighbour

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

After the storm made her miss her original flight my mums on the way to Korea! My class have already decided she has to be called ‘cat teacher mum teacher’ when she sees them because Marie isn’t enough for them

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

@British_Airways Hi my mum is travelling from Glasgow to London (flight BA 1477) Heathrow then on to Seoul (flight BA17) to visit me. However, her flight from Glasgow was delayed and I don’t think she’ll have enough connecting time. Is there anything she can do? Thank you!

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

Offered an old woman on the subway my seat, which she took, then told me to wear more clothes and actually pulled my top to cover me more. I am fucking fuming but also bad at Korean so all I managed was to tell her I don’t like her

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

@oh_nicola Thank you Nicola!!

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

My very American boyfriend, who has no idea about football, got me a Celtic scarf for my birthday because ‘you yell about it a lot’. Wee angel

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

@mynameislouise Thank you! Still loving korea, especially since it’s stopped being a sweaty hellhole finally!

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

@bannedaccount I’m very much looking forward to my walk to work in the slightly downgraded gale force winds

[Cat @cat_carrigan]

Two emergency warnings, all public schools closing because there’s a typhoon hitting Seoul tonight...so I’m allowed to come into work an hour later than usual. Great, thanks 🙃
