There goes Mike...

Mike will be leaving soon and I know the whole staff will miss him. I certainly will. The kids will be so sad as well. Every kid seems to know and love Mike Teacher. He is a smart guy, hard worker and extremely fun. He's typically the one who calls everyone to get the evening started. He's been teaching at Wonderland for a year and two months and now is moving on. As I mentioned before, he can speak Korean and Japanese very, very well. Although he does use the improper tense of "see" from time to time. I make sure to correct him and be an obnoxious as possible, but he's from Chicago so what can you say?





He has been in and out of Asia his whole life and now is in the process of getting a job here. He's interviewed with one place and is waiting to hear from them. He'll get a job here and still be around, but he will be living and working like a Korean business man. Long hours, tons of work and very little free time awaits him. It will not be the same as being a teacher here. We have tons of free time, very little pressure and have the ability to stay out late and get up early.





The above picture is a rare sight. This usually is what Dave does after an hour of drinking, but I felt like I should post this picture. I'm sure he won't be too thrilled to see this, but hey, it's all good clean fun. So, it's not like the fun will subside, but his presence and attitude will be missed. Luckily, Dave is returning in a couple weeks, so that will nice.

Cheers Mike...

That is a nice tribute to Mike. Hopefully he will still be available to you guys and not too caught up in the stringent Asian work ethic.

Love the mustache...you devils, you.
