Apr. 25 - Apr. 29: Fire Safety

This week's lesson: Fire Safety. Good to know after already dealing with a fire. When the Korean teachers informed us that Thursday's field trip would be a "Fire Drill," I was ecstatic to learn exactly how we should leave the building in the event of a fire. At any rate, I was glad to have a practice in case, God forbid, lightning decided to hit twice.

However, Fire Drill it was not. Instead, we went to the Fire Station for a video and a mini look-see of the fire trucks. In my opinion, it was a fantastic waste of time. Perhaps I am a wee bit bitter towards the men in the black and yellow uniforms here in Korea...the same fellows who sat, feet dangling, on the backs of their trucks, mouths agape, watching smoke pouring out of the windows of our building while we poor innocents were struggling for our next and possibly final breaths??!!! Okay, maybe I am exaggerating just a bit. Touring a fire station is all well and good, but when I asked if we were going to conduct our own fire drill at the school, all I received were stares of bewilderment.

The rest of the week was fantastic, of course. This warm spring weather has really made me one happy lady!
