books

A bookshop keeper couple from the second-hand bookshop quarter in Busan

We were already getting worried because the 40 kilos of books we sent before leaving Korea surface mail already on January 4 had not arrived. Today the two parcels came - all the way to my office, which is very rare indeed considering the level and price of services in this country. It pays to have such parcels delivered to the office address instead of home; my experience is that customs officials let parcels to my university address through, while things addressed to home need to be checked.

I don't think I've ever been on such an indiscriminate book shopping spree like when I was there, and that has shown in my card bills. I asked for tips about books worth buying from here and there, and didn't think much. In Seoul, we stayed in a yeogwan only one block away from Kyobo bookstore.

Now, I should only find somewhere the time to read all that.

시간강사의 고민

인기관목이라 할 수 없는 강의를 하는 나같은 시간강사는 강의가 시작하기 전에 항상 학생들이 들으러 올까 하는 고민이 있다. 사람들이 안 왔기 때문에 강의가 중단된 적은 한 번밖에 없지만 늘 처음으로 강단에 올라가기 전에 걱정이 있다고 부인할 수가 없다. 이번에는 잘 됐다: 아홉-열 명이 나왔다. 강단에서 서기 부끄럽지도 않고 글을 고치느라 너무 바쁘지도 않을 정도다. 비록 박사논문 원고를 책으로 만드는 아주 바쁜 일도 해야 하겠지만 나로서는 만족스러운 강의가 될 것 같아.
