A New Month

January was a very busy month (almost traumatically so) with many many extra hours of teaching due to Children's Winter English Camp. That's right, kids in Canada go to camp to recreate, Korean kids go to camp to study. In any case, February's shaping up to be a little more relaxed. I've got a week of vacation time, as well as next week gives us 3 days off for Lunar New Year, or Seollal (설날) as it's known here. Phew!
I did manage to squeeze in a movie last week though, and it was unusual viewing. 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou' starring Bill Murray. This comes from proven director, Wes Anderson, whose previous films include the quirky but highly entertaining 'Rushmore' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums'. So what's with 'Life Aquatic' then? It certainly was quirky, but not necessarily in an amusing way. In fact, I'm fairly unsure what I think of the movie. Seems there were points being made concerning legacy (or lack there of) but that's about as far as I got. If you've seen this movie, I'd be more than interested in your 2 cents...
