Interesting Students

While looking through some old pictures taken over 20 years ago with my first digital camera I came across a few interesting student pictures.

The wife of one of the students had to work and he was not able to find child care, so it was agreed that he could bring his two young ones to the course. This was my youngest ever student.

It was an interesting day of class.

Some good memories.

Toronto Korean Meal Memory

Tonight I ran across some pictures from a trip to Toronto almost 10 years ago.

My friend John took me to visit Chinatown and the area around the Ontario College of Art.

Toronto, sightseeing, downtown, friendsTwo of his kids went along with us as we saw the sights. It is interesting to see what they looked like 10 years ago. They are now grown up.

Toronto, korean food, cuisineThat evening we dined at a Korean Restaurant. This was 10 years ago, and I checked to see if I could find exactly where it was, and it is no longer open. Therefore, don’t try and find it to eat there 🙂

I am now hungry for Korean food.
