So this blog goes out to all of you out there who are either teachers, have kids, or have small infantile siblings. I have noticed that since I've been living and working abroad I've gotten sicker on more occasions than normal. Taking into account my new diet and my new environment I wasn't too quick to point any fingers. However, after some investigating I am confident on whom to blame. It's because of my students!

Understand that children are not the most cleanliest of creatures. They like to wipe their hands and give you a Hi-five in the same motion and think nothing of it. Maybe it's because I am a germophobe but I honestly cringe every time a little kid sneeze's and asks me for a hug. UGH!! It makes me queasy just thinking about it.


As a result of this never ending waves of sickness, that my students pass off to me, I had to make a video about what had happened to me the other day while I was teaching class. It was a moment where all speculation of "I wonder if I'm sick" turned into "Yeah, I know I'm sick." And since I've been spending some quality time with my friends Chicken Noodle Soup, Vitamin C and The Bed I thought I would make a short video for ya!

While living and working abroad I have noticed that I've been getting sick at a higher rate that usual. This video is about kids and germs...enjoy!

On the up side, I have used this time to stay in contact more with family and friends. I also found an AWESOME new online radio streaming website. Since Pandora Radio does not work internationally I was distraught that my ability to find music of my particular tastes were nulled. Despite that small snag I discovered Last.fm, which for about 3 dollars a month you have unlimited access to music of any genre, without lame advertisements, and it will categorize your tracks in your profile. Now with this at my disposal I can't wait to get back to 100% so I can hit the streets of South Korea with some great new tracks!

Alright I'm off to bed. I have a long week of classes ahead of me and I want to at least try and get a little better. However when I am better I will be moving around in the outside world again and posting some interesting blogs and videos. As always, Thanks for reading, stay healthy and I miss ya much!

Joe - OUT!
