When teaching in Korea you have to be flexible. Teaching in Korea is rewarding and fun. However, you have to be prepared for continual surprises. I learnt this on my first day.
Surprise volleyball practice!
I had no trainers or sportswear. Nevermind!
I kicked off my shoes and played in my dress and bare feet. My new nickname? Naked foot diva. Hopefully, they hadn’t looked too close. I’d lost both my little toe nails on Mount Rinjani in Indonesia only a few weeks before.
By the start of the second week, I had played volleyball three times. It was like I just couldn’t get enough – erm, wait! I had badly bruised my unsuspecting volleyball virgin hands but I kept on playing.
Always thinking, why play this painful sport?
Let it end!
Please let the pain end!
