Bernard and Charlene leave MapleBear, Suwon

Yes, blog readers. Bernard has left MapleBear; he made it! Can you believe it? He broke on through the kim chi kiddie prison and is a free man! He's home in Canada on vacation and will meet up with Charlene somewhere in D.C. Hopefully he pays a visit to the White House, tours D.C. and eats some good American food before leaving for another year tour of Korea! I guess he's a masochist; he must really like teaching ESL! This time, however, he will be in a middle school and will earn summer's off. If you're going to teach in Korea, work for the public school system like Bernard. The pay is great, the summers are off and the kids are usually better behaved. He will have to ride out this shitty economy and he'll do it in Korea! Good for him!
