have a question about your institute. I notice it is in Gangnam. Do they run summer programs at all - SAT training or equivalent?

I was in the book store today and saw a copy of Media Control.. It is half the size of a real book and about 90pages. This is a pamphlet. You should have been honest and described it as such.

Hey, I got your books today and sent mine out this morning. Just moved to this area and had trouble locating a post office so it took a day longer. I didn't mean to deceive you about Media Control. In my original trade offer I suggested 5 books for 4 b/c 2 of the Chomskys are quite short, and I figured you probably had looked something up about the books and just were interested in Media Control. Again, I'm sorry, no bad intentions on my part. I can send you the other shorter Chomsky book (Lies and Democracy) if you want.

no worries... Usually, it's a give what you get kind of thing - 3 for 3.

More importantly - does your school run summer SAT camps?? I'm looking to get into one.

We do SAT stuff, but I know almost nothing about it; I started the job this week. I know that my school does SAT prep, and that we have a double-length summer session (10 weeks). There is a website: www.andyprep.com, although I think its all in Korean. If you go to the website there is a number for the school, so you can call and ask specific questions. Thanks for being cool about the exchange...I feel bad about it in retrospect. If you ever want to trade some more books let me know...I have a lot I'm looking to trade/get ride of, both of the kind we exchanged and lots of fiction as well. If you're ever in Seoul drop me a line and we can meet for a drink. My email: [email protected]

the SAT summer camps in gangnam pay shit loads. Don't let them try to get you to do them as part of your regular contract. Summer camps start at 50000/hour.

There is a book exchange in itaewon. If you search messages in dave's esl cafe - type "book exhange", you will see the name of the bar. I live in itaewon but I just moved here and don't have many friends.

If you feel like partying come my way.

my number is 010 3163 1173

I know the great bars in hongdae where the korean ladies like the white dudes.
