i didn't think you could get a vaccination if you were older than 20? It usually doesn't work very well in adults.
prevention cure and all that |

Go fishing and "hunting". Watch some of your friends drop off and "die" (pull a runner) along the trail. And yes, battle diseases along the way that you thought belonged back in the 1840s- Tuberculosis, Diphtheria, Dysentery, and more all as you battle extreme weather conditions. |

And instead of Indian attacks, occasionally an old Korean man will bump into someone in your group, decide he was the victim, and come after you with the cops.
Seriously though, Oregon Trail was a great game. I think my students need to try it. |

"hunting"- Are you going to bring home a 100 lb. doe? Or end up with a 250 lb. buffalo of a girl. Or strike out and have nothing but your 6 oz. squirrel to play with? Careful about firing off too many shots, lest an ajosshi gores you.
Your pace? Steady, strenuous, or grueling amounts of soju.
Rations? Meager kimbap, filling pizza and chicken, generous foreign restaurants.
River? Ford ahead and over your coteacher, float around her, or bribe her with chocolates and coffees and cross on the bridge.
And the final challenge, rafting down the Columbia- Navigate a crowded Korean area and look out for the bumpy rocks.

Yeah, I had an old copy lying around and used it with my gifted elementary students. They loved it. |

As a teacher in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, TB was still so common that anyone coming into contact with the kids (teachers, subs, lunch ladies, bus drivers) had to get screened, and carry a card to demonstrate that we had been tested and the results were negative. Yes, I carried a card stating I was Tb-free in 1991...and got tested twice a year (just the skin test).
Then again, I still have my contract from Texas in 1992, with an intact Moral Turpitude clause, so some stuff that we think of as relegated to the past may still be up and around today.... |
