Chusok Hanbok

On Wednesday, my kids wore Hanboks to school. Since it is Chusok, they were learning more about the traditions of Korea: greetings, bows, acceptance of items, etc. They were so cute and adorable all dressed up, in many different colors and types of hanboks. I ran home to get my camera but by this time, they had changed out of their hanboks for lunch so as to not to get them dirty.

This week has been a busy week with report cards and lesson planning and the like. But most of all, it has been busy because two new foreign teachers came to our school. So we have been going out to supper, showing them around the area, orientation at school and the like. Somehow we manged to fit a beer or two in there. It was great! Jocelyn is from Canada and Kristina is from the states. They are both great and really cool. And now I have a neighbour!

Chosuk is coming up next week. And with the exception of Monday, we have the week off. I am looking forward to having some time to do nothing. I am making plans with some poeple that I met on the North Korea trip and a few other teachers around here. We are getting together to do some things around Seoul. I am thinking about getting a new camera, so I can post some better pics. Wish me luck!
