Okay, let's say that lately I have been very lazy in the upkeep of this blog. I am working much these days, with an extra added Saturday class, in addition to my day and evening classes. But I am enjoying it all, as busy as it sometimes can get.
Last week, my kids and I along with a few more teachers went on a field trip to a museum. It was the first time I went on a field trip with my new kids and it was a lot of fun. First the kids got to make thier own tshirts by painting pictures on them. I was dying to make my own as well, but we had to help our kids! After running around at lunch, we took in a few in a few exhibits at the museum, a cartoon and then it was a sleepy bus ride back to school.
During the first weekend of May, Meryl and I went hiking in Gangcheon, which is on the east coast. I nearly slept in and almost missed my bus (always a first)! The hike started off easy enough and then slowly got a little more difficult, to the point that we were singing songs to motivate each other to the next set of steep stairs. But it was well worth it though! That night we ate some awesome galbi and drank a few beer before retiring to bed. The next day, we took in the butterfly festival in Hampyeong. So many butterflies were free flying in a greenhouse and would pitch on your shouler, or even your finger! We also ate some soy beans and barley which were smoked in a grass fire. This is what the soldiers ate as a snack during the Korean war.
The last week of April, Hannah and Collen and I took in the Hi Seoul Festival, which was used to promote the city of Seoul. We saw a reenactment at City Hall and also a BBoy (break dancing) competition. While there, we could also write our wishes on a ribbon and they would fly over Seoul at the end of the competition.
And here also is a cat that I was looking after for a friend for a weekend.
