Chuseok

Here in Korea they celebrate Chuseok which is very similar to our Thanksgiving. Chuseok is a very important holiday and it last for three days which is great becasue it means you get three days off of work. Just before the break we had a Chuseok party for the students and played all sorts of traditional games. Here are some pictures of the students dressed in their traditional Hanbok and enjoying in some traditional festivities. It was a joys day and the kids looked absolutely adorable. I think I might need to invest in a Hanbok before I return home.

Ashley's Visit

In the beginning of summer one of Alison's friends from her education program came out for her summer vacation. Ashley was the first of our three visitors to come to Seoul and it was a blast having her here. Ashley is a great friend and teacher back in Seattle and it was good to hear her insight. She shared with me several pieces of good advice and I continue to put her suggestions into practice. Here are a few pictures of the things we did while she was here.
