Alice's Birthday

Mmmm... CAKE!
Her cake was actually pretty good compared to most Korean cakes!

A New Student!

Last week we got a new student in A-Room. Her name is Christina, and she will only be in A-Room for two weeks. She is from America, and visiting Korean family for a few months. She cried the first two days of class, but now is so happy now!

Cooking Class: "Red-Bean Ice"






For cooking class this month we made red bean ice. It's shaved ice with red beans, milk, candies, cereal, and all kinds of things. I thought it was really sweet, but the kids loved it.

Show and Tell


This week was "Summer Activity" for show and tell. Peter brought in a life vest, goggles, swimsuit and swim cap (all kids where them here). Look at his cheeks <3>


Jack forgot show and tell, so I gave him my sunglasses. Each student, obviously, had to try them on too. We spent 15 minutes modeling Megan Teacher's sunglasses.

Cooking Class #3







This week we made rice balls for cooking class. So darn cute!

Little Dragon

Last week we went to see the "Little Dragon" musical in English. The kids loved it, and have been singing the songs in class every since. They are hysterical. It is hard to believe I will be leaving them in 4 short months :(
Group shot at the theater. Notice the yawning.....it was a very LONG play for 5 year olds.



My kids love the songs from the play. Here they are singing "The Collector" song.

Terrence's Darangee Village Trip

Last weekend I went to Darangee Village on Namhae Island of the south coast of Korea. It was fantastic. Below are photos that I took of my weekend. It was an experience I will never forget.





The octopus that I caught with my bare hands after the tide went out!!!

Below is the last picture I have of my pet octopus.... I had already eaten half it raw and wriggling......

Lunch was all hand caught in a fish trap in a near by cove. We where in knee deep water grabbing decent sized mackerel right out of the water. You had the option of eating it raw or grilled. I did both. Best fish I have ever had.







I was not only able to stay with a Korean host family in their small village home but also they fed me a traditional Korean breakfast. I do not have a picture of breakfast but it was Fish and Korean side dishes, one out of the 14 dishes on the breakfast table was what I consider breakfast food, it was something resembling an omletish thing. With that said I still found it delicious.

Below are pictures of the rice fields that I was able to plow with an ox and then plant with the villagers.
