School Festival and Mail!

I was very happy to get my first letter while in Korea today! It was a save the date for Emily's wedding! Fortunately, I think I might actually be able to attend. It's next August during our summer vacation. If I stay on for another year, that will be about the time when I will be coming home for a visit. If we decide not to stay, I'll be coming how around that time anyway. So really fantastic news! :) Congratulations, Em! She said the postage to mail a letter wasn't much worse than mailing from Canada to the US either, so that's good knowledge to have. Send me letter everyone!!!


For the last few days, students have been setting up their artwork all over the school. Today, there was a sort of festival where parents could come see the art. Let me tell you, these students are so talented! The artwork was beautiful, and I was really impressed. It was nice to have a bit of color to look at all over the school also, as opposed to the usual plain building. I wanted to share a few of the photos I took of the art. If you click the picture, you can see a larger version.

Today was also really cool because the home economics class made hamburgers and all the teachers got one! They were actually really good. Kudos kids! Keep that food coming. Also, I was asked to edit the students' articles for the English school newspaper.  They are interesting to say the least. Some part aren't that bad, but other parts you can tell that a student tried to use Google Translate. Oh well. Nothing too good to mention on that front yet. I'll keep you posted. I wrote an article about myself for the newspaper, so I'm excited to see the final product when it comes out.
