Halfway!

Well, we are officially halfway through the month, and the kids have showed clear signs of improvement in their English skills, mostly in their verbal skills. I also got a gift from one of my students: mittens that look like bear gloves. I love them!

Today we celebrated Halloween to show the Korean kids what this western holiday is all about. They loved the candy, the extra games, and the costumes of course. It was interesting having Halloween in January; I've never realized how much of the Halloween spirit is in fall. Mid-Winter is just different. But all in all today was an energetic day at the Delicious English Camp.

I just found out that the other S. Korea camp was set to be in Busan, Korea which is the port to all the ferries to Japan! I was excited about that, because I'm thinking I'd love to do this again (for just a month) and Busan would be the perfect place to see more of Asia. From where we are here in Young-in, it's an hour to Seoul, and 3 to Busan, so there are no weekend ferry trips. But I could see that happening in a port city like Busan, with ferries to China and Japan.

I just bought a pint of strawberries for $8. I did it because they looked amazing and I'm really missing some tastes from home, although I'm also beginning to enjoy kimchee quite a bit. We have it with almost every meal in school.
