well actually it's day 2 but day 1 was arriving on the plane and getting to the hotel.
We had a great day today! We started out the day at Ewha Womans University. Then we visited Ewha Middle School. We had a great meeting with the principal of Ewha Middle School and then headed to lunch. Dr. Oh was our host and came to the hotel to escort us to the University. He was so patient leading us through the subway and all around Seoul. Thank you Dr. Oh!
After Ewha we had a great lunch then headed over to the National Palace Museum of Korea.
The first thing we did at the Palace was take a cooking class. We made bibimbap. It is pretty much fried vegetables and rice but with lots of steps in between.
Our day ended with a birthday celebration for Misty! Happy Birthday Misty! The cake was from a bakery close to the hotel and it was divine!
Looks like you all had a blast cooking! The bibimbap sounds delicious! What did Karen eat? LOL
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note, I was just wondering what you all found to be the most challenging adjustment thus far (other than the obvious jet lag). I can only imagine what feelings our Korean students have when they step off the plan in Atlanta and are in our classrooms only a few days later. Getting a glimpse into your experiences may be able to help us understand and develop ways to make these students feel a bit more comfortable when they arrive.
Is the white building in the photograph the Middle School or the University? I noticed that there were several windows open. Do they have air conditioning? Is it common to have air conditioning in Korea? I imagine that is an adjustment as well.
So glad that you all made it safely, look like you're having fun, and have such gracious hosts! Love to you all!
