Buddha's Birthday

5.21.07

Buddha's birthday is coming up this thursday and we managed to make the oversized parade they have every year last Sunday. There were lots of things to see, including this abandoned balloon animal. It was a day of wandering around the city hall area of Seoul and even sitting in one of the few areas where the city has actual grass. Pictures on Flickr.com if you're interested....

2nd Retreat

5.6.07

We took another school employee retreat this weekend to Nami Island. It was beautiful, but extremely crowded seeing as we went on a holiday weekend. The trip would've been a little better, I think if we'd stayed overnight like the last one. Everyone drinks a bit and the Korean teachers seem to loosen up a bit and everyone gets closer. Because of a few Foreign teachers' complaining about having to go we made it only one day.

It was still fun, but it could've been a better, more bonding experience. In the picture is Jay. He's holding a teacher named Sally's baby boy. Jay's dream is to travel to the states and see a baseball game in every major league park. Not a bad dream....
