MUDFEST!

We lost our disposable camera on the beach, so I stole these pics from another friend that was with us. The Mudfest is a celebration of mud. The mud in Korea is supposed to be very good for you skin, so for ten days Koreans celebrate mud. It’s basically a huge party on the beach and everyone is covered in mud. We had great weather and a sensational time.

Out for a Bike Ride

I’ve been a bit lazy on making posts lately, but I will try to keep up with it better. Everything is still going well. We’ve had some good weather lately and I have been very active. There was a holiday on Tuesday and we went for a bike ride around Seoul. We stopped at a climbing wall, saw some animals at the Seoul forest park and finished the ride with eating some pizza for dinner. Later that night we saw the newest Harry Potter movie. It was a good day.

The Lantern Festival

We went to the Lantern Festival on Sunday. It is a celebration of Buddha's birthday, which is actually on the 24th of May. There are thousands of Lanterns hanging all around the city. There is an opening ceremony (the first picture) and then a very long parade ending at the Jogyesa Buddhist Temple.

Sports Day

On Friday, instead of teaching little kids, we played sports all day. Several of the EG School branches came together to compete in basketball, soccer, kickball and a relay race. Out of four, my team came in second place. There was lots of food, beer and fun!

Allister's Going Away Party

We had a going away party for a teacher I work with, Allister. We introduced some American games to Korea and went to an all you can eat and drink buffet for dinner. On the way to the restaurant we convinced a guy to let Greg drive a forklift! A good time was had by all.
