We Be Trippin'

Some of you are wondering if I came here to teach or if I just go from tourist spot to tourist spot eating delicious food. That's still up for debate. But, here's some pics of things we've done at school recently.

We went on two field trips this month and both went really well for my class. I was quite apprehensive as sometimes they can be a handful. In fact, my Korean supervisor looked at me one time and asked: Why are they being so good here?

The first trip was to the Seoul Children's Museum. It's actually a really cool museum and would love to go back again because we definitely didn't see everything. It was kind of lucky because we only had 7 of 9 kids, which I know sounds horrible, but it was much easier for us to manage. One of the kids away is the slowest person I've ever met, I know it would have been a problem.

The way there on the bus. Sue is wearing the mask. She wore it all day and only took it down once to cough in my face. Thanks for defeating the purpose of the mask, Sue.

Aaron is the one hugging me. He is the trouble maker from the beginning of the year. Can you believe this?

Look at Mini's hat!

Typical lunch to bring on a field trip - literally every kid brought some version of this which is kind of like sushi but it's got cooked tuna inside with veggies instead. Some kids also bring a lunch for the teacher so I had two of these plus so much fruit that the kids bring to share.

So many nappers on the way home. Yay!

 Our second field trip was to a fire station. This was one that is built for schools to come. It's kind of like the Telus World of Science. There's an earthquake simulator, a smokey room to go through, and the kids can put out a fake fire on a screen by shooting little fire extinguishers. I was quite impressed with the set up!

I'm generally not into cannibalism, but I would eat this child she is so cute. She is the thorn in my side on a daily basis, and often gets in trouble, but just look at her. And she still hugs me all the time even though sometimes she says: Allison Teacher angry. 

Really looking forward to tomorrow's temple stay. Updates to come on that!

Love,
