Korean Field Trip

Ahhh...A Korean Field Trip.
We were very excited about our first field trip to the sweet potato farm! We soon realized that the field trips here in Korea are about as disorderly and chaotic as ever.
All of us teachers patiently led our children around a huge farm two by two, with NO IDEA where we were going or what was happening next.

We hiked up hills, to go down hills, to turn around and go back up hills, when the person we were following went the wrong way. Or just to take our kids to the bathroom.
We led our kids through a huge parking area of closely parked charter buses. (This was the only path to get to the sweet potato crops)

Rice cakes..mmmmmm...

Songpyeon
Oh yes! We are one vacation and it is so nice! We are getting to sleep in and stay up late! Whoot!
Actually today we found a 1,000-3,000 won store a town over, ate at TGIF and made it home safe on the bus but nearly melted from tarential downpours! Wasn't exactly the most restful day but all the same we are on holiday!
We are on this lovely vacation because of Chuseok! Zachary has already filled you in on some Chuseok history.

Happy Chuseok!!!!




Heather's Kindergarden Class








So here we are 4 weeks into our life in South Korea and we come to a major holiday, Chuseok. This holiday is considered the Korean Thanksgiving. The festival is celebrated on September 20 of every year. As I have seen and read, it seems that this festival is dedicated to the gods and ancestors of these people. Usually the family will gather together at their parents or grandparents house to celebrate together.
