Sports Day....New Teachers...New Term

Yo! How's it going? Yeah I know it's been like 3 weeks but that's better than my usual length between posts lol there have been a few things that have happened over these past couple of weeks. I went to a Sports day, we have new teachers, and a new term has started...now for the first exciting thing...Sports Day!

Lately I've been with this organization called Mannam. They are a volunteer association based in Korea. Here's the link for more information: http://www.mannamintl.org/ They are an awesome organization that are truly non-discriminatory. They aren't affiliated with any particular religion and it's a good way to meet other foreigners here that aren't from your job and do some good for people at the same time.

I digress though, the point is I went to an ultimate sports challenge they put together in Seoul for all the branches in Korea on May 19th! It reminded me of Field Day in elementary in school, it was so much fun and I liked watching the different sports being played. There were also little booths along the side of the field that were fun carnival type games where you could win raffle tickets.There were also a Tug of War and this strange paper airplane game lol it was a good time.
Stopped here for a quick bite to eat

This is the ceiling of the COEX


Ultimate Challenge time!!

Soccer!

Basketball!

One of the members in our branch has the nickname Giraffe lol
Me and another memeber....I don't have a tshirt yet lol

On the bus ride home we had Norebang! (Karaoke)

It was fun but a bit difficult with a moving bus lol

Ok next new life event....NEW TEACHERS!!! We got 4 new teachers, the first two came the May 18th and the other two came May 25th. We have people taking this term off so new teachers is good plus now I'm not the newbie anymore lol They're all pretty cool too so that's good. This also leads to my next topic...kinda sorta not really lol but a new term has also now started! I now have new students and new classes that I'm teaching as well as every other Friday off....I have the best schedule out of anyone at work I think lol I do miss my old students...some of them two girls I had last term gave me chocolates they're so sweet!




Chocolates!!!
