Tuesday we went on a tour of the city. First we went to Deok Su Gung Palace. WOW!! This was originally the home of King Seongjong's elder brother Prince Wolsan. However, after all palaces in Hanyang, now Seoul, had been burned down during the Japanese Invasion of 1592, Deoksugung was used as a temporary palace. The palace was used as a royal palace for 7 years until 1615. Then the royal palace was moved to Changdeokgung. When Emperor Gojong returned in 1897 he lived there even after he handed over the throne. From that time on this palace was known as Deoksugang, which means of the Palace of Virtue and Longevity in the spirit of praying for a long life for Emperor Gojong. Emperor Gojong passed away there in 1919. Next we drove past the BLUE ... read more

Well hello everyone, Sorry I haven't written in a few days, we've been super busy. Monday we visted two schools and were given excellent tours. It was amazing and I have a ton of pictures to show everyone. The first school was 1st grue tade through 6th grade and it was a public school. There were 840 students attending, however, everything was surprisingly organized. They have 36 students to a class and the classes are split into two... 18 students on one side being taught in English and then the other 18 were being taught in Korean. The length of time in class is 80 minutes at a time. Their school day starts at 8:00am and ends at 4:00pm. After that many of the children will catch a bus and go to another school which ends ... read more

Hello Everyone, Well yesterday we traveled to the Coex convention center to check out our booth. It is awesome!! I will take pictures of it today all decorated so that everyone can see! The colors on the buildings are amazing. Everything is so bright and vibrant... All of the bridges have color changing lights that illuminate the sky beautifully. All of the women were high heels with everything and all of the men wear business suits. We took the subway to the convention center which is attached to this GIANT mall... At the subway, during rush hours they have people they call pushers that will literally push all of the people into te subway so that the doors can close!! Clothes are very expensive here, and everything is a brand name with english writing if any. ... read more

Hello To all!!! Well that was probably the longest plane ride I have ever been on!! I think we arrived at about 1:40am our time and it was 4:40pm local time. It was another hour until we got to the hotel from the airport!!! LONG!! Traffic was horrible, but at last we made it. I think everyone had a hard time sleeping even though we were all so exhausted. We are staying in a beautiful hotel I will upload some pictures when I can. All of the ceilings are high and the wood whether it be on the walls, floor, or furniture is absolutely goregeous!! I miss you all terribly and as soon we figure out the international cell phone that we rented I will try to call. We are getting ready to head out into ... read more
