LAST DAY OF SUMMER CAMP
The angels voices deafening, the light was so bright that day!!Well, it's been 3 months since my last update!
We did a 19 day 12 hour summer camp through out July and August... it was TOUGH! But the kids were great! After the camp we left for the Philippines, first Boracay, then Cebu city and then to Bohol.
Philippines is famous for scuba diving. Unfortionately we don't scuba dive but the snorkely was gorgeous just the same.
We are really enjoying ourselves this year. Much more then last, we've made amazing friends, we both like our schools. We're taking full advange of our free time.
I've begun learning Korean. The second grade korean language teacher really wants to improve her English, therefore offered to teach me korean 4 times a week, during our spares at school.
I can say 4 sentences, here's 2, since it's not as impressive when typing as it would be if you could actually hear me.
Nanun Canada saram i ai yo = I am Canadian/I'm from Canada
Nai eerumeun Jessie yai yo = My name is Jessie
I've also taken up playing guitar. I bought a beautiful Reedman(Ovation makes them) for really cheap and Brendan is teaching me. She's yellow and cherry
red. My fingers tips are constantly numb! I'm slowly getting better.
Still taking pictures, just bought myself a nice tripod so I'm more prepared for those difficult shots. My friends Jimmy and Chris want me to take them out for an afternoon soon where I'll teach them a few things I learned in my photography class. Possibly hit up an outdoor market and take some interesting shots there.
Our circle of friends all have been finding documentaries that we're all recommending to eachother, to help us improve our individual selves. Which has inspired me!! Brendan, our buddy Chris and I are planning on doing a Temple stay in the next few months. I've emailed the temple we've chosen, but still am waiting for a reply. It seems they only allow visitors every last saturday of every month. So we're not sure when we'll go yet.
If you're wondering what a temple stay is, it's when you go to a temple in the afternoon and someone shows you around, teaches you how to bow and meditate etc. You dress like the monks and eat with the monks. Spend the night, wake up for 4am meditation with the monks... and leave
Helping Hands
The skit Brendan and I prepared with some of the students for the final day the next afternoon. It's only for a shirt stay but will be very interesting and I'm looking forward to doing it.
We're having visitors in the next few days which will be fun. Brendan's parents will be flying in Wednesday night and staying until October 3rd. We'll be quite busy travelling around. Daegu, Busan, Gyeung-ju and Brendan and his folks will head to a city in Japan that you can take a quick ferry from Busan. I'll be going home during that time to watch Koah, my kitty. Have some free time on my own to practice guitar and take some pictures.. maybe even hit a spa😊
I'm at school right now so I'll be posting pictures along with this blog when i get home so please check in again soon!
