Our greasy American bar food.
Some of us at B&B
On Sunday the OCTs also surprised us with dinner outings. My group had an American style dinner on the veranda overlooking the fields. We ate pizza, fried chicken, and some American-style Chinese food. It was a delicious reminder of home and much appreciated because the cafeteria food gets mighty repetitive.
Today we visited a Korean Elementary School in Cheongju, which is about an hour away from Goesan. We received a tour of the school, had tea with the principal, ate lunch with some students in the cafeteria and observed a current ETA teaching one of her classes. It was an extremely rewarding experience. All of the kids loved seeing a large group of 14 foreigners and we were constantly garnering cheers, screams, hellos and bows. It was adorable. I also really enjoyed being able to visualize what's in store for me this coming year.
After we returned back to the University a few friends and I went on a hike in the hills. The hike wasn't really on a trail and so we did a lot of bushwhacking but it was very neat and the view was astonishing. We also caught a glimpse of the nearby Military University. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures because I forgot my camera but hopefully I can grab some from a friend or just repeat the hike!
Tomorrow's my first day of Korean class, TKD and GLEE Club plus we have a teaching workshop so it will be a very busy day!
