Hoo-Ray for Han-Bok Day!



It's that time of year again... Chuseok! The kids love it, I enjoy it... everyone gets to eat a lot of snacks and wear funny clothing. We also get our pictures taken and practice bowing. That way when the kids see their grandparents later they'll be able to properly address them for the holidays.

This year at my new school they weren't as extravagant as the last one. YBM PSA took pictures and we bowed, but no one showed us a tea ceremony or how to hold our hands. My co-teacher brought in her mother's hanbok for me to wear. Pretty nice. Very Yellow. The kids were adorable as always. Not to mention insanely excited to be showing off their traditional clothing. They found it really silly that I was in a Hanbok, and wanted to know if I brought it from home. Explaining my borrowing it and not knowing that much about it because it's only my second time in one wasn't as easy as i thought, haha. No big deal, we all found each other insanely hilarious!

Though the day can be stressful, trying to manage twenty kids in outfits their parents pay a lot of money for. They're not supposed to get them dirty, play in them, or just in general be rowdy (yeah you try telling that to twenty 6 year olds!)
Needless to say Stephen and I paid a much needed visit to Bob @Echo Point later that evening for a few rounds of pool. So, with our friends June and Kyu we passed the night in relative ease and laziness.


Rumicube!!!!
