Our school is phenomenal...I couldn't have hoped for a better set-up in Korea...(except maybe sometimes being closer to Seoul would be nice) and I am definitely in love with most of my kids. Even though the are sometimes rude...always ignorant and mocking of foreigners, I have come to love them. They are really cute.
We had our ELC day today (that's the name of our school) and I have to say I haven't felt that loved in a long time. The kids were so cute...and they all love us....even the wienerlike ones like us deep down. Kind of reminds me of working with teenagers. I always think they are at best, indifferent to me, until bam, you leave, or something happens and then you see you actually did mean something to them. It always surprises me. But anyway, picture like 500 cute kids holding your hand and giving you hugs, saying hi and wanting pictures and waving and giving you flowers...it was like a love fest.
I guess I should explain a bit more...
It was our "impress the parents with all the english they've learned so they'll keep forking out the cash" event. I have a thousand pictures from it that I'll put up later. I took a lot on Amy's camera with a nice bright zoom, and lots on mine with a wider perspective, so we have got the event covered. If they ever want posters or anything.....done.
Not that the event itself was that phenomenal...I mean, how good could 3 hours...yes 3 hours....of halting English really be? Especially when the audience wouldn't have understood good english in the first place, never mind Konglish....but anyway...it was long, it was good, I'll show you pictures later, I'm really starting to enjoy it here and to all a good night.
