we have arrived in nonson, korea. i love it here. the people are so warm & kind, the view is spectacular & the food...yum.
so far we have been "taking a lot of rest" & recovering from the incredibly long flight. we're staying on campus at chungnam internet high school. it's a very nice campus & most of the students are on winter break so it's quieter than most months. our first day of the language camp is tomorrow & we're so excited to meet our students!
today we went exploring a bit - had a traditional korean meal - sitting on the floor with a grill in the center of the table. i am very glad to be a vegetarian - the other teachers ate dog. we had a lot of different dishes to try - i loved "korean pizza" & tofu lettuce wraps with traditional sauce. after dinner, we hiked up to a buddhist temple, which was absolutely beautiful. then, had jujube tea at a quaint little tea shop.
tonight we're going to explore nonson with some of the parents of our students - visit a strawberry farm, traditional korean dress design shop & another authentic korean meal. can't wait!
much love.
sounds absolutely wonderful. :) :) can't wait to hear more! hope you can keep us posted!
