School Life
On the right is a picture of my school. This is only part of the school but as you can see it is pretty big. There are over 1,300 elementry school students here and it is the biggest one in my city. I love walking up the school driveway with the kids to hear "Hello teacha Jenna!" I have to say 'hello' about 100 times by the time I make it to my office. The kids are often time sweeping or playing soccer. The grass is fake so it stays looking this nice all the time.
This week I didn't have any classes on Monday due to the typhoon and then the rest of the week I have had at least one class everyday that has been cancelled. This is due to the 4th graders practising for Sports Day (similar to our track and field day). Then my 6th graders went on picnics this week. Leaving me with only one class to teach on this beautiful Friday. It has been nice to get a lot of work done and get reorganized but I do miss seeing the kids all day long. Next week might be a rude awakening.
Coffee Shops
It has been awhile since I have spent time at one of the hundreds of coffee shops that are in Seogwipo. Korea has coffee shops about every 3 feet. They are everywhere and extremely popular. They are way more extreme about drinking coffee here than most people are in the US.
These are just some pictures I took at coffee shops. First, on the left, this is a picture of the different kinds of FRAPICCINOS, notice the spelling on the sign. It is just to cute, it is spelt in a way that is easier for Koreans to say. Second, the coffee cup on the right is just way to cute. I just had to take a picture of it. The coffee shops here have so much character and are fun to check out.
