Classroom Impressions, Final Youngdo Edition

Well, after 13 months, our time at YES Youngdo English School has come to an end. In a week we will be headed to the south of India on vacation for 3 weeks. Then, we will go home to the US on Thanksgiving Day for 3 months before returning to Korea for another year (at a different school). We hope to catch up with you all back in the US!

We leave you with some words of wisdom from some of the students that made our time at Youngdo so memorable.

During a conversation about nature:

"Teacher, nature's bad thing is the dung."

In an essay comparing Mexican and Korean cultures:

"I think Mexico's greeting is really strange. They match their cheek and they make sound like kiss to someone. If in Korea we do like that, we can go to police station. It's really strange. We just shake our hand or bend our back to old people. It is different."

A student was telling me about a run-in with his mom:

Hans: "Sometimes mom is nice, but sometimes mom change to devil! She is hit me! Many time!"

Laura Teacher: "Oh dear, I'm sorry. Does she hit you with her hand?"

Hans: "No--with sword! Do you see this damage?"

Our last teaching day is Tuesday, so please check back a little later for some pictures of our last day.

Chuseok

This past weekend was the Chuseok, the Korean equivalent to Thankgiving. Its a three-day harvest festival held during the full moon in mid-Autumn. Koreans celebrate by returning to their hometowns en masse to pay respect to their ancestors. They wear traditional clothes called "Hanbok," eat rice cakes called "Songpyeon," and give gifts called "Tuna and Spam."

Kimchi Donuts

Dunkin' Donuts now offers kimchi-stuffed donuts. I tried one, and I have to say it wasn't half bad. Kind of reminded me of a Hot Pocket. There was even a little piece of ham tucked inside.
