Hwaseong Fortress

We have been at camp for 3 days now... It is going much better for me, personally, because I went from having the youngest class of 30 kids in Taiwan to the oldest class of 11 kids in Korea! What a difference! All of the class sizes here are so small... It's a treat! As usual, this camp has its own quirks... We have 'circle time' every day where we sing popular music with our kids.. The first day was 'Take me home Country Road' by John Denver. Yesterday it was 'Life is a bowl of cherries' from the current musical, Fosse. There actually are some real songs mixed in there, like Justin Bieber... But watching my kids croon to John Denver was worth every penny! We haven't been doing as much exploring since camp started, but yesterday we went to one of the markets and walked around and then walked back along te fortress wall, which was lit up at night. 3 more days of work this week, then we have the day off on Sunday. We are supposed to meet our friend Mr. Kim for a mountain hike! I will definitely keep you posted on how that goes. One of Linda's students recommended that we bring frozen water bottles!

I can just picture the Korean kids belting out a good ole John Denver tune :-) I think I still have that Grade 8 "Beryl Award" somewhere for winning the category: "Best John Denver Look Alike".

When it rains, it pours! Glad mom taught you how to post! I had to look up a picture of John Denver, but I see why you were a shoe in for the prize, Uncle Grant!
