We are about 12 hours until we take our train up to Seoul for the trip to Vietnam. It is finally here! We also reached the five month milestone today. We arrived in Yeosu on July 24th, and will be here until July 31st, 2009 (working at least). It is also Christmas Eve. We had to work today, which wasn't too difficult since we did mainly Christmas activities, but we took our middle school students out for a party day. We went bowling for about an hour and a half (after we were supposed to be finished for the day). Neither Megan or I minded. The kids absolutely loved bowling. Two of them had bowled a few times before, and two of them were having their first time bowling. For the first game the kids were cheering 4/5 pin throws like they were a strike. It was a lot of fun. It is also rewarding to give those kids a break from studying. They go to school all the time, and if not they are in after school hagwons. The South Korean educational system is so competitive, but it really breaks the kids spirits, sometimes.
We are packing tonight, then getting up at about 6AM to get in touch with some of the family on Christmas Eve... From there we leave at 11:30AM from the train station (two blocks from our house). We arrive in Seoul (Yeongdeungpo-gu) at about 4:30PM, then at some point we take a bus over to Incheon. I think we will stick around in Seoul for just a bit to get some western food for our Christmas dinner. The next morning we are off to Vietnam!! I will try and get online at least once or twice in Vietnam, and post on the blog... or at least email. In the mean time you can check out the weather in Nha Trang Merry Christmas Eve!!! Happy New Year!
