EDU FARM!

 This was our first field trip of the school year! Since Dongtan is located outside of Seoul it's easier to do things a little more country. haha 

The inside was actually super pretty and there was a lot of things to see! 

They had all kinds of flowers and an assortment of things planted around and lots of photo ops! Because it's not a field trip without some quality photo's to show to the parents! ^^

After wandering around on the inside and taking LOTS of pictures we were led outside to plant potatoes!!! 

They each got 5 spuds and got to place them into each hole. After the planted them the farmer came around and covered them up with dirt and the kids got to pat it down. 

Time to wash up!

The view was country and it was silent all around!

After we washed it was time to get up close and personal with the farm animals. 

This frisky little bird was wandering around and getting really close to the kiddos. We kept the bird at bay as some of our babies freaked out. 

There was a turkey, two donkeys, and a mysterious looking dog. We didn't go near the dog. 

Overall the kids had fun looking and planting their potatoes! It would definitely be a great place to take your kiddos on the week end or just fun to check out!

Happy exploring y'all~

Seoul Cycle

Well folks its that time of year here in Korea... The school year is quickly ending and that means one thing.

PEOPLE ARE LEAVING

I have only been here for 4 months but have grown quite fond of the people I work with. Coming into the school year towards the end was rough for me, but with the support of my co-workers I was able to power through some difficult times in and out of work.

People who come to Korea to work never really know how long or short their stay will be or exactly when they will leave.

This will be my first "Seoul Cycle." SEVEN foreign teachers and 4 Korean teachers are parting ways.

I found out today that my gay partner in crime/ co-worker is leaving next Friday and I could feel the tears welling up. He has was the first one to take me out and get me drunk, he introduced me to the gay community of Seoul, and he has taken care of me through my stent with the Seoul crud. Needless to say this man has done so much for me and my heart will be broken when he flies back to Seattle.

He told me,"your a big girl, you'll be fine without me."

I know it will take time to get adjusted with new co-workers and new kids and I know I will be fine...

The sting of fast change will burn but it will soon vanish.

I am blessed that I have met such passionate and inspiring people.  I am forever grateful for everything they have done for me.

Now it is my time to help usher in the fresh batch of American and/or Canadian newbies and lend a helping hand just like the people who have done the same for me.

The cycle never stops nor will it ever change.

We just have to put on our big girl panties and deal with it.
