Teaching English

Here I am at work!



By the way, for anyone wondering, I teach English at a school called Sesan Elementary in the city of Busan, South Korea.

Budha's Birthday

May 5th was Budha's birthday. Many Budhists and non budhist visit temples for this celebration. I visited Bomosa temple with some friends to check out what it was all about.

The paper lanterns are for whishes people make. They write their names on their wish on the piece of paper. Then, at dawn they light a candle and put it inside.


There were many small temple houses around the grounds, all with people inside chanting and praying.

There were also hundreds of people around the temples praying. The atmosphere was extremely calm even though the place was overcrowded.

Childrens Day

This Friday was children's day and also Budha's birthday here in Korea. So, on thursday, my school held a day of sports and games for the kids since Friday would be a day off.

Here are some of the kindergarten students I teach.

We had a bowling game,

this dart game,

ring tose, signing, and a relay race. They also played this shoe tossing game.

Hilarious.

All the students lined up and sang the school's anthem.

It was a really hot out and everyone had a really good time. All the kids went home for the afternoon.
