Field Trip at Boramwon... July 16-18

I got away to the countryside again this weekend! There were 8 from Sogang Uninversity, 15 from Yonsei University an over 50 Korean Students were sponsored by the Owoon Foundation to participate in a weekend International Student exchange

At Camp

The accomidations were Korean style where you make your bed each night.

Here are a couple of students outside the building we slept

The first night we had a lot of fun (and exhausting) games, and where I got my nick-name "Santa Claus"

The camp is 3 hours drive from Seoul

Here I am with Kim Songsu. You can see by our shirts that we are on the same Team. Everything is very group oriented here!

There was a play that one group performed.

And they even taught us to play some traditiona Korean Instruments. It was very humbling to play the gong since everyone noticed when I was early or late!

We also went to see the giant Budda at Mount Songni (pictures pending) and Independance Hall. Independance Hall is pretty well blocked in this Picture of Me, Francisco ( a seminarian from Mexico), Li SonSangnim (a teacher at Sogang), Giomi (a classmate from Japan), and Javier (another seminarian from Mexico)

On the fun side...

Outside the Catherdral in Seoul Was this intereting sign...appealing as it sounded, I didn't sign up.

A tasty treat with beans on ice! It is so popular here that they even have it at Burger King!
