Chuseok

So Chuseok is their biggest holiday here in Korea and I now have 6 days off.  At school though we got to celebrate and the kids dress up in the traditional wear called: Hanbok.  The kids looked great and it was a lot of fun!  We played games and made some food.  I also got a gift from one student and he gave me a nice box with 2 bottles of wine and and opener. 

This is one of the other teachers, Carrie, in a Hanbok.

All so cute!

Practicing how to bow on stage.  This is one of my classes.

Looking cute and pretty!

Esther!  They do love the peace sign.

My youngest class.

Making a traditional food, Songpyeon.  A dough with sesame seeds and sugar in it.  Then steamed.

One of the games the kids played where they had to throw arrow like things in a bucket.  I was in charge of this game.

It was a fun day and there are these few boys who love to dance and I am going to try to upload a video of all the kids dancing!  Very funny and super cute. 

This school is so nice.  I happened to metion to a teacher that cereal is expensive here and she said to go to Costco.  I told her I had seen Cheerios there and I plan to get some when I can join Costco.  When I got to work this morning there was a Costco box of Cheerios on my desk.  She bought me some over the weekend.  I also did finally get my alien card and can join things (like Costco) and not carry my passport around.
