The first week...


Big Friendly American explains 'you are, under no cicumstances, allowed to put your hands on the table in this game of blow pingpong/soccer type game that you are about to partake in.' The students demonstrate their understanding of a marvelous explanation.

And...in the game of dodgeball, we are down to the last few girls who had, until now, successfully hid behind the boys. Now the boys are all out, it's time for them to get blasted with the ball. 'They love it' Big Friendly American claims as the last scream goes up, and the winners are declared. 'It'll toughen them up. They don't do anything like this in Korean schools'. Hmm.

Time for the surprise the kids have been practising for the foreign teachers. Oh...it's My Love by Westlife...just like last time, and with no music. Great.

A mixture of feelings and emotions before the kids leave at the end of the week. The girl in yellow wrote me a note saying she loves me and wants to marry me. The girl on the right wants us to be friends forever, and the girl on the left just couldn't give a shit, and is ready to go home.
