Pre-vacation Activities

Before leaving for vacation, I taught 2 weeks of English camp, one week at each of my schools, and also desk warmed for another week.  After those three weeks, I was off the Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia! 
Below are some pictures from camp and the World Expo before I went on vacation.

One of the adorable Kindergartners on the bus

English Camp booklets I made for the students- theme was "Our World"

Some kids will do anything for some stickers

Her drawing of me!

We made cheese and cracker sandwiches- he was proud of his creation and his friend was envious, I think.

Peanut butter and raisin crackers- they've never had them before!  Peanut butter is hard to come by in Korea

Practicing their skit
After English camp, Jeremy, Steve, Fernando, and I went to Yeosu for the World Expo.  It takes place every 3 years and this year it was conveniently in Korea!  The concept was "The Living Ocean and Coast" focusing on preservation ideas.  The ones that actually touched on preservation were probably the best pavilions.  We went to about a quarter of the 100 that were there.  It was a great time!

Early in the morning



One of the pavilions we went to.  All of them were different in their own ways


Handmade turtles from Ecuador that showed what happens to them and how they are preventing it

Some of the countries had entertainment outside of their venues- Denmark  gymnasts




Mid-afternoon, it started to get a lot more crowded

Koreans set up shop in the middle of the sidewalk for nap-time
