We woke up to four inches of snow! So beautiful!
We closed out English Camp today, and relocated to our hotel in Seoul. We so enjoyed our students this week! It was hard to say goodbye to them. Lots of picture taking! We can't post pictures of students, unfortunately. After hugs (and the more culturally-acceptable bows) and pictures, pictures, pictures, we departed from the camp.
As a team, we agree that we underestimated the English skill level of our students. They know lots of vocabulary words, but they have trouble putting sentences together. That's what they needed help with. We anticipate that the next Westover team will be better prepared!
After checking in to our hotel, we went out to lunch. Pastor K. found us a place where we got burgers, fries and Pepsi! Woot! Some of us had bulgogi burgers. There was a bulgogi sauce on the burger, so it was still a cultural experience! (Click here to learn about bulgogi)
After lunch, some of us took a chilly walk, exploring the area around our hotel. David H. was preaching on Friday evening, so he and Pastor K. and Jim headed out for that. The rest of the team, rested, chatted, ate pizza (woot again!) for dinner, and went to bed early.
Saturday will be a day of sightseeing and shopping, organized by the tireless Pastor K. Then we head for the airport early on Sunday. There's snow in the forecast here for Sunday, so pray that it won't interfere with our travel. While we've had a GREAT trip, I think we're all looking forward to sleeping in our own beds!
