Happy Birthday Eric!

Eric's birthday was this past Friday, the 12th. We had an easy day at school getting ready for Seollal and spent the night celebrating with some other English teachers at our favorite expat bars in Islan.

Seollal - Lunar New Year

The three day holiday of Seollal is one of the most important traditional Korean holidays. Typically, each family visits their grandparents in the country and honors their ancestors. We celebrated Seollal in kindergarten on Friday by having each student dress in the traditional hanbok and playing traditional Korean New Year games.







Because Korean's are required to give gifts to so many people, most opt for conveniently pre-wrapped gift packages. This was our favorite.
