Karaoke with Koreans!

Sorry we don't get to write more often! We don't have much free time and the only computers we have our the ones in the office that we take from the staff members!

We have now completed day four! We are so exhausted but really having a good time. The kids are adorable but have more energy than I have ever seen! We both have 11 year olds and it's like herding cats! They have to do a dance performance in front of everyone on Friday - teaching my 11 year old Koreans to dance is the hardest thing I have ever done - swear. Instead of making up my own dance, I'm teaching them well known dances that already have moves...like the macarena!! So classy!

A few funny stories:
1. My kids were asking me where I was from so I said America and the state of Kentucky. He says "tucky" and I say what? Tucky! Ummm...ok - sure, tucky. To get his point across he finally drew a flag. It was the Turkish flag! I laughed out loud!
2. We had to do a placement test on Monday and one of the questions was "what is a mouse" One of Tim's students wrote, "A small animal you can eat." hilarious!
3. My student pointed to me and said "teacher has small face."
4. Tim was attacked by the biggest spider I have ever seen!! I was too busy laughing to be scared. I've never seen a man dance around like I saw tim dance that night. Isn't he supposed to protect from spiders?!
5. I have a student that can't speak any english so I was surprised when he raised his hand to have a a turn. His English name is "Brown." Students are guessing letters and turns out his hangman word was "brown." Adorable.

We are headed to Seoul this weekend and are very excited! I want to actually see Korea! Hopefully there we will have better internet access and fill you all in on more details!

Love you all!
