| Spent Lunar New Year, Seollal, with Yeoreum and her family. We visited Incheon's Chinatown and ate some yummy street food called Kkultarae. |
 |
| "Shovelling" snow. |
 |
| Behind me you can see our neighbour's pear orchard. (February. On our roof). |
 |
| Went on a DMZ (De-militarized zone) tour. This train station is in a border town. It's not used today for through-trains today, but the hope is that someday it will be. |
 |
| Witnessed a fire at a food stall. |
 |
| Doodle/drawing inspired by Hwatu cards. |
 |
| This is a church's parking garage :) |
 |
| Folktale murals from Incheon's fairytale village. |
 |
| Liked the ramyeon in this one (Hongdae). |
 |
| Visited Haedong Yonggung, a seaside Buddhist temple. |
 |
| Buddha with a bag of happiness :) |
 |
| Walking back to our hotel from the temple. Took about 4 hours. |
 |
| Eating lunch / resting our feet at a cafe. |
 |
| Seaweed farms! |
 |
| View from our 15th floor hotel room; Skyline reminded me a bit of Chicago. |
 |
| Doodling the skyline :) |
 |
| Greeted the New Year's sunrise with thousands of others at Haeundae Beach. It was a really big deal (but only for about 15 minutes): brave swimmers, people releasing floating lantern-balloons and news broadcasters flying overhead in helicopters... |
 |
| Highlight of the trip: Jagalchi Market. Amazing variety of seafood!! Saw a full sized shark and ate raw flatfish :) |
 |
| Made Christmas cards. We wrote messages to each of our students. |
 |
| Each class/level learned a Christmas song to perform :) |
 |
| Making thumbprint Christmas magnets in my classroom. Other teachers hosted stations like musical chairs and cookie decorating :) |
 |
| Viewing a slideshow of the year so far. Jae (right; KOPI president) dressed up as Santa and handed out small Xmas party favours. |
 |
| Merry Christmas! |
