All is great in Korea. Planning to do some highlights about week two this week, but I have to tell you about today.
We spent the morning at a festival held in the countryside surrounding Daegu. It was amazing! One thing that we have learned during our first two weeks is that many of the young people have never met an American (or any "foreigner" at all). Schools have started to require students to learn English, but many of the kids and young adults we have encountered have never had the opportunity to speak English to a native speaker.
Today at the festival, it was as though we were celebrities. Dina and Harold were interviewed for the news regarding their impressions of the event. Amy was told that she looked like Angelina Jolie and Mike was told repeatedly that he was a "handsome man." Heather was crowded by kids and asked for her autograph. It is a very new experience!
The past several days have been exceptional (just like last week was) and I look forward to sharing the stories.
