Happy Chuseok everyone! Actually yesterday was really chuseok but I was with friends and I didn't update my blog so sorry about that. I have a 5 day weekend because of the holiday. So I have 2 days left and I am using the time off to catch up on some sleep and to have fun. In case you know when my birthday is it is tomorrow so I get to relax on my birthday! I am pretty happy about that.
Anyways back to the topic of Chuseok! Chuseok is a Korean holiday in which they celebrate their relatives that have passed and give thanks to them and the people around them. So being a teacher here I didn't know, but I felt bad because my student's parents bought me gifts. So did my boss. I got a lot of coffee which if you know me I hate coffee and don't drink it so yeah... I gave a lot of it away. I got nuts, tea and lotion. I also got cake and rice cake. I feel bad because I didn't get anyone anything. Yes I am a foreigner so I have an excuse but I still feel bad. Anyways, we celebrated with our kids on Thursday so I have a couple of pictures. We played traditional games, made rice cake and made a Jegi (Korean version of a hacky sack). It was pretty fun and the kids loved it!

Don't the kids look cute?!?! It was a lot of fun. Also this week was Andy's last week so I said goodbye to him and many of the kids cried. It was really sad to see. We also went to another baseball game together.
