Geungbukdong Palace



Another huge palace in Seoul. There was a great folk museum next to the palace with lots of Korean history.

Suwon Folk Village





Suwon Folk Village- it was a really long subway ride from Seoul. I hope I find a faster way from Suwon next year.

Travel in Aurora





We traveled to some sights in Aurora the last day. We saw Asia's largest tree, a waterfall, and one of the 6 colleges in the province of Aurora. After that, we headed back to Manila to do some shopping and catch our flight back to Korea.

Final Day Program and House Dedication




Our fearless leader, Jonny Wong, trying to step over the poles. The other 3 teachers from our team also tried steps. The kids at the village were full of energy and loved to watch us work and play with us when we had free time. We got them some basketballs and volleyballs and taught them how to do origami. One of the girls also brought nail polish so we could paint their nails. The last picture shows some of the skilled workers and volunteers we worked with over the week. The man in the back next to Annette, Juanito- he carved a small soap for everyone on our team- 17! He was a great teacher and had amazing patience with all of us. I really miss all the people we worked with and met.
