Expo Park






Expo Park and Sculptures






On Saturday, I watched a cross country meet for the first time. Our school was running here in Daejon by the river. I got to hand out popsicle sticks for the numbers- who was 1st, 2nd...... One race we had 63 kids running! Anna and Stephanie walked with me to the Expo area across the street and we saw some amazing buildings and rode the rollercoaster. It was a great ride and view from the top. I definitely want to go back.

Gwangwa Bridge at Night

Here's a short video of the bridge at night.

Gwangali Beach






On Sunday we met up with other teachers from TCIS and had a picnic on the beach. There was a big Art Biennial with huge sculptures on the beach. Those are real roses...we could smell them!

Busan Aquarium





We went to the aquarium on Saturday night. It had a huge shark tank that we walked around and under. There were lots of colorful fish! The last picture is with Stephanie and she's also from Iowa, but unfortunately, she is a Hawkeye fan.....last night she told me Iowa beat Iowa State in football, so I guess we'll have to wait till basketball season for Iowa State to beat Iowa.

Buddhist temple



Lighthouse and Cliffs






The lighthouse is on the cliffs and we walked down onto the rocks and could see right from the edge of the cliff into the water.
