Korean Folk Village

Another week of teaching flies by, and the weekend arrives. We didn't do much on Saturday, just hung around the flat. We didn't get in until late on Friday night, as we'd been out with Ben and met up with some other teachers, from America.

Sunday we headed into Suwon centre, and caught the free bus to the Korean Folk Village. This place is huge, all reconstructed buildings and homes from Korean history. From peasent and farm housing to merchant and government homes. The place is a living museum, with people living and working in some of the houses there.

We had lunch and spent the afternoon wandering around all the various places to see. Aswell as the village side, they have a traditional market, an amusement park and an sculpture park. We didn't see it all, so we plan to go back again to see the rest. It's cheap enough to go to. The free bus and entrance in is only 11,000 won, about a fiver. So a cheap day out.

We want to go back further into Spring, when the wild flower garden and all the trees will be in full bloom.

Now it's Tuesday, and we are into another week at school. We've got quite a week of it. Telephone interviews with the children start this week. So that means we have a couple of late sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Also I've started to write reports on some of my students. Oh, and we have to do our lesson plans for April. It's that end of the month thing I suppose, that we will have to get used to. It's no great problem, just a lot of work, and the first time for us this time round.
