Dae Han Min Gook!

So, came back from Korea a few days ago. Felt like it was just yesterday that I was "teaching kids English" in Korea. Truly an experience that I will never forget. Honestly, going to Korea I wasn't expecting much. Just expected to meet a few kids, meet relatives (thought this was going to be the highlight), and hang out with friends. Turns out I was terribly wrong.

Wonju! Most definitely my favorite place in Korea. Best memories. So blessed by all the people in Wonju. Not just by the kids who I fell in love with, but all of the church people and helpers. They treated us so well that I couldn't even express how thankful I was. When the head pastor was leaving to go home on the last day, I really wanted to thank him but I didn't know the words to use. At times like that I really wish I could speak Korean well. The kids... little brats haha. Just kidding... for the most part. Most of them were really good kids, they all just wanted attention. Especially the kids that were orphans... right. The church brought the local kids from an orphanage to the E-camp, and we didn't find out until like the second day that they were orphans. They were all really good kids though, love them all. Turned out to be some of the best kids, they probably touched us the most out of all of the kids. We came to be teachers, but they taught us so much more than we could have ever taught them. I'm just rambling now >.>...

Anyways, a lot of these kids were like stones at the beginning of E-camp, and the language barrier didn't help much, but by the end of the E-camp, these kids came to love us and we came to love them. It was only 4 friggin days, yet we grew so close to them. I mean, I'm not the type to cry, but I was bawling. When I saw some of my teammates crying I was thinking "You're an idiot, why are you crying?" But when the bus left with the kids, tears just starting coming out. "Crap, I'm an idiot." In fact, I was one of the ones to cry the longest >.>.

Rest of the trip was good, not as crazy though. Met with the fambam...

Oh right! Air Force Academy E-camp!

Hoped it would be like Wonju... it wasn't. The kids I got were too good. They made me feel like a bad person because they were so good. They opened up really fast too, quiet for the five minutes then... BAM. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!"

Fun kids, I'm going to remember them.

Overall, Korea was good. Looking forward to going again if possible, especially to Wonju.
