Teacher Trip

My school had its semi annual teacher trip this weekend. We left the school at 12:50 p.m. on Friday. The weeks leading up to the trip I had no idea what to expect and had no idea as to where we were going mostly due to the language barrier, so everything was a big surprise. The bus was a very Korean bus. Inside was covered in purple and was equipped for karaoke.

As soon as the bus started moving, the beer and the goodie bags started to be disbursed. We then played bingo. Once the game was done they put on a movie and the guys moved to the back of the bus to drink soju and eat pork.

It took 2 hours to get to our first destination, which was The Garden of Morning Calm in Hanghyunni. We were given a little over an hour to tour the gardens.

We then headed to a lake to ride a speedboat.

We had dinner at Chuncheon and had dak galbi (a spicy chicken dish) that the city was known for.

After dinner we headed to a pension that we would be spending the night. Our room was covered in color. Each wall had a different kind of wallpaper. Our evening was ended with Karaoke.

We started Saturday with breakfast at 8:00 am. Our breakfast consisted of side dishes, rice, and soup. In our agenda, we were supposed to go bike ridding but this was canceled due to the rain. We were also supposed to go to Gugok Falls, but that was canceled because it was under construction. I am not sure how waterfalls would be ‘under construction’, but they where. Instead we went to a dam.

We had lunch at ansong and then headed back to school.
