School Day by the Han River

I was excited to find out that on Friday Sept. 9th my school had a "field trip" to the Han River.  It was suppose to be a day for each of the classes to take their class picture and to write poems.  When we got to the meeting place all the girls were excited to take their pictures, I think they were excited because they had permission to wear make-up.  It is against school rules to wear make-up to school.  It was raining when we got there and we where all trying to stay dry.

 The girls are so cute as they pose for their pictures.

 Since it was raining so much and the girls wouldn't be able to write their poems so we were able to leave and have an early start to our long weekend.  Sept. 12 is the Korean Thanksgiving, it is called Cheousok (I'll write more about that in the next post).  The girls where told the theme for the day and told to write their poems over the holiday weekend.  Everyone was so excited because we got to leave around 10 o'clock.  Even in the rain the Han River is still so beautiful.

Since I had some free time I decided to go and do something fun.  I went shopping in a local department store.  It was funny because some of the girls from my school where there too and they followed me around saying hi to me.  It was a great start to my holiday weekend.
