Round 2

Today was Jang Saeng Po's sports day. It was just as much fun the second time around! And I took just as many pictures...

Again, group stretching to start the day. I think its hilarious

Kindergarteners after their race. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place got to sit by flags. 

Co-teacher Jenny! Her goal today was to make me do as many things as possible. She tricked me into running a race with the moms (but I got a prize - toothpaste and soap), she made me run a race with the students, and she made me play tug of war. It was super fun though! When I wasn't running we sat together and talked and laughed

This guy was the DJ/MC/host - I'm not sure what to call him. He announced, into the microphone, in Korean, that I look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

1. I look nothing like Julia Roberts

2. I'm not sure if he was trying to complement me or call me a hooker

Jump over the bar

This is Logan and his sparkly blue hat. He is in 1st grade

Step 1: Wear a cup hat

Step 2: Fill the cup with water, run to the bucket, dump the water in, and try not to get too wet.

Everyone had a balloon tied to their ankle, and they had to pop other people's balloons but protect their own

Run with a big ball

My favorite balloon game again! :)

1. Blow them up

2. Fill your bag

3. Make the dads ride the bag like a horse

4. and POP!

Run with a pole and please don't get hurt

Kick your shoe as far as you can

Group tug of war. I don't know if you can tell...but that's Sam in the middle of the picture wearing man capris. It was so hard to not laugh at this outfit

This kid, all alone in the back, was not helping his team very much. He's actually not even a student at this school...

Superman came to visit, and he brought balloons

Scoreboard. The teams were called Big Whale and Big Dolphin

Whole school relay race. The 1st graders started

Aaaand...lets end the day with a coreographed dance! 

After sports day most of the teachers went out for lunch at a nearby restaurant, and some parents came too. A few of the moms paid for everybody's meal. I ate whale meat. It was chewy and salty. It's very expensive, and illegal. But they eat every single part of that whale. There was tongue, intestine, back, and shoulder on the platter. Half the table watched me eat it, so I had to swallow and pretend to like it. It actually wasn't too bad - I've had worse things to eat in this country. I would never order it, but if somebody gave it to me again I would eat it. After that Jenny drove me home, and I spent the afternoon relaxing and getting ready for my WEEKEND IN SEOUL!!!! :)
