Things are still going well in Daejeon. We just enjoyed a big holiday last week and have another one (Foundation Day) today - Wednesday - so we've had some time to explore the area a little more. The weather is just turning autumny - crisp, which is a welcome relief after a few steamy weeks. Some of the trees are changing already, and we've been told that the colours will be incredibly beautiful in the surrounding mountains near the end of the month. Of course, no Korean landscape can compare to Lake Weslemkoon on Thanksgiving weekend - but I won't tell them that! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at home, and feel free to send any leftovers our way...! In the meantime, here are a few snapshots of our life in the fast lane: the first is of Donghaksa Buddhist Temple - one thousand years old, and now a college for female monks.
Then, one of my students, Anna, dressed in her traditional Han-bok for the Chuseok festivities last week,
Kevin and Melanie hunting chestnuts on Tuesday's kindy field trip to the country
My pretty new bike (and yes, that is the yellow brick road behind me...),
Four of my 5 year old students relishing the limelight
and a few of the YBM staff in our somewhat chaotic office!
