Halloween and Pepero Day in korea cont'd (READ the next post first!)

Ok now pepero day. It's basically a commercial holiday that the chocolate factories made here to make money. Pepero day falls on our Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. So because this date is 11/11 on this day you give people chocolate covered cookie things that look like sticks or the number '1'. So I got many of these pepero sticks from my students, I guess one perk about being a teacher! The streets were filled with venders selling these sticks. They have in all sizes, as you can see from my picture some sticks are very big. This pink thing in my hand is one of the pepero sticks I got from a student. Ok well I hope you enjoyed the photos, I gotta run but thanks again for all your emails and msn check-ins. I really appreciate it! I've also gotten some nice surprises in the mail which i'm always excited to get! Thanks so much you know who are! K talk soon! Miss and love you all!!
As you can maybe see I also got my first haircut! Not sure if I like how short it is!!!!

Halloween and Pepero Day in Korea!

Hey Everyone! I know it's been a while since I've last posted but I've been really really busy! But now that I have a few seconds to breath I want to catch you up on some things that have been happening here. First, Halloween isn't celebrated here! Can you believe it! Many kids haven't even heard of it. So I decided to bring Halloween to my students. I decorated my class and dressed up as a few different things. I also had a costume contest with my students. My lesson was on the origins on halloween and how it came to North American and how we celebrate it today. I think the kids really enjoyed it, I mean what kid wouldn't like a day where they get candy! So I put some pictures of what I dressed up as, as well pictures of my student's costumes.
