Day 3 Saturday - full day in Korea. July 31 We woke up and had to be to the school by 7:30. We went into policy statements by the Headmaster. The school is Christian school so they definitely expect professional behavior - attending church regularly/lead by example/etc. There are quite a few responsibilities and expectations - interesting. We then had a break and got on a bus to go on a longer bus tour out to the other side of Daejeon. This was fantastic because we got to go to see the mountainous county side. It is very green - a lot of trees - a lot of agriculture or growing fruits and veggies. This was interesting. It is very pretty outside the city. We then went to this Japanese/Korean style restaurant. It was beautiful. We entered the restaurant in the countryside and took off our shoes (part of the Korean culture) we then sat on the floor on pillows to eat they had boiling pots of water inlaid to little tables. These were heated by hot rocks…they then gave us thin beef and lettuce wraps. We boiled the beef in the water and then laid it in the wraps. It was fantastic. We had many side dishes which is traditional Korean. This was cool. They had raw shrimp which we boiled. They also had kim che (not really liking this one) they have some type of root, spinach - it was good...
