Les Schoolzeribles

At around 10 pm, I noticed one high school boy (judging from his uniform) who was going home from school or any private night classes (?). Anyway..the thing was that..he must've been so tired of all-day long at school or all-day long studying...or may be..the whole year studying and ...having to be home late at night everyday..

that's why he just laid down on empty row of seats...

I know how he must've felt (no..of course I did not know)...but judging from the look on  his face, he really needed a time off....*oh..he moved from one compartment to another....trying to find empty seats to lay himself down...

Oh...it reminded me of a parody about how high school students in Korea who got to cram their time and energy to achieve their goal of ....getting admitted to universities of their dream.

Hmm...it's tough for them. 

Eyra attends school in Korea 입학을 축하합니다

It is early Spring 2012.
Eyra starts her first year as an elementary school student in Korea.
She is now officially a student at a Korean school.

First, we were kind of wondering as to where to send Eyra: whether we need to send her to International school or Korean school--along with its plus and minus. But, after long consideration, it is worth-it that we send Eyra to learn Korea and its culture, to meet new friends...in Korea. After all, we live in Korea for now. So, it would be a great experience and a challenge as well for Eyra and for us.

But, I am sure that Eyra can get along well and adapt easily into Korean classes and its environment.
I want Eyra to get exposure to Korean life and education through Korean elementary school.
By doing this, we do hope that Eyra will learn multicultural point of view in her life.
The Cheongnyangni Elementary School will be a place for Eyra to study for about 3 to 4 years.
I pray that it will be a great and good life for her. One more thing, this elementary school has been accepting more and more multicultural students from multicultural families living in Korea, so I am sure this will be a good 'added value' for all of the kids here.

So..these are the pics of her at the first day of school.




입학을 축하합니다^^
