April 21st-day 2

Our first trip of the day was an Elementary school where we were able to get an in depth tour. We participated in an English class. The kids were friendly and eager to learn. The facility even had a dentist checking student's teeth. With the kids being so curious I played my video about what Americans have to say about the U.S. We met with the Principal, who was very open to suggestions. While eating BiBimBap, the Mayor from Asan City came in to say hello. Much like Plymouth Plantation the Koreans have a museum showing what life was like in a village 500 years ago. The descendants of the the original settlers occupy a portion of the village. Each of us dressed up for a mock wedding with the ornate wedding attire. It was such a treat to go through a very special tour of the Danglim Art Museum. Mr. Lee, director of the museum, showed us many precious things such as his father's studio where everything was left exactly as his ather left it before his death. We learned he was a very famous painter that was comissioned by the government to produce 7 paintings. Later we went to what I would say is the coolest spot in Korea. We sang kareoke in a helicopter cafe where bands rock out. The owner built it all by hand which took 5 years. Soon after we sped off to meet up with our host families for dinner. The sound of hungry people filled the room as we ate a variety of side dishes. I met up with Val and her family for a movie in Cheonan where we saw The Book of Eli. The theater in the big city had assigned seating and yummy Caramel popcorn. As the vibrations hit our seat, Becky and Carolyn were served chicken sandwiches and french fries from Popeye's. All in all we had another great day.
