Monday 8:30am here in Korea. I pile into a van with, Darren, Deana, Lee, and Ryan, head for Suwon City, some 60-70 miles from Daejeon to pay a visit on GSIS(Gyeonggi Suwon International School). GSIS sister school to TCIS. I sit in on a Technology meeting with Darren and the administrative staff to discuss a new initiative that will be implemented this spring.
Enjoyed a Korean lunch in the school's dining facility(spicy chicken, bean curd, seaweed soup, and of course kimchi). Take a tour of the school with Frank their "Tech Guy". The school is 3years old and is a beautiful facility. It is 2:00pm, getting very tired. So I take a break and go for a walk. Suwon, at least the part I experienced on my walk is a very nice city. Happened upon a very spirited group of Seniors playing croquet(in 30 degree weather)! Found a path going up a hill next to the school, reaching the top I find a small graveyard you can see the school in the background. I guess this is very common in this country.
Really fading on the drive home. Had a very pleasant dinner with Darren Price, his wife Lara, and two daughters, Sarah and Casey. We were joined by Brent and Jo Frazier. Brent heads up Residential Living at TCIS. So far all of the people I have met are very warm and welcoming. They make you feel right at home. This makes being so far from home a little easier.
Brent drops me off at the apartment at 8:00pm. In bed by 8:30pm. I am exhausted, sure hope I sleep tonight. End Day 3.
