Day 6

Met with Jamie, who is the Technology Coordinator at TCIS. We discussed the possibilities of a collaborative learning experience between our schools. I had sat in on Mrs. Dewey's ITGS class yesterday and we also had discussed some different approaches, perhaps by getting guest privileges to courses on their Moodle server. Anyway it may be a starting point to strengthen our global relationship with TCIS. A foundation that could be built on and improved in the future.

Since my 1PM appointment had been pushed back an hour and a half, I used the time to start getting organized for my LASA trip. This involved doing a batch of laundry(more later in this post) after which I hit the streets.

Had my camera this time and took some pictures of a market. The woman who worked there offered to take my picture, so there I am. All without speaking any Korean except gamsahamnida( thank you), of course. Took some photos from the chaos looking up at the quiet place I had found yesterday. Even found a stairway that led me to that quiet place. Looks like this is a pretty popular place. Probably for meditating. From up here I see the KTX(bullet train) headed south, I believe, to Pusan. Without the ocean I am having a little trouble with my internal compass. So it may be heading north to Seoul. Anyway. I find that the path goes completely around the campus of Hannan University, and leads right out to the street the campus is on. As I head back to campus I see some more of that coffee thing going on. Trying to figure out why it is always in English instead of Hangul script, just curious.

Have you been waiting to hear about the wash? Well, I am up early again. So I go out for my morning jaunt. Running ahead of schedule I decide it would be good to get my laundry done so it will be dry to pack for the second leg of my journey. I load it up and finally look at the buttons and realize I can't read what they say. It was easy to determine what the red and green button did but the rest was all greek to me! I must be getting caught up on my sleep, because I had the presence of mind to take that picture and bring it up to campus, and seek help. Thanks, Laura Lynn, forgive me it I misspelled the name. High Tech washer, drier not so much!

I am little out of sequence here but the picture of the dirt pile is the location of the new campus for TCIS. Great location! John Nelson showed it to me on the way to a delicious meal at an Italian restaurant. Once again another very pleasant evening.

I wrote this post on the same day, I must be catching up! And it is only 10PM on Thursday. (It is hard to believe that I began this venture a week ago!) That will go down the drain, as I am looking at a 3AM departure on Saturday morning for the Philippines. No need to get up early tomorrow, I am up to date! Good night.

End day 6.
