some pictures of the university grounds

Today began with rice, seaweed soup, an egg and a carton of milk for breakfast. (I was very excited about the milk!) After a few group announcements and more introductions, we met the Hangul teachers took placement tests for language classes. Since I have no previous knowledge of Hangul, it wasn't that difficult to prove it :)   Then, I had a few minutes to take some pictures of my location, so here they are:

This is Jungwon University. Here, 73 individuals will spend six weeks preparing for teaching placements around the country.
These are some statues on the grounds that I thought were interesting. There are also two swimming pools, a golf course, a fitness centre, and probably more that I haven't discovered yet!

These are some of the nearby mountains. It is really pretty, especially with all the clouds.


This is a fountain and bridge that is near the golf course.

After lunch, we learned what past teachers took from their experiences and then had a photo scavenger hunt as an introduction to the town of Goesan. The day concluded with a mixer with Korean students. Altogether, it was a great day!
