Strawberry Festival!!!

Strawberry festival My strawberry days! Friday night after teaching I traveled 2 1/2 hrs to Daejeon. There I met up with 12 other teachers. We went to a hotel booked some rooms and went out for the night! The typical routine- eat, drink ( cider for me), and be merry ( norebang).  The next morning we caught a bus to Nonsan and walked to the strawberry festival. It was so cute! Everything was decorated with strawberries! Plastic, paper or wood! There was a lot of free strawberry samples and free meat samples! Strawberry ice cream, strawberry pancakes and waffles, strawberry cake, strawberry jam, strawberry painting etc. There was also an apache native American performance that reminded me of AZ. All in all it is a must do festival if ever you find yourself in Korea.  At the festival I bought two jars of jam for my schools( the loved it so much). After Nonsan I went back to Daejeon and from there took a two hr bus to Seoul! There I met with a Korean friend who studied with me for a few hours then I met up with another friend from church and crashed at her place.  Sunday and church was great! I was invited to dinner and left a little late and then got list at a transfer so... I missed my bus! I was going insane for a good ten minutes! Then I saw there was still one more for the night- the midnight bus leaving at 11pm. It was better than waiting the next day. So I had to wait for 3 hrs and sat in a Dunkin donuts forever to avoid the cold and to charge my phone! Luckily I survived and arrived home at 1 am and proceeded to have the best teaching week ever!
