Wise Words from the Wise Ones (And you know it's true!)

Good evening everyone and greetings from Korea. This is Mdm Koh, Mrs Lee and Ms Lim speaking. Just in case you were wondering why the teachers are blogging today, that’s because the students are busy preparing for their dikit barat performance at POSCO High School tomorrow. And so, in their place, we’ll be rounding up the eventful day for you.

We’ve just concluded a very exciting day at the Daegu Safety Theme Park and the Daegu Senior Convention Centre. The Koreans are truly very hospitable and sincere hosts. Both times we’ve visited these institutions, and we were warmly welcomed by a giant banner. We suppose their excitement comes as no surprise because we are the first overseas school to visit them. The director of the Daegu Safety Theme Park even made a special trip to meet us on his day off, and even donned a scary ghoul mask in conjunction with Halloween.

The teachers, excluding Ms Lim because she is still very young, got a glimpse of their golden years at the state-of-the-art gallery. The intstitution was started to accommodate the growing needs of an ageing population, and touts futuristic gadgets and equipment designed to enhance their quality of life.
It’s getting late and we’ve got to lock-in our beauty sleep before meeting the POSCO personnel tomorrow. The kids will be checking in with you tomorrow and update you on their eventful exchange with their student counterparts.
