The girls, my classroom assistants took me to the store and dinner last night. Then we went to a sticker photo booth. It was a store full of these things. and it was big enough for 4 of us to stand in and then you write on the photo. fun.
Korean flag: made in 1883, before the 2 countries split, its on a white background to symbolize cleanliness of the people. It has a sideways ying-yang sign in the middle of blue and red, some people think the top half being red symbolizes the DPR (north Korea) becoming the DPR. It means a perfect movement making 2 as one and the origins of all things in the universe. and then there are four black line sequences in the outsides, they mean: force, field, radiance and gorge. I learned this from a 1988 tour book of Korea I found so it should still be accurate today. I didn't even realize that the four lines were different on the outsides until one of my students was drawing the flag and told me about it.
What else... I learned a lot from my tour book I found from 1988 but a lot of it is now history so I read a newer tour book but it didn't have as much information. Its so fascinating learning about a new culture.

Hey, I don't know when your coming home, but try to stop by the store Eryn Brinie if you can. It's big chain, like the Korean H&M. It's going to hit big here in a couple years, so you can be ahead of the curve!!!
