Great Times with Ladies from Pusan

At last, I have enough time to sit down and write about some of the wonderful experiences I am having here in Hawaii. In early February, I had a very special experience teaching a two-week intensive English class at Kapiolani Community College in Honolulu. My students were 8 women from a university in Pusan, Korea. With a small class size, we got to know each other very quickly. Its amazing how quickly the bonds between us grew. Despite language barrier, we managed to communicate very well, in thanks mostly to the ladies' outstanding English language efforts. (I know only two phrases in Korean: "ahn yeon ha say yo" (hello) and "soju" (a korean liquor!). At any rate, by the end of the two weeks, we were all very sad to say goodbye. We'd laughed and danced hula together and got to know each other very well.

Take a look the pictures that both and I the students took and you will get an idea of the wonderful time we had together. And oh - did I mention that Kapiolani Community College has one of the most beautiful views of any campus I've ever seen? Well, it is in Hawaii after all. A hui hou! (See ya later!)
