Better Late than Never

International Students HANST 2013



First, a word of thanks to the girl who made this post possible.  Thanks, Miree, for taking most of the following photos and posting them on Facebook.   (Thanks to all the others whose photos I stole, as well...)




The following are pictures from our first week at Handong, called HANST -- Handong Student Training.


First, some pictures of the International Teams HANST!










And here are a few of us waiting to head out for the day.



 Enjoying a Korean meal.


Yay pizza! 
(Korean pizza... Made with sweet potato instead of tomato sauce... Not bad, depending on the toppings... This time bulgogi (sweet, marinated beef) and ham and potato pizzas.)


More food.


Sawako's birthday!


  Team B!





Holding the Korean flag we drew from memory, even explaining the symbols.




Waiting, in one of several lecture/orientation things, to be zapped by the loud click in the translator device.



That's a lot of freshmen.


Oh, you know, just showing us all the talented clubs at Handong.


Kpop dancing!  (There were female groups, too, but no pictures.  But trust me when I say they danced pretty well.  And in case you haven't seen a kpop dance before... I'll include a video.)










Enjoying the beautiful weather.







Playing jongmagi, basically, Korean hackey sack.  We were pretty terrible.



But the Chinese kids were pretty good!


Team B!



Americans jumping rope.  Three successful jumps was our record.




Miscellaneous HANST moments

























Downtown in Yukgurri!



At the maejom - convenience store.



Picture with the president of Handong.



Our Honor Code folders



And that's it for the pictures I took off of Facebook.  I feel a little better now, having shown you pictures of actual people here.  


Until next time!
