*Learned names and words in Korean
*Learned about the women divers of Jeju island.

Playing Kawi Pawi Po (Scissors, rock, Paper) Korean children use this game when walking home from school. The loser has to carry everyone's books and backpacks!
We learned our names in Korean as well as some other words- hello, goodbye, please and thank you.
These are the traditional bows done by children to their elders during Sul, The Korean Lunar New Year. The children honor their elders with a bow then are given Bokjumoni (gift purse) filled with money and candy.
This is our Bokjumoni. Each bag had $1 and mini marshmallows in it. I forgot to buy candy and this is what we had in the pantry! :)
To end our journey to Korea, we ate Bulgogi- Korean BBQ beef. We also had some Korean cookies and dessert.
The green cup on the left is filled with chocolate filled squares, the little mushrooms are cookies with a chocolate top, on the right are sweetened puffed rice rolls, on top left is drinkable yogurt and Aloe Vera juice. It sounds weird but was actually really good! It was just Aloe vera juice, aloe vera pulp and sugar. It tasted very fruity!
This is the drinkable yogurt. These are used mostly as a dessert. They are only about 3 inches tall. Very yummy!
Our souvenir pins for our suitcases are clay vases with bamboo.
Next stop on our global journey is Japan!
