Today was the start of my week long English camp. It was odd being in a room of kids younger than 6th grade. They were a little different. Unlike normal school, I'm in the room by myself. That freaked me out a bit because I'm not used to that. It wasn't horrid and in some ways it's kind of fun. The kids were mostly good, but I don't know if that's because it's that it was new to them.
I kind of like the energy of the younger kids. Generally they were better behaved than my usual middle school kids. What was odd was that I could give instructions in English and they mostly got it. That NEVER happens with the older kids. But from my understanding, the kids in the camp were picked because they are BETTER at English than usual.
Either way, 4 days to go.
Because it was such a short day, I was downtown around 1pm and I was shocked at the number of elderly folk. They are EVERYWHERE!! I was in the mall above Banwoldang Station and they were just sitting on every bench. I have seen random old people just sitting in this country but it's odd to see the massive numbers of them out and about. They generally do nothing. . . just sit in groups or on benches and talk to each other. That is odd compared to back home.
Because I'm so used to being at school during the day, It's a little odd to suddenly have time on my hands. I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself because I think it's a waste to go home and sit in my apartment. I pretty much just came home after doing some light exploring and went to sleep. . . . untlil 11 at night! THAT'S JUST SICK!
