first day at namsanwon

After picking up Elisabeth (my partner) from the airport, JM took us to the home. When we arrived, the kids weren't here because they were in school but we got to get ourselves settled and was taken on a tour around the place. And the place is REALLY nice! honestly, i was thinking like worn out floors and dingy rooms (my prejudice) but everything here is so clean and white. Furnitures, floor, tiles, walls are very light and clean... I found out later that the kids are required to clean the rooms twice daily. The kids then slowly started trickling at which point it was mad awkward.

HOWEVER! once we gave out cookies (I baked a couple dozen before leaving home) they were our's for the taking!! muhahaha!! well... not really but a few of the younger boys kept inching over and peering at the container then I got them to talk to me and tell me their names~ then later they asked me to read their only 2 english books.. one about community helpers and another about dinosaurs. The boys would ask me to read and then fight over what was what! haha.. anyway.. they're shutting the internet off now. gtg!
