Preparations

This is my first blog post. I hope to be able to keep this updated with all things to do with my trip to South Korea. Including interesting facts, stories, and a record of my own reflections.

I'm starting this blog during the beginning of the last week at church before my Sabbatical. This week includes sorting things out, meetings, preparation for a wedding, and the Sunday service. I am also looking forward to my trip to Korea in two weeks time.

Here are some of things I've been doing to prepare for the trip.

1. Practicing the art of using chopsticks...

 

 

 

 

2. Learning a couple of words.... (edited)

 

1. Hello =   Anyounghaseyo (polite)

 

2. Thank you very much = kamsahamnida

 

3. Goodbye = anyounghigaseyo (polite)

 

4. Pastor = Mokanim

 

 

3. Currency....

 

 

 

 

Currently there are 1713.79 Korean won to the pound.

 

 

 Already so much to take in, but very much looking forward to this new cultural experience.
