Seoul....Canada Day times 2....Suncheon

Canada Day has come and gone but I got to celebrate it twice here in Korea. June 25th was the date of the Canada Day Picnic hosted by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea. It was held at a camp ground in Seoul. There were about 800 registered....mostly Canadians but we let some other nationalities in too. There were games, tug of war, posture and spine alignment checks, food , drinks and great music as well as lots of door prizes.

As well as participating in the picnic, I was able to see Janice again. We had a few hours to take the Seoul City Bus tour and Janice pointed out places of interest. We were in the middle of soccermania with World Cup in full swing. The Koreans are avid soccer fans and show their enthusiasm ENTHUSIASTICALLY. There were huge screens in various locations of the city so no one had to miss the games that were usually televised in the middle of the night. I chose to be in bed those nights!!

The second Canada Day celebration took place in Suncheon and I celebrated with some of the teachers from the Canadian Connection group. We got dressed in red and white, painted our faces....some of us even put red makeup on our eyes!! Crazy Canucks!! It was FUN and patriotic!! Who says Canadians aren't patriotic!!

Enjoy the pictures!!
