Taekwondo, Cycling and School

Hello :)

So as always ^^ I am doing good ^^ I do have bad mornings or bad moments in between but all in all I am doing good ^^ fine or even more than that ^^

So I had school the last week. I did a English listening test. That was very easy. If the answers had been in English as well I would have done perfectly, but since only 8 out of the 20 questions were in English I was only sure about those. For the others I searched for one or two words that i understood (from the Korean) and tried to answer. I got 15 right in total xD So you see how easy it was for me. But I guess I did better than a few of my classmates because they said it was hard. My test won't be counted though. I think ^^
On Thursday we got Food and something to drink, from the school because it was the school's aniversary on friday, which meant a day off for me. Or a morning, because I had korean classes. I spent that morning with sleeping in and doing my morning routine veeeery slowly ^^
(sorry for the bad picture, but I am not even allowed to have my phone during classes, so taking a picture was not that easy ^^)


So on Tuesday we had our first TaekwonDo lesson. Our Teacher speaks a mixture between Spanish, Korean and English with us. Since I speak all three languages I was asked to translate. But I am not good enough at Korean yet to translate it good, but i understand the important parts and can help a little on both sides. ^^ We also have 5 assistants who are my age and help us with doing the movements right. So from our group the girls are way better than our boys. ^^

On Friday and Saturday I was with my friends. Once to the cinema and the other time to Nampodong ^^

The last thing i did was on Sunday. I woke up in the morning and 15minutes later I found myself in the car driving to Nakdong river. Where a bunch of college students was wearing green longsleeved shirts and standing in lines. I got a green shirt myself, was told to stand in a line. I slowly figured out what it was all about. But not really ^^ We were supposed to cycle 30 kilometers and that was the task, whatever the reason was. Before we started we warmed up. All together. I was stretching with a university student, whom I have never met. It was fun, but a little awkward ^^
It was fun to ride a bike again. The distance was not the problem the people were. A few of them did not know how properly ride a bike, which was annoying. However it was fun. Especially since I came back as the third one ^^ which was quite surprising ^^ since there were a lot of guys and girls who are better in shape than me ^^
While i was waiting for my family to arrive 3 guys came up to me and asked if they could take a picture with me ^^ I felt a bit famous ^^ especially because they did not even ask for my name or tell me theirs. When I agreed they were really excited and happy. So yey ^^ I am a foreinger :)
And now a family picture ^^ My host brother, his girlfriend, my host mother and me ^^ <3

Soo all the best <3
