Korea





When I told my Indonesian colleagues that I was heading to Korea for a month-long contract they asked me: "So Miss Leslie, will you be visiting North Korea and teaching them about team building and the 4 Key Concepts (Team, Communication, Trust & Creativity)?" Wow, I thought, these people have way too much faith in me and my abilities!

No, I went to boring old South Korea... no missiles, no nuclear development and no big posturing national leaders. Instead I worked with a wonderfully progressive and friendly International school in the Seoul area, supporting and developing their outdoor education program.

Yummy... The kimchi! Everyday...

The Welcome Back committee! 

I even had some time to visit our good friends, K & B and their 2 great kids in Seoul!
Beautiful Jirisan National Park.
The Korean BBQ was very delicious.
Students all dressed up for their temple-stay experience.

May 17 was Buddha's birthday, so the temples were beautifully decorated
