So tonight was our "family festival" and I have been working really hard to prefect the children's songs and what not to ensure they look amazing in front of their families. they have me introducing the children... which is akward because NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!!! So today was my second day doing this nonsense and so i started getting creative. as the child was coming up to the mic to speak I said "This lovely young man comes to us from Changwon please if I could get some applause for the non-flammable OWEN" every one is clapping and Andrew and Sunny are on the floor in the back of the room laughing hysterically... i guess i left my mark!! Welcome to Korea, where i can call a child Non-flammable and still get applause. I mean not to say that it’s not a good thing... i would want my children flame retardant... but still!! So I get to do this again tomorrow, and let’s see what happens!! For the record I’m doing this for the food!! The food that they are providing for us is 4 massive tables of the best foods I have had in Korea!! I’m having a blast and I get to eat well!! Tomorrow I get to do a part of my speech in Korean, that should be entertaining for the parents!
