Sports Day

Friday was sports day at my school.  The weather cleared up just in time for a magnificent day.  The festivities were held at Shilla University, about a 10 minute drive from our school.  Here are some photo highlights of the day.

We jumped rope.  The guy is my counterpart foreign English teacher for the freshman.  He was very impressive at jump rope.

You'll notice the adorable matching shirts that each homeroom picked out for the day.

I still haven't figured out if these bows are worn to be silly or not.  I've seen women my age wearing these walking down the street.

There was a rousing game of kickball.

Tug-a-war.

This is me practicing my Korean hacky-sack.  

Probably the strangest activity was as a homeroom they raced from one end of the field to the other walking on each other's backs.

As soon as your back was walked on, you moved to the front of the line to continue the chain.

Here  are some of my students.
