4 May 2009Here are some very, very cute Korean kids. I was on my way to hiking at Achasan Mountain walked past this schoolyard with hundreds of kids chanting and laughing. I discovered it was Korean Field Day. All the kids are wearing different colored shirts to represent their class. I went right into the crowd and got some good footage.
The video above is a dance routine the kids recited in front of their parents. I panned the camera so that you can see their “conductor” lead them.
Following the dance routine, some adults (not sure if they were teachers, but guessing they’re parents) participated in a relay race around the schoolyard track. The kids were going crazy.
Kimchi Soup is a blog journal managed by a Korean-American-Jewish adoptee (this is not a joke). Its sole purpose is to document the adventures of the author's return to Korea and to update his family and friends.
The author of this blog journal was adopted form Korea at the age of 6. He was adopted and raised by a Jewish-American family (not a joke). The purpose of his extended return trip to Korea is to learn more about his birth-family history, learn the Korean language, and immerse himself in daily Korean life to fully experience true Korean culture.
