Orphanage Visit







Our squadron takes time out every weekend to go visit a local orphanage in Kunsan City. Usually, about 5-6 guys head over there for a few hours to play with the kids and try to help out with stuff there.
It was my first visit today--and what an experience it was. The kids were great. I'm surprised at how respectful and mannerly the Korean kids are. It really is different than the U.S.
The orphanage is set up sort of like a compound. There are "dorm" type buildings that circle a playground. Also, there's a big music room upstairs in the main building. Apparently, playing the drums is an important part of Korean culture. Today, the kids put on a show for us...and they were awesome! Not sure what the drums they play are called...but they sounded great. Following that, we had a game of soccer: USA vs Korea. They were good....enough said.

Volverse a partir de vacaciones rápidas de la raya vertical de la excursión al desierto. Colgado hacia fuera con algunos amigos y volverse a la derecha antes de la semana del trabajo. El fin de semana fue por apenas demasiado rápido. Teniendo demasiada diversión el practicar surf en el océano y el practicar surf de la red para . -- que es mi obsesión más última. Vaya a continuación, ría si usted desea, pero este un sitio realmente remató hacia fuera en la información y las remisiones a otra parte que eran realmente de mérito. De todas formas, más adelante.

I thought you were joking when you said you'd have to visit an orphanage to build up your application.

Should have known better!

Wow, your blog is fascinating! It's especially interesting to me since I'm dreading the 28th when my brother flies out to bootcamp (I'm so proud of him, but sure will hate the separation!). And this post about your visit to the orphanage makes me go "Awww!" :) What a neat opportunity.

Thanks for your comment on my blog. God bless!
