Some Random Bits of Information Part II

On Wednesday, I went on a boat ride on the Han River with a bunch of international students. The international program put together a free ride for the first 28 students who responded.
We stopped at an island. The water is cleaned through the aquatic plants.
I went to see the babies at Eastern Child Welfare Society on Thursday. It's the agency that I was adopted through. I must say, those babies are adorable. Simon came with me, and he pretty much had a great time talking in Dutch and Korean to the babies. In the nursery, I met a couple from Minneapolis that are adopting a baby. They were so nervous, because it's their first child. I also filled out a form about being an escort. The guy said that it was unlikely that they'd need my help, since more and more parents are coming to Korea to get their children.

This is Simon holding YuTae, who passed out shortly after he was held.

Sarah and Cindy -both Korean adoptees- are here now. I met with them yesterday for dinner. They brought me reeses peanut butter cups, so I'm pretty excited about that.

It's difficult to believe that the semester is coming to a close so quickly. Now, I just need to study like crazy for my Korean final. It's becoming a bit more difficult to study, since the weather is nice most of the time. Although, It's been a humid and hazy for the last few days.
