I’m very happy that I get to have my students participate in Civic Mirror (pretend country game) again this year!  Here’s some info about their countries. The name Unipigland came about as a compromise between a faction that really wanted to call it Unibrowland and a faction that was loyal to the name Spider Pig Ville.  Notice the national animal is an eight-legged unibrowed pig. 🙂

 

We love the park next to our apartment building.  And when you spend enough time there, it transforms the enormous city of Seoul into a small town.  We’ve found that if you spend more than about five minutes there, a teacher from our school is likely to walk by.  (About 20 teachers from our school live in buildings near the park.)  Some days we like to stand on the “Rainbow Bridge” between the two sections of the park.  One day we were looking at the sign below as Ryan was trying to translate it.  A couple teachers came up to say hi and thought it was pretty funny we were spending so much time reading a sign.  Another time we were staring up at some trees looking for cicadas.  Ryan pointed out that we’ll probably become known as “those people who stand around and stare at things in the park.”

Ryan enjoys trying the various cans of mysterious liquid here.  This one was especially… interesting.

One of our favorite places is a little bakery on the first floor of our apartment building.
