Only just catching up with yesterday: In the morning we woke up with some toast and tangerines from Lotte Mart, then headed up the steep incline to Yeomyung. There was some hurried unpacking of suitcases and organizing of materials before the students started trickling in. I was relieved to see that the preserved frogs forContinue reading “1/6 Day 1”
