           So, these are basically the things that the participants have to do throughout the competition. The numbers might be small, but the amount of work and effort that the participants have to put in each and every task are tremendous!














*us filming for our UCC*

*Mr. Soongki treats us ice cream!*
*other teams playing with our puppets ;)*

*more brainstorming session*

           Monitoring the participants throughout the content development sessions has opened my eyes about the importance of letting the students to have enough time to develop and complete their school homework/materials. We can't expect our students to deliver good performance if we didn't give them enough time and support. *take note of that, Kamilah*
          Moving on to the highlight of the day - I was invited by a Korean teacher to have a drink with teachers from other countries (i.e. Republic of Sakha, Russia). We had a really long talk about education in our countries, cultures and one of the most highlighted topics of the night was regarding religions. I guess they are very curious about why Muslims women have to wear scarfs; isn't it restricting us from doing our daily chores, why I can't drink beer (they actually provided me with orange juice :D) and eat pork, why do we fast during Ramadhan and many more. Tried to answer all questions wholeheartedly, hoping that they will understand Islam more and based on their responses, I believe that they now have different perspectives on Islam, Alhamdulillah. *even my students are treated differently now ;)*
          That's all for the 3rd day. Will recap what has happened today (1st Sept), tomorrow.
Annyeong hi gye seyo!
