Day 399: First Time Out

Today was my first Field Trip Day with The Parrots: Season 2 and I was kinda nervous about it. Taking 12 Preschoolers out into the real world and outside the safety of the classroom is always kinda nerve-racking. And with this being our first time all out together, who knows how they're gonna react when those kids get out into the wild open lands of Ilsan with nothing but the polluted wind in their hair and a yellow and black POLY backpack on their backs!

Overall it actually went quite well. The field trip was out in Hwajeong to see a play - in Korean. Seems kinda weird that we're an *English* school and we're taking the kids to see a *Korean* play but hey it's a morning outside of work so I'm not going to complain. The theatre was in the top floor of a giant department store and was a Korean remake of the book/movie The Little Princess. I'm not familiar with this story but from what my coworkers said, (who have all seen the movie,) it was pretty bad. The kids loved it anyways, despite how budget and lame it appeared to us. It was actually quite cute to see some of them yelling out at the bad guys on the stage and getting all excited whenever there was a little bit of drama.

We made it back to POLY safe and sound, all 12 of the little rugrats accounted for. They were starved and exhausted by the time we made it back to school, and then it was time to get them ready for home. Nice!
