RE: Look a little deeper (무궁화) 君子之國，地方千里，多木槿之華
Such a beautiful flower @mineopoly ... and I loved watching the kiddos playing that game. I played 'red light, green light' as a child. And what it is about watching little humans running around enjoying life? That put the biggest smile on my face. They are so freaking cute.
You took some stunning pictures and I love what you did with that last one!!
Another beautiful poem!! I have been quite busy my friend... I hope all is well with you!
Thank you @monchhichi23,
This flower has a special meaning to me and even more since I came to Korea. I was introduced to this game twenty years ago as I saw kids playing it in the hallway and outside in Korea. Today kids are playing "Battle Ground" in the hallway on their cell phones after school. There is not much I can do for them. I use a nanny app on my kid's devices and I think all parents should because they really can't control it themselves.
One of the greatest joys in life is to see a child really play and too see them play independently is an even greater joy for me. Korean students are mostly directed what to do so every moment I have I try to guide them to independent thought and responsibility. A lot of this is through games. I am teaching this summer and wouldn't trade it for the world. This Monday the whole class will be inside the gym.
I want to share all parts of Korea with you, the beautiful ones as well as the grungy ones. I like to play with pictures if I have time.
I know you are busy. Actually I get a Vacation from the 4th and I think I will be more busy on vacation than I ever was before.
Take it easy on the big easy.
Laissez les bon temps rouler
