Korean Interns

For the past three years, we have had the privilege of hosting Korean college students. They are University students who come to America and intern at various schools in the community. They live with families for one or two months. This year we got 2 girls. (because Tori is away at SUU). Their names are Jung and Soya. They are sweet and cute girls. Jung has an especially fun loving personality. She is always laughing and game for any adventure. Soya is a little more shy and reserved. And she is afraid of dogs. She backs away from Spice anytime he is near her. ( I mean really, who could possibly be afraid of that old, mellow dog who rarely barks). It is really great to be a host family. It is a fun opportunity for our kids to experience different cultures and people.

We took them out for frozen yogurt. They especially liked the free samples. They drew this cute picture of them flying from Korea  on the chalkbard by our table. They seem to like most American food. Jung usually goes back for seconds and sometimes thirds. This is not typical of any of the interns we have had before. I love it! haha! One funny thing : They decide to go for a walk the morning after they arrived, just around the neighborhood. When they returned I asked them how their walk was. They said good but everyone was swearing at them. I said "really?!" with a confused look on my face. (this would be very unusual here in St.George where most people are very friendly). A few minutes later they returned from their rooms and said they had made a mistake. They looked up the word swearing and realized their mistake. They had meant to say staring, but got the words mixed up. We had a good laugh about it.  I wonder if we will ever make it to Korea some day.
