The quote of the day happened during our break in class. I went to the cafe in the building and sat down with Sul-ki and Bennoit. Bennoit is leaving on Saturday! Sul-ki and I talked about church and me going with her (this is what our conversations are always about). Then I decided to change the subject and see how she did outside her comfort zone.
Me: Sul-ki, are you from North or South Korea?
Sulki: SOUTH!!!
Bennoit and I laughed because it was probably the most perfect reaction I could have ever hoped for.
I slept in a bit and only got ready so that I could meet up with Marta and Eva for lunch at a sushi place. Aside from Teremok’s and general stores that read “Супөр Маркөт“, the other most noticeable place to get food is a sushi bar. We ate sushi and all took out our workbooks and were practicing. Our waiter thought we were precious, and advised us to come back soon.
I think the highlight of my day was finding out that Caroline, one of the Canadian students, is really interested in visiting an orphanage. I had been looking to originally make my trip here revolve around working with orphanages (I thought maybe learning the languge would be a better thing to do first...), so I was really excited to plan something with her. We decided to use our respective contacts, mine being Sul-ki and her church and Caroline's being her host mom, to get as much information as possible about making a trip for the following week. The Canadians that have been in my class are departing Russia on July 5th, so only one more week of the Kannucks!
