School trip










August is a holiday month in Korea.
So the last week of July I went in a school trip with the students and the teachers. Unfortunately, Lucie couldn't join us because she still hurts her ankle ...
We left Wednesday morning under the rain. The first day was very hard, specially because our bags were extremely heavy : we had to carry all our food for 4 days.
Of course it was an organic school trip so we ate only organic food, we tried not to waste water (no shower ... ) and we brushed our teeth with salt.
Wednesday we climbed 3 peaks in Jirisan (Yeonhabong, Samsanbong and Tchotaebong).
So Thursday we went down, it was also quite perilous !
We slept in the beautiful Piagol Valley.
Friday was for sure the most difficult day, we climbed the Nogodan peak (1 507 m). We slept in the top and had a lot of fun sharing a dormitory all together.
Finally Saturday we went down to the valley, we finished our trip with a great bath in the river and a delicious ice cream.
I enjoyed a lot this trip. Sharing difficulties and chatting during the walk made me closer to the students. We laughed a lot and always tried to help each other.
Jirisan is a very beautiful place, I enjoyed great landscapes there.
