In keeping with my New Year's Resolution to become better involved with my Korean community, I finally fulfilled one of my long-held ambitions to participate in the WWOOF program. WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. The program began in England in 1971 in the aims of providing London-dwellers with the opportunity to get involved in the organic farming activities in the countryside. The program became increasingly popular and is now an international phenomenon.

I was feeling a little grumpy Wednesday morning about having to go to work a little over three hours early without any change in pay, but my kindie kids quickly melted that bad mood with minutes like they always do. We were going on our first field trip of the year, to the National Folk Museum of Korea and the National Children's Museum, both situated at Gyeongbokgung (Gyeongbok Palace) in the Jongno area of Seoul (an area known for its many traditional sites and maintained dedication to Korean culture.)
