Seoul, South Korea and Dalian, China

Spring break was a lot of fun, as well as a lot of work, this year. Our high school choir, including Evan, was invited to sing in Dalian, China. Several school officials and city officials went and met with business and municipal officials there also. The first picture is of Dad, Margaret and Ian on the Friendship Bridge in Dalian. The next picture is of Ian and Evan in front of the World Cup Soccer Stadium in Seoul, South Korea (we had a 7-hour layover there and decided to see the city). The next picture was taken at the Tiger Park (similar to our Sea World) in Dalian, with Grammie and Ian and a beluga whale. Our students had been invited to sing there as part of business exchange. The final picture is our students doing an impromptu song for a crowd at the park. Dalian is in the northern part of China on the coast - similar to Monterey in climate. They don't see a lot of Americans in this part of China and thus we gathered quite a crowd around us. Even though we had a tour guide, making sure that students were in the right place at the right time, was exhausting.
