This year our Choir group, "The Interlude", went to Seoul Foreign school for the APAC Choir festival. Under the direction of our guest conductor Dr. Timothy Peter, all 6 schools were able to come together and put on a great concert at the end of the week. I would love to be able to say that the three days I spent in Seoul were mind numbingly culturaly stimulating, but I honestly did not feel much of a difference between Japan and Korea (Let the bashing begin...) I felt like the only difference was that the signs, billboards and posters were replaced with kanji's I could not recognize (Let furthermore bashing begin...)
But honestly, I did not feel as though I was in a foreign country.

Here are a select number of photos from the 3 days.

The trip was great. Got some seaweed, got some kimchi, put on a concert, who could complain?
