Lunar New Year

Today we celebrated Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) at LCI. All of the Kinder students came dressed in their Hanboks, traditional Korean clothing. We spent the day taking pictures and playing. After lunch all of the students bowed to us and told us Happy New Year. Respecting your elders is very important in Korea so they did this as a sign of respect. After they each bowed, we gave them 1,000 Korean Won (about 90 cents). They were all so excited to show off their Hanboks to their friends and the teachers.
