The first picture I could get of the ONU contingent to the Hanyang summer school program. We love Rachel but we just couldn't find her in time to take the picture! Things are going great - second day of classes - and everyone is having a good time! It rains off and on during the day and it is sooo humid but as you can see everyone is smiling!

As you walk into the bedroom to your right, there are plenty of shelves and a computer for your use with internet access. The keyboard has both Korean and US letters and it takes some getting used to but works fine. You can download programs of your choice on the computer (like Skype, etc.) so you're not locked out in using it. It is a slower Pentium4 so I brought my laptop, saved my work on a flash drive, and transferred files to it. Bring a europeans style adapter and perferrably one that sinks in or has "depth" to it - the socket here go deep into the wall and everything is 220v.


Bedroom accomodations are very comfortable, single room with two beds, there is an adjustable air conditioner in the bedroom and in the living room which makes the entire living experience VERY comfortable.

Accomodations (2)

A view of the living room as you walk in the front door. You are provided with a TV and plenty of floor space, a view outside; to the left is the kitchen (previous view) and to the right is the bedroom (next view).

Accomodations

For those of you who would like to come and teach a class here at Hanyang, the accomodations are excellent. This is a view of the kitchen in my Hanyang provided apartment.

Beginning of Summer School

Monday 29 June:

Everyone made it OK through the first day of classes. It rained very hard this morning but cleared up this afternoon with a temperature of around 30 celsius. Hot and muggy! My Model UN class has 16 sixteen students including my favorite Sheila. I am happy that many of the Korean students are asking questions, and pertinent ones too! There has been quite a bit of construction going on here on camps since last year and it really looks nice.

Once again it's time for Hanyang University to offer summer school classes to students from all over the world. ONU has eight students that are attending this year. Their web page is here:

They have published a picture of me teaching my Model UN class at this address (far right in the center of the page):

This university is amazing, the administration and students are great!
