*sorry for my 'easy english' sorry if there is any grammar mistakes*
soo~
back to Wednesday, a.k.a my second day in S.Korea I went farming !!!
yes!!! like the playst*tion game called Harvest Moon *used to played it a lot when I was a kid* it was so much fun!!!
so~ THANKS TO WWOF KOREA for held the event
the event called "Get Your Hands Dirty, Eat Local" by wwof Korea and Slow Food Asia
it was my first time to attend an event by wwof, and I can say nothing but it was amazing! I was introduced to wwof by myself actually *slaps*
no no.. so you guys have to know that I WANNA GO TO JAPAN SO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~O~ BAD
and as a *cough* poor student I mean I have no income but from my parent ;_: I have to find a way to travel in a smart way and also with a small budget, and I found that we can do a voluntary work, and blablabla lulu lala... I find this 'WWOF'
but! as for now my chance is to come to Korea *praise to God* and I want to travel in different way, and thanks God for lead my way into this event
so what its Get Your Hands Dirty, Eat Local is? it's an event by wwof, which we become a one day farmer! mine was at Hansol farm
-We were picking strawberries because summer is coming, so we have to be in hurry, or the strawberries taste might change
-and then, picking eggs it was pretty sad actually kkk, when I entered one of the chicken coop, and about to picked the egg, the hen made a 'crying voice' oooh, sorry mama hen ;__;
-after that I was moving soil into chicken coop, I guess that was the hardest thing *since I am not a sporty kind person*, until now, the skin around my arm still blue-ish ;_; BUT NO NO NO, it was all worth it!!!
-and the last but not the least planting some plant, which Mr. Byungsoo couldn't name it in English, he said it's a plant which is use as one of a ingredients in Korea's traditional candy or something
and the best part was, I gained a lot of friends, from several countries, we shared some conversation, and it was so cool~ cause we talked about cool topics kkk, how everyone have their own live goals, visions and missions, so I can look into mine, and adjust it, and hopefully we can be a person which able to make the world into a better a place
and also it was a pleasure to meet Mr. Byungsoo he is such an inspiring person, how he traveled around the world, and learned a lot of things, and now he is living in his farm, for the future of the next generation and organic farming!
so have you checked your future goal, will it affect the future generation? of course in a good way :D~ let's make the world or at least the place we live into a better place...
Thank You wwof Korea, Thank You Mr. Byungsoo and Family, Thank You Kota-san, Minjoo-sshi, Wendy, Sean, GwangJae, Unniedeul JeongHee and JiEun, Ben, Soyeon, Dan, DANBI~ and all of the US-army soldiers
