Coming up soon is the Turtle Ship Festival. It celebrates Admiral Yi Sun Shin (이순신) and the Turtle Ship (거북선). The ships were used as warships during the Jeoseon Dynasty (15th century - 19th century). Admiral Yi was credited with the design of the ship. They were first used during the Japanese conflict in the late 1500s.
Every year there is a big festival where you can go aboard a turtle ship and they build scaled-down replicas in the area where the festival is held. My first year here, there was a small ship being built with soda cans! It was pretty cool.


Here are a few other things I've been up to the past few days:
Made a "My Style Summer" puzzle with my after school extra class. Each kid made a piece and they look pretty cool together!
Some nice flowers that just popped up at school!
I made orange juice! Much better than bottled because I don't usually like how sweet it.
