And They're Off!!

The bags are packed! For the next 10 days or so, Ag Education students from both Penn State and The University of Florida are embarking on the Agricultural Education experience of a Lifetime! They are traveling to Seoul, South Korea to learn how Agricultural Education occurs outside of the United States. They even have their own blog to talk about the experience: http://teachagkorea.blogspot.kr/

Of course, they just made it to Seoul at about 6AM this morning (after leaving State College at 6AM yesterday) and promptly went to dinner at their hotel. Rumor has it that many of them even ate with chopsticks for the first time and no one starved (Food was a major concern for many of the students).
Also the students have had an interesting time figuring out the amenities of Korean life - such as the high-tech toilet in their hotel rooms.  Apparently it took 2 students and 10 minutes to figure out how to flush it. Ahh the joys of international travel!
