Friday started off being very good indeed. A meeting with the people organising the three week camp in Korea for Brisbane home stays went well. They want me to design the orientation program for three hours per day from July 17 until August 2. A mixture of lectures and tutorials plus workshops on Australian culture, schooling, homes and diet. Around 40 of the 300 students aged 8-12 will come directly to Brisbane following the 3 week camp. The remainder possibly will come on later home stay programs in Brisbane. Now all I have to do is get the three weeks leave from my employer Brisbane Catholic Education. Here's hoping.
Later five friends joined us for coffee at a favourite coffee house nearby, then home for drinks and dinner. We are all meeting up again this Wednesday for an Anzac Day breakfast at one of their homes. Anzac Day is a national holiday to remember the fallen in all conflicts, our sort of Remembrance or Veterans Day. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.
