Jeong Ho and I met at the CIES building today. We watched the Women's World Cup and played chess. Jeong Ho asked me about American schools, their mascots, and events. We had both had field days in middle and elementary school. He went to elementary school in America, and then went to middle and high school in South Korea. He said that his high school mascot was a flower and a tree which was very different from my high school which was a cougar. He was surprised to hear that prom was held in a hotel instead of the school gym as he was expecting from television. Even the cars in school parking lots were different. At my school, it wasn't unusual to see expensive cars driven by the students, but Jeong Ho said that in South Korea most students bought their own cars and they were much cheaper than their teachers' cars.
