Summer Camp - Dodgeball

Dodgeball (an actual sport) was one the Koreans chose a few times. Although it was unlike any game of dodgeball ever played in North America, it wasn't too bad. We thought it was safe to assume that Korea had taken dodgeball and ruined it, like they do with many things, but their version was actually surprisingly good. It was played by pitting two teams against each other using the volleyball lines in the gym. When a player got out, they would move to the perimeter of the opposing team's side, where they could still throw the ball. Those people also became in charge of getting the balls when they were thrown out of the court, which kept the game moving smoothly. And, near the end of the game, it got exciting because all the remaining players were surrounded by the other team. It was a pretty good addition to the game. The only downside to dodgeball was that it was played in the gym that had no A/C. No matter how fun a game may be, all joy is lost when it's played in a sweltering, muggy arena.

Girl on girl action!

This is one of the volunteers at the camp. Most were students of the university that was hosting our camp, but this girl was not. We're not sure how she got involved with it, but she was weird. Also, you'd think the volunteers at an English camp would be students studying English, but no. None of them spoke a word of the language.

Leo Class

*During this period, Andrew might have gotten a little obsessive trying to capture a good action shot of a student throwing the ball, so the next few pictures are basically the same... In this photo it looks like this kid is launching the ball at the opposing team, but he actually couldn't throw the ball at all. He threw like a girl.


We hated this little b***h. At first we thought she was cute because she was tiny and competitive, but as soon as she opened her dirty little trap all cuteness disappeared. She had the worst attitude. In class she would tell us 'no' and refuse to work. She was awful. By the end of camp, all the teachers wanted to punch her. Luckily, Andrew did not loose control at this camp and push her down and yell at her like he did at his school's winter camp!


Actually, during this game she took a ball to the face which put her out of the game. It's terrible to say, but her tears were a small victory for Andrew... They were the tears he wished to inflict.


(For the record: Andrew does like children and [for the most part] does not wish to harm any of them, although it may sound differently on this blog.)
