Visiting an orphanage

If there is ever a time you don't feel like you have everything you want, go visit an orphanage, and I promise you, you'll feel differently. I just got back from visiting one of Korea's many orphanages. I decided to go because one of my old bosses told me if I was ever at Kunsan, I had to go on a trip to the orphanage. I'm so glad that I went. I was smiling the whole time. The kids were great. We brought play do and balls to throw and things to play with and they loved it. These kids weren't complicated. They just wanted to play. Heck I spent half an hour with one of those paper fortune teller things in my hand with a little boy trying to throw play do into the middle of it. It was great and he was just smiling really big, which of course made me smile. Then there was a boy sitting next to me that was an amazing artist. He had an anime book in front of him and pretty much drew a duplicate on his piece of paper. It was really awesome. Yeah, it was out in the middle nowhere between rice paddies, tomatoes, and green onion gardens. But it was great. I'll definitely be going again.
