Hyechon University

Hello everyone! This past week we had the pleasure to have a group from the Hyechon University in Korean joining us for a few days to experience the beautiful island of Maui. They got to experience the culture first hand and had the chance to explore all around the island. They were only here for a few days, but they made the most out of their time here enjoying each day to its fullest.

The students were brimming with tons of great energy and enthusiasm. They really looked forward to all of our activities and absorbed everything that Maui had to offer. Words can do no justice to describe the fun they got to experience, so check out all of the pictures and you can see for yourself. Pictures really do say a 1000 words!

Today's Pidgin English word is really easy! You'll probably remember it with no effort at all. The word is "chicken skin." You have probably heard the word "goosebumps" before, which are the bumps on your skin that comes up when you get scared. "Chicken skin" means the exact same thing. I guess we prefer chickens to geese here in Hawaii! Actually, the Japanese word for goosebumps is "torihada," which translates to chicken skin (tori = chicken, hada = skin). So anytime you get that creepy feeling from seeing seeing something scary or disturbing, you can say that you have chicken skin!

Okay folks! That's all the time I have for this blog but I'll be seeing you all again very soon! Aloha!
