On the pearl area, we were finishing up the pearl itself and cleaning the stone floor and walls off dirt and cement. On the back of the pearl portion of the park, the weed planters were planting grass. To hold the grass, they used chopsticks and stuck them on the ground. On the spiral, we were pouring reddish brown cement and the sand from Jeju beach (which consists of small black stones from volcano). Also the flag poles were planted today.

Overview
The GM stoneThe lunch was bibimbap with cold cucumber/seaweed soup. This soup is very refreshing after hard work in the scorching weather.
Bee Juseyo (this bee never moved while we poured water into cups)
Saying goodbye/thank you to the women divers who provided us with lunch for the past three weeksIn the afternoon, we continued to work on the pearl and spiral, but we were also constructing the shed house with a bench near the entrance of the park. The woods were cedar and smelled very nice.
Happy Jim as the construction comes to the end
Group ShotIt has been hard and hot four weeks, I think everyone worked so hard until this last day of labor. But the park is unbelievably complete. Who would have believed we would conceptualize, design, model, and build a park with 30 students within four weeks? We set a deadline, and we didn't question or stop for a moment. We kept pushing and pushing without hesitating. I am very proud of our dedication and the effort.
Exhausted in the bus on the way back to our dormitory
The dinner was shabu shabu for the third time. I think shabu shabu is everyone’s favorite meal, and also at this restaurant we could get free ice cream!
Tomorrow is our completion ceremony day. I cannot wait!
