Well my grandad told me today I have a once in a life time chance to go to Korea all expenses paid. It is open to grandchildren of soldiers who fought during the Korean War. It will be a draw at the end of the day with 140 people from 6 contries going who all will be students from age 17-19. Whilst there I will get to visit some historic war sites, visit the graves etc
Neadless to say i'm very looking forward to it and hope I get picked.
