CSHI for deaf school

Karen and I went to see old school at Canossian school for Hearing Impaired last Saturday (5/3/2005) . Karen just told me that school was usually to named Canossian School for the Deaf. now, they changed the name due to change from Sign Language to Oral School. Karen and I were enter the CSHI and met her old friends. They dont really hug their hugs like USA deaf people. I met her old friends, they are mostly using sign langauge, but I noticed that currently kids use their Coclear Implants and digital hearing Aids. They are using their voice, and alittle sign language. In my mind, what s wrong with them? I wondered, if they are happy to have a communication with their voice and vocbal abused by the Catholican teacher, who forced them to use their voice. If the kids dont listen to Catholican teacher, they will given them a punishment. I dont know what kind of punishment. My friend, Ken Lai and I were walking together to get the foods. Somehow, Ken met his old teacher, I saw old Catholican teacher talked him in her voice, Ken was pretty good catch their voice and not really 100% understand their lipread. The old Catholican teacher seems wanted to talk me, and asked me a few question. I was not interested to talk her. I let Ken Lai takes care himself to communcate with her. Karen had alittle enjoying to see her old teacher and old friends. I think, They are doing okay. but mostly older deafies people use their sign langauge instead of using their voice, I am pretty sure that currenly kids will learn more sign language in the future due to understandable expressional their feeling in deaf language. Do you agree with me?

old teacher and friends.

Korea

I was really sad to leave America. I flew the airplane by the Delta airline from Jacksonville, Florida to Atlanta to Seoul Korea. When I was arrived to Seoul, Korea.

I said, " ok, " my mind says, perfect, i dont have to be worrying to taken to hotel. so I was taken my photographer bag and my backnapper personally. I went to get bus ticket for go to Seoul, Korean(downtown) and it is only 8 dollars. When I arrived to downtown, I saw a tons of seafood around shopping and was looking for a hostel. I asked to taxi driver "where is hostel" The taxi driver said, " I am going to call to them and they are no longer service" (gesture sign langauge) so They tried to help me fully to looking for a hostel. The taxi driver and I was looking for address of the hostel. The taxi driver found it. We entered the hostel. the taxi driver said, this is not hostel, they were moving to other place and talked to other man,m so We drove to new hostel. it seems far away and dont know where it is.
