Terelj National Park with the English Department Staff

Friday afternoon the Language Education Institute (LEI) all went on an overnight trip to Terelj National Park. We had a blast! We went to get to know each other better and have some rest and relaxation together. As I have written before, the atmosphere in the LEI office is great. We are thinking of putting up a banner in the office that says "LEI: the happiest place at MIU" !! All the teachers work hard, know their subjects well, and teach well. And they also get along so well.

The park is huge. There are many camps in it. We arrived in time for a short climb up a mountain, then had dinner, and afterward spent the evening eating and playing games. The next morning some of us rode horses for over an hour. Super! But we were sore for a few days afterward! We all stayed a bit longer at the park and then headed back to the city. We are already planning another trip there... :)
