Where to Begin?

Cory and I just returned from an amazing, blessed 3 weeks. We spent 11 days in Australia and 11 days in New Zealand. I am not able to wax eloquent, but want to begin to share our adventure with you. And what an adventure our lives have been!
Cory sure named this blog well!

We flew from Seoul to Sydney and then caught another flight up to Cairns. We really wanted to dive the Great Barrier Reef which is what led us to the Northeastern coasts. When we arrived at the airport we found a backpacker hostel, took a little walk towards town, and ended up sleeping most of the next day. Perhaps that was just catching up after a busy semester?

We had no specific plans or reservations on this trip - a very new way for me to travel - and decided to rent a Harley for a day. It seemed like a great way for us to explore the region we were in for just a few days - so Cory quickly adjusted to driving on the left side of the road and we were off exploring.

Why Don't They Just Ask Someone How to Spell It?

These signs are all over Seoul. Is it that hard to check the internet for spelling before you spend the money to make these?

My Friend

This guy is in one of my 5th grade classes. He's somewhat of a special needs kid but he enjoys English class. Well, he started to enjoy class when I called attention to the page number in Korean. He thinks it's so awesome when I do it that he remembers the page number for the next two days or until the next time he comes to class when I do it again. He high-fives me in the hall and waits for me outside the bathroom after lunch. It's pretty cool to have a little friend in school. He hasn't told me his name yet, but I'll get it out of him sooner or later. (He doesn't understand English very well, haha. I guess I'm doing a great job eh?)

Ummm,

Not sure why, but sure. Two thumbs up from me!

GO PMS!!

One More Year

Happy Anniversary to my Mom and Dad! They will celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary this week. It's hard to believe I have lived out of the country for 6 years now, and being SO far away from family doesn't get any easier. But I'm sure that my brothers and I are all thankful for Mom and Dad and wish 36 more wonderful years for them! :)

Today marked the last day of my English Drama Camp. It was quite an experience preparing and pulling it off, as I am not very talented or experienced when it comes to acting. I am not great with a/v stuff but I managed to organize some of the video clips from this week. Check out the "Drama Club" tab on The Nangmin Times, the English webzine I run at my school.

On a different note, Cory and I visited the Korean Immigration office this past week. We have extended our visas for another year and signed new contracts with our current schools. So, we'll have plenty more stories to tell from Korea!
