Well, I'm seven months into my contract already!

So,  I thought I would state the obvious, I am going to stay for another year!

I am thoroughly enjoying my time over here, and the experience is something that I am not quite ready to end just yet.  I am hoping to move to Daejeon, it's a bigger city about an hour and a half southwest of where I am currently.

Not too many exciting adventures as of late, other than that whole Singapore trip.  I am hoping to go to Seoul as a tourist once the weather is a little warmer.  I have been there quite a few times, but haven't gone to any of the palaces or anything, so I definitely want to check all of that out!

School is still going well and I love my little nuggets more and more each day, I am not looking forward to have to say goodbye to them, though I still do have a bit of time left, so no need to get sappy just yet!

My Korean is improving all the time, whether it is from my students teaching me or my weekly meetings with my Korean friend who is teaching me, it is always fun to use it and shock the locals.  I am able to read in Korean now as well which is pretty fun!  Every sign I see I try to sound out, I am certainly not perfect yet, but it is coming along.

Lola is also doing well, and will not be making the trip home with me the first go around. I have several friends hoping to take her off my hands while I am home, so it's good to know that she will be taken care of.

Other than that there is not too much going on, I have a four day weekend that I plan on spending in Seosan just hanging out and relaxing.

Oh, and here is a picture of Lola in a really cute shirt I bought her!

Happy Lunar New Year!

: )

so, I went on a little vacation.

and it was wonderful!

Singapore is such a wonderful country!  It is absolutely gorgeous, the people are wonderful and there is so much culture and variety.

Holly, who is one of my closest friends here, and I left Seosan around noon on Christmas Eve and got to the airport four hours before our flight took off, a little earlier than we would have liked but we did get to catch a K-pop (Korean Pop) performance of Grease!

It was, well, not quite the Grease I am used to, but entertaining nonetheless!

Once we got on the plane we were only in the air for about two hours to our first layover in Bejing.  Language barriers made security interesting, as they could not fully understand what my insulin pump was or why I would be carrying juice with me, but after that was over we found an airport lounge and had a few drinks. 

The first was probably one of the worst bloody marys I have ever had...oh well!

Next was a beer, with flavor!

Here is the lounge, it really didn't look that cool, but the flash on my camera makes it look much more appealing than it really was.

happy new year!

So, I am back from Singapore and it was AMAZING! But, I don't have enough time to post about that right now, so here is a link of my favorite little nuggets singing at the English Festival a few weeks ago.
Enjoy!

English Festival Song

p.s. I am really sorry that you can probably hear me singing...
