Well, I'm back in the UK!!! I've been back now about 10 days and thought it time to add my final Korea entry for the last few days I spent there. I am going to try and keep this fairly brief, but we'll see how it goes! My final weekend was mostly spent getting ready for the new teacher arriving (cleaning the apartment etc) and getting my things organised for leaving on the Thursday. On Monday, Charlie (the new teacher) arrived part way through my teaching day...

This month has been a pretty quiet month - I have been to some new and interesting places on the weekends this month, but things at school have been pretty quiet and, well, normal - not a bad thing, but it doesn't give me as much to write about!! YEOUIDO PARK: The first proper weekend...

Well another month has flown by and I am yet another month closer to coming back home. This month has been pretty quiet overall and the weather generally miserable, meaning weekend excursions have been less appealing. To be honest, if it hadn't been for the last week or so this would be the shortest blog I have ever written, however the last part of the month has been quite interesting!
