So Seth and I have changed jobs and now are teachers in the public school system in the same city as last year. I know that we have been really bad at blogging but I'm hoping with all the future desk warmming that we will be doing we can blog more and keep up with our life. Today during school I had a firedrill during my extra school class. Here I am in this classroom with 7 year olds that only know a few words in english and an announcement comes on the interc...

So today we went to an international event. The Rock Climbing World Cup! Seth and I got into rock climbing when we were engaged and we have loved it ever since. We didn't know if they had rock walls in Korea but we brought our gear but not our rope, which we regret now. This outside climbing wall is only a 30 min walk from our apartment and its free! Now its too cold to climb so we will just have to wait till the spring to start climbing again. Seth first spott...

So a last week we went out with our co workers to dinner after work.

So we go and they are serving the most interesting dish. Its a soup! Now I'm not a big fan of soups here, the ones I have tried are either too spicy or cold. But it was good! They bring out this big pot with a...

Thats not including all the waygooks (Korean for forgiener) traveling because they got a long weekend to travel. All those people moving in such a small country e...

So this past Sunday, before we went to church at 2:30, Seth and I went to a speed boat race at Peace Park here in Mokpo. It was fun to explore and look around the city a little more with Seth at my side. We didnt know when it started so we just planned on being at the waterfront around 12:00. We set off to walking towards the area in a different direction than we usually go. Its a good thing because we discovered a new part of the waterfront. It was around noon ...
