August Adventures

So, let's see where to start. I believe I am getting worse and worse at this blogging as the months roll by. My contract officially ends in about 6 weeks which is crazy to think about! I do believe though that I might stay here until the end of November...finish out the term, deal with some business that needs to be taken care of, etc... :) I'm sure the time will fly by regardless and I'll be home before I know it. Amazing how fast time goes...


Well About a month ago, some of my girlfriends and I went out East for the weekend. We were able to play some soccer, do some water sports, and, of course, find time to eat some great Korean BBQ... :) Yeah for galbi!

It was nice to get away from Incheon and see some nice green grass...rice fields....new faces... refreshing.

I'm realizing how I'm not a city girl at heart...the pollution is hurtin the lungs...the acid rain is hurtin the hair line...the smoking...oh wait...yeah, I don't do that, but if I did I'm sure it would be hurtin me.

Moving right along ;)

I celebrated my b-day with some peeps from work/soccer/other exported Koreans etc... :) Good times. We went to Carnie Station, which is like a little piece of heaven I do believe. It's an all you can eat and drink for about 25 USD. You can stay there for up to 2-3 hours...ahhh...good stuff. (Pic to the right is my girls and I textin our peeps :) Trying to be as korean as possible :)

We then headed to a bar. Met up with some friends...laughed, dance, drank, hugged, loved, and cried...okay, maybe not the last one, but the other ones are pretty accurate.
Good group of people for sure..
Was able to get up the next morning for some soccer at Yonsei Uni. as well which

surprised me. Glad I did it though.
Oh and this is a pic of me blowin out the birthday candles...it was gorgeous cake though!Both of them..mmm good..

Let's see...a couple weeks ago I headed with Enda to Seoul tower to check out the city at night. It was nice to get the city into a better perspective...it's a huge city...love it. :) There were a couple too many foreigners for my taste though. Granted I was also with a foreigner but that's besides the point. Anyways, this pic below is what the tower looks like from the ground. It's me attempting to be artsy again...

Taekwondo is going well which is very nice. I'm starting to use some weapons. Always a good time. The fighting skills aren't up to where they should be, but I suppose it comes with time and practice. It's also been blazin how out here..it just finally cooled down.

I'll be taking off to Vietnam for a couple days come Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) in September, so I'm definitely looking forward to that. 5 days of Kayaking, the sun (hopefully), biking, beach, and chillin...much needed...very very excited...!!!

We also just started a new 3 month semester at the Hagwon. The students are good for the most part, but teaching is very tiring. I have a new appreciation for my teachers who taught me when I was young (or actually all teachers in general!) Cheers to you all.

My apologies on the uncreative blog entry. I'm not feeling that creative...witty...etc...tonight..not saying that I am naturally any of these..hmm..k I believe my bed is calling me. G'nite.
