Today marks our one year anniversary of living in South Korea. Many feelings have come and passed and continue to do so in regards to every aspect of my life. I feel I have grown alot and living in another country with the one I love has taught me many things. I am still learning.














This is one of our buddies, Joe (left) and our favorite galbi joint owner. Joe is a quiet fella most of the time and a deep thinker. The adjoshi is one of the jolliest fellows it seems. Joe is moving out tomorrow and heading back to Ohio on Thursday. He arrived on the same flight with us from Tokyo and will be missed. He's part of our family here. There were five of us that came to work for different campuses at Avalon in the same midnight bus taxi. Good luck to you Joe in your travels through out this life and others!



If you decide to visit Korea, just look out! If you need any explanation, please note the badasses in the photo below:




OUCH!




I stumbled upon this temple near my school campus with the hint of a co-worker. It is peaceful and there are hiking mountains in the back as well as fresh water. I am confused as to if you can just enter any of the buildings and meditate or if there needs to be a ' service.' I went in one and began, but I was sweating profusely as it was 3:30 p.m. on a really sunny day and I was also nervous someone might 'catch' me and start up a grand explanation in Korean.
