Once again I’ve fallen behind with my blogging. It makes me wonder how on earth I’ll keep up once I start travelling. I guess the posts will have to become much shorter. Anyway back to the kindergarten trip last Friday. Luckily there isn’t an awful lot to say. Usually these … Read More

Just a quick post to convey my excitement. This whole ‘Journey’ thing that feels so stagnant after being in this country for seven months is actually starting to happen. Today I booked the first of our ‘extra’ flights. We are now officially spending 21 days in New Zealand. We fly … Read More

Last weekend I embarked on another Adventure Korea trip, this time it was cycling and Bungee jumping (and no I didn’t jump – but Emily, Brian and Kristen did!). Our first stop of the day was bungee jumping then onto the bike riding. Emily found it a little difficult to … Read More

I’m taking you back in time to the day before Luna New Year. The end of the school year was approaching so the kindy kids put on a performance for their parents. I had the day off so I didn’t get to see the actual performance but we spent a … Read More

The day marked one of Korea’s first independence movements against the Japanese invasion and is known as the Samil Movement (literally meaning three-one). According to Wikipedia: The inspiration for the Samil Movement … Read More
