The Other Side of the World

Here we go again. In lieu of settling down and getting real jobs, we've decided to hop on a plane for 21 hours over to South Korea. Mark and I both got a contract to teach English to middle school kids in a winter camp. Yep. That's right. WINTER camp. Where it will be colder than a witch's you know what. There's this thing over there called "The Siberian Winds." That just sounds like a good time, doesn't it? Actually, it does.

We've had our noses in the South Korean guide book for a while now and I think we'll be hard pressed to have a bad time over there. What with all the food in all those small dishes, public baths heated by volcanic steam, and this thing called a "Temple Stay" where you get to hang with the monks and do what they do.

My hope is to post a little bit every day or thereabouts...mostly pictures. I'll send out the traditional email update and this blog will be there for those of you who have extra time on your hands and want a little daily cultural spice.

Cho-un ha-ru po-nae-se-yo (That's Korean for "Have a nice day") Easy right?

Sara and Mark

  1. We are so jealous that you will be able to see so many cool cities. I can't wait to hear about Pyongyang, Namg, Wonsan and Hamhung. Be sure to give us great discriptions of them all. Kristen would like you to take a picture of the Yellow Sea - she has only seen Blue ones.
