My Little Bungalow

So I've been in Korea about a month now. I'm feeling pretty settled in. Getting to know my way around Seoul a bit more. I feel like I've been here a lot longer than a month. The weeks absolutely fly by! Before I know it, it's another weekend. The weekends are great.

We usually go to different areas of Seoul, walk around exploring, eat out, go hiking (they are fanatics about hiking here, I'll post a video later, hilarious. It's their 'unofficial' sport here. You can buy $2 DVDs here so I've been watching a ton of movies...heaven to me:)
Dianne has been so helpful to me! She's showed me all around, told me some tips on Korean etiquette & manners, & really helped me get settled in. She's so much fun, oh & she's been my running buddy.



Here's my little bungalow.

My apartment is small but cute. Extremely small, but it's cozy. I'll only be in it another month & then I'm moving in to Christina's apartment which is much bigger. But it's cute right??

Christina's has a big bed & even a couch that folds out to a bed (so you can come & visit me!!!).


Take a look at my horrible Christmas tree, it's so lanky. But I had to have one, it was only $2!



This is my Gemini class, aren't they cute? Luke is super cute, but he's a stinker!!



Their english is pretty good. I love them though!! We have 2 Finish kids, Frans & Olivia.



This is my Taures class. Michelle is my favorite, she's the short hair on the left. SO cute!! Oh & I LOVE Dawn (next to her).







Here's my Aires class, they speak english very well! They are a lot of fun!



We had Indian food this night. Some of the best indian food I've ever had! So good!


















These are 2 of my co-teachers. Serene is Korean, she has lived in Canada & Australia. She's so much fun!





And Christina has been in Seoul almost a year & will be returning home to Pitsburgh soon.







These pictures were taken from the TX/Arkansas football game in Austin a couple of months ago.

I went to the game with Courtney & her brother, Blake. Was a fun weekend, but Courtney wasn't feeling too well. Austin is always fun to visit though:) That girl cracks me up! I LOVE being around her!

K, well that's about it from me. I just got back from walking all over Seoul. My friend, Emily from MN, has a friend Christina, who I ran a race with a few months ago, has a brother that just moved here. He's only been here a couple of days so we hung out. We going to church tomorrow, Itaewon International Church. Hope we like it! I would LOVE to get involved with a church here!
Oh yeah, one of my friends & I booked a flight to China during Christmas break!! Can't wait! We're flying in to Beijing, then we're taking a train to Shanghai & then all the way down to Hong Kong! We'll be in Hong Kong for New Year's!! I can't wait! We'll get to see a lot of the east coast! It's like 1000 mile train ride!
I finally got a cell phone! And I got it connected with skype so now people in the states can call me free of charge & it will forward to my Korean cell phone! I got to talk to family last night & it was amazing! Felt so good! So, let me know if you need my number & you can give me a ring! Would love to hear from you! MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU!
