Hello everyone, Carrie here. We had a good week, though nothing new to report. Kids are still good, school is still great. Each week we get more used to our schedule and now it seems pretty easy to handle. I am typing this from our apartment, even though it is Monday at noon, because school was cancelled due to another typhoon. Can't say I was sad about that . . . :)
This past weekend we went on another hike at Mudeungsan mountain, this time a different trail, and we had a beautiful view from the top of the whole city. Unfortunately, we don't have a camera yet, but we got paid today so we will be buying one tomorrow and will soon have pictures to post of our beautiful city. We went on the hike with several people who worked with our recruiter, so it was nice to meet some new friends and we look forward to more fun with them!
In a couple weeks we will have a five day weekend for the Korean holiday of Chuseok. I have been told it is like Thanksgiving, a time to get together with family, remember ancestors, and have a big meal. We plan on heading to Seoul and will visit some palaces where the city is hosting Chuseok activities.
I can't believe we have been here almost a month already. Everyday it feels a little bit more like "home;" we are definitely better at navigating the bus system, getting groceries, telling the taxi driver the directions to our apartment, all those little things that you do daily that suddenly seem much more difficult in a different country. Everything is an adventure here!
Next post I will hopefully have some photos to show you!
