Ok, so it's been almost a month now since I have updated the blog and I certainly appologize to all. A lot has taken place in the past month and I'll update you with two good weekends I've had. About 3 weeks ago I was asked to join a group of teachers at an English camp for the weekend. I was told it would consist of camping, playing games with kids, and just relaxing in the mountains. I would be paid 120,000 won for the weekend and it's all paid for.....WHY WOULDN'T I!!! The area we went to was absolutely gorgeous. It was situated deep in a mountain right next to a mountain stream/river. It was a pretty rainy weekend that weekend so the river was really flowing. The kids were so much fun and really enjoyed having me as their "teacher." I put that in quotes because we didn't really teach anything at all. We just played a lot of games and had different activities for the kids to practice their English. All in all it was a great weekend spent in an amazing place with a lot of really fun kids.
This past weekend I decided to join about 20 of my friends here in Jeonju to a trip to Busan. Busan is the 2nd biggest city in South Korea and it lies on the East coast of South Korea. We went to the beach area of Busan and had a blast. Since being overe here there has been a certain part of home that's been missing and it's been the beach and the night life that surrounds the beach. Busan is gorgeous and so much fun! I actually went to a restaurant that was primarily focused on Mexican food! I couldn't believe it and ate my heart out. The craziest thing about the beaches here are the Korean people do not wear bathing suits! They wear full clothing on the beach. Meaning, they'll go swimming in jeans and a t-shirt! IF they wear a bathing suit they will have pants on over top of it for some reason and you'll barely EVER find a woman in a bikini. They really hate getting sun and want to stay as covered as possible. I'll try to get some pictures of it next time I'm out there. If I do decide to do another year here in Korea it will 100%, without a doubt, be in Busan!!! I'll be going there for my mini vacation from work at the end of July so hopefully I'll have more pictures for you all then!
More to come and I promise to keep this updated more frequently than every 4 weeks! Hope all is well with everyone and I miss you all :)
