Spring Things!

Keepin' it spicy on Skype...

We have had a very good time here since last posting. Our winter sickness has melted away in the Spring sunshine, and the longer evenings and warmer days allow for a lifestyle at least starting to compare with how we get to enjoy the outdoors in SA. Teaching is going very well, and we will miss many of these children when it is time to return HOME.

Since we arrived in this country 2 months ago our experiences have ranged from totally weird to just plain funny. And then of course 1 or 2 unforgettable ones at both extremes - amazing and horrible. But we are excited. This whole adventure is unfolding in a way that is unmistakably RICH in terms of experience and learning and our marriage relationship. We are spending time with God here as our protective and comforting Father, but also as our close friend (who thankfully understands English).

Ok, that's about as long as a BLOG post can be without irritating you - Oh, sorry, how rude, we didn't even say hello - HELLLOOO! Please try again to leave a comment if you can spare a minute! We'd love to get one and I think we may have the settings right now..!

Check out the vid and pics - prob more entertaining than the random thoughts above! But thanks for reading if you did!

To Seoul at 300km/h on the KTX...

She's Birthday!

She's birthday dinner (which she had to cook herself!), a special Paris Baguette cake courtesy of a korean 'co-teacher' and 2 random shots from the birthday weekend away: we headed South to a fishy but cool place called Mokpo and then jumped on a slooooow ferry to a random island called Docho-do. Fun, but not in the sun...

OK - here is a dodgy video - a rather dubious reward for actually still making some effort to follow our blog despite our infrequent postings...

It shows that we miss the SA accents - and that we have to provide lots of 'self-entertainment' while we are here!

We are back

Well, after a dismal absence from communication with the outside world, we are BACK! So many little quirky things to share, and actually possible now that (as of 3 hours ago), we have supa-fast Korean bali-bali (flipin fast) Internet in our new, 3 roomed (not common in these parts) apartment. Photos and more lively stuff to follow shortly... really....
