Hello All.... I've been super lazy about blogging my experiences here. I suck at finding time to sit down and write. I need to do it more... I have realized this!
So this weekend was very interesting. It was fun, but emotional. Heather and Matthew decided to have a international Badminton Tournament with all of our international friends. People from Canada, Germany, New York, Oregon, Texas, Florida, and Korea were able to compete! It was an 80's theme and 80's music was enjoyed by all. Heather sported leggings, leg warmers, and a sweet headband!
We had a blast drinking Soju Punch and hanging out on the subway line playing badminton. Heather even gave away amazing prizes, like Macaroni and Cheese and a bottle of Old English, which she purchased on an American Air Force Base here in Korea.
Also, we have a new addition to our family, Soju-The cutest pup in the world! I adopted him after drinking a bottle of soju at a party.
I am still enjoying my life here, but having to say goodbye to our closest friends here has made living here bitter sweet. You meet these amazing people and then they are gone....just
like that. One of our dear friends, Aurelia is leaving us to take care of her sick mother.... We said goodbye to her tonight over cheesy fried rice. We will miss her soooo much! Another friend is leaving shortly to marry her man.... I guess that is what life is like here.... You see so many people come and go....
I miss everyone so much! Stay well!

Hello to both of you. I enjoyed looking at your blog. From what I can gather, you live right near my old school. I had some great times in the bars in the PNU area. It also appears that you're still enjoying yourselves. The key to surviving the final six months is to increase your alcohol intake.
Peace

hello
i found your blog by chance
surprisingly. i suppose we live in the same "Dong" near PNU
now i'm a sophomore of PNU
as you know from my strange words and grammar i'm korean but i really enjoy looking at your blog and reading
your experience in korea
thank you so much for speaking well of the korean people.
even though i'm also korean i know that some korean men are so rude but please remember that
there are many kind and generous people to foreigners in korea.(Like me?kkkk)
they just don't know how to speak english and they feel nervous when foreiners talk to them
the reason why we feel nervous when meet foreiners is that since elementary school we've studied englsh, but we don't know how to speak in englsh. and when we speak english poorly, we shame on ourselves.
thank you for reading my boring words
and i hope you enjoy yourseleves in korea~
