week two

How it is hard to believe that I have completed two weeks here. It truly feels like I have been here for ... Forever! My weeks feel doubley as long because of the split shift, which is awful. I know that I am crazy busy right now at school due to conferences, open class, bulletin board writing and writing contest but it still blows chunks.

If I was fortunate to be off earlier than 7:20pm every Monday to Friday I would enjoy either more time to explore, relax, read a book. Anything! I would appreciate more time, ya know. Because really, I only have 50 more weekends to explore ...

I have been to Nami Island, the market and Myeong-dong. Am off to a baseball game this Saturday too!

Missing home, but technology helps:)

Nami Island - Korean Independence Day

Two-three hours of standing on a bus and train later ... We arrived at Nami Island. It is situated 63 km from Seoul in the middle of the Han River. Nami Island looks like a floating leaf. It is has an area of 480,000m2 and a circumference of 5 km.

We took a low-key, slow-paced zip line to then island and then toured by foot.

Food Adentures!

Eating kimchi! A bit spicy but still pretty good. I would suggest chasing it with rice ;)

Noodles & Octopus! This dish was deceivingly spicy. But sooooo good! Minus the collection of mini octopi. I did not eat them. Luckily, Krystal saved me.
