Katie's Birthday!


Saturday night we celebrated our friend Katie's birthday with a nice Thai dinner, then stopped at T.G.I's for a birthday drink!

A Great Saturday Night!

Last night we took our new teacher Brian out to our local Pub, then took him for his first noraebang experience. My "Korean father" Kevin wanted a final picture before I leave to go back to Canada.

Last Friday we said goodbye to a very close friend and co-worker Matt. We have been working together for 12 months, and I consider him to be one of my closest friends in Korea. We had a full staff dinner after work at our usual Kalbi restaurant. Two weeks from now, the goodbye dinner will be for me... I can't believe it! We also welcomed a new foreign staff Brian from Washington State.

Dinner at Sophia's

Matt, Sophia, me

Our close friend Sophia from work invited Matt and I over for dinner last week. The three of us have worked together for 12 months, and have become great friends.

Some friends and co-workers spent our last Saturday night with our good friend Matt from work. I have worked with and sat next to Matt for the past 12 months, and will miss him dearly.

War Memorial of Korea





Last Saturday afternoon Jillian, Robin and I toured the War Memorial here in Seoul. Many displays of war relics, weapons, planes and tanks. It's pretty incredible how far South Korea has come in just 50 years since North Korea invaded. N. Korea invaded and controlled the entire peninsula except for the small south east tip, Busan.
