Holidays in Korea
Hey all, I guess I wont be seeing many of you this Holiday.
I am spending my holiday here in Korea. Well Christmas has past, and New Years is coming soon. Things here have been pretty nice so far. I am enjoying my time here. met lots of rally kool people. We even had a really kool Christmas party. Just a few friends from around. I still have to post those pictures sometime.
Hmmmm there have been a few things on my mind as of late. I have more or less planned out what I want to do in the next few years. Planning is a healthy thing to do and those of you who really know me, know that its not one of my greatest skills. Well planning, maybe its more of where I envision myself to be in the next few years. The break down is simple: 1) one more year here in Korea just to really develop some teaching skills. 2) Return to Ontario for my B.Education. 3) Teach abroad in Africa, for at least 6month. I think I say 6 months cause in some ways the idea of a year in Africa actually frightens me. Who knows maybe it will be a year.
This direction bring a few things that I really have a heart for, education (ie. the growth of youth), HIV pandemic, especially in Africa.
A few thing that have made me second guess this approach, are making myself stable financially for my parents, and finding a gf. PS I should really exercise more. hehe hmm what to do, what to do? To bad the answers aren't simple, but ever said life was. We do all make our own paths in life. Our lives are ours to shape.
I guess "balance really is the swinging of from one of end of the pendulum to the other"

December in Korea
Well the last post was kinda odd. I was teaching my kids about Canada and I showed them the "I'am Canadian" commercials from the 90's. Do you guys remember those? Way to represent Canada, eh?
Well what has happened in the past while? Kyle and I went to Busan this past weekend. Amazing experience I would love to go back. We alomst didn't make it back. We missed our buses and trains, and had to make a long detour home but we made home. It was really great to see out friend Mindy. Who came to Korea to visit family and us. We took the Bullet Train home. that was fun. First class tickets, which cost about 50 bucks canadian for a 2hr ride. it was sweet, but we had to cause the other tickets were sold out.
Things are going well. I miss TO and the friends there and picturing staying another year seems easy and hard at the same time. Being back for 2 weeks this summer, will be great to catch up with friends but bad cause it is not enough time to catch up.
*** I give full permission for you my friends to slap me if I respond with a, "Ya, Korea was alrite."
But I cant wait to see you all.
Things with Ahreum are going pretty well. I am happy we are good friends. Its fun sharing things with her. Fun to hang out with too. There are language barriers, but we overcome them with a sense of humor. I really don't know where it will lead, but ya we ll see.
I again hope you are all doing well. I have been itching to find this video game o well. But that is just me getting the video game withral.
well can't wait to see you all,
