So as we approach the summer season, thought I'd throw a few updates out here.
First things first, I'm a little concerned about my hagwon. Pay was late this month, and most teachers still haven't been paid. The school has been losing students and classes are combining. Aigoooo...
Next...I know I need to do some more traveling around this country. There are still some places I haven't seen.
On my list:
Jeju
Busan (again)
Seokcho
Daejeon
Jeonju
Daecheon
DMZ
Jinhae
I don't know if I can get all of those covered this summer, but it's worth a try.
Anyways I feel myself not writing as much simply because everything is not as new as it was my first time around. I'm used to everything, and my weekends are pretty much spent meeting with friends. Although I have made new friends the past few months, I seriously need to get out of Seoul for a weekend. Well actually I don't live in Seoul, but I go there every weekend.
And while I'm on that, it actually was refreshing to not go to Seoul for one day this past weekend. I ended up going to the beach with my new friend. As it turns out, the island where Incheon airport is located has a nice beach area along with tons of seafood restaurants. For the first time I had some 칼국수 with clams. It was delicious and it was a great way to finish off the day.
So I'm looking forward to more great days during the summer and chillin out with old and new friends along the way. Here are some pics of recent activities:
