Craving Kimchi

South Korea has been an incredible newlywed adventure. Justin and I are out here studying at Keimyung University and teaching English at local elementary schools. Everyday is a new challenge with a new reward.

South Korea its self is a beautiful country, the architecture is so unique and beautiful. I have never been anywhere in Asia so the architecture, food, culture, language and clothing are all new and fun. The weekend before last we went on a tour of the fish market on the west coast. This picture was taken right before an eel splashed in his tub and scared the heck out of me. Here you can see Octopus and whale

These are the grounds of an ancient palace. It was a bright Beautiful day and spent time walking the grounds picturing what it must have looked like years and years ago!


Right there on the grounds there was a small bamboo forest where we saw two happy little pandas just eating away.

This is a royal burial ground. In South Korea they build dirt mounds over the coffins. The bigger the mound the more prestigious the person was. This one is practically a mountain.


Just across from these mini mountains is a park where lots of people were out flying kites, check out this!

It is amazing what a difference the sunshine makes!

  1. Awesome!! Thanks for sharing and thanks to your mom for letting me know your address. It looks like you are having a grand adventure and your description of your little class is hilarious. I love the kites. We fly ordinary little ones one night in cub scouts. Is it really windy in Korea?
