Hey, I hope everyone is well?

Thought I'd send you a few pictures from my local travels in spring. It's really beautiful here at the moment, probable my favorite season so far, its great to see everything gaining color, ever since I arrived everything has been brown, dry or white so color is great 😊
I love the colors, everywhere you go now is so colorful with flowers, and tree blossom. Weather is starting to warm up too, all sunny and blue skies!! hehe!!!

So, we had a day off on Wednesday for voting, so I went out with some Korean friends to Andong dam, which is about 40 mins away. We had a great day, walked around the dam and a filming site for a Korean tv series before heading to Andong for a famous dish (always makes me laugh how all the famous restaurants I get taken to, with the photographs and news paper articles etc on the walls are these labyrinths of restaurants, tiny and graffiti covered!! but excellent food!!) steamed chicken, which is chicken, veg and clear noodles in a spicy sauce in a huuuuge dish to share, very yummy!!

Then it started to rain, so we headed to a dvd bang - a place where you choose a dvd and then rent a room, sofas and super size flat screen tv and watch your movie together!! really cool!!
Headed back and to dinner with other English teachers for mushroom soup 😊
Had a great day off!

This term I'm at 2 new schools, both in Bongseong - a 'town' in Bonghwa. you'll ssee some pics from the town, the middle school, the 20 min walk to lunch, the elementary school, and a few kiddie winks! This week we made a human clock, which i wanted to show pictures of, but holding a camera was far too difficult!!!

This weekend I headed to Seoul as usual for my dance classes - started Argentinean tango this week which was cool!! We went to see the cherry blossom festival in Seoul, was great to walk through, so many people and blossoms everywhere! Then we wandered back down the Hann river before heading to meet a Korean family that we met through johns school, they look us to dinner in a really posh part of Seoul! had a 8 course chinese dinner! mmmmm.... sat overlooking the city!

Well thats all for me! I'm just prepping for school, and trying to do some English grammar!

Miss everyone lots, can't believe how quickly the times going though, and soon ill be home to see everyone!!

Please email me!!!

Lots love Cer xxxx

Cushy teaching!!!
Fancy schools that size for so few kiddies - then in your other school they are overcrowded!!!!! Love the classroom and displays - you're quite artistic really lol. Fancied going to the river at New Year, would have been beautiful with all the lights, but the blossoms are even better. We have some good ones here at mo but keep getting killed off by frost!!!! xxxx

What a way to earn a living
Hello Ceri, pics look great, The mountain shots with snow etc look wonderful. They could probably do with a good walking over. Its a bit far to join you for a days walk though. Stay happy and safe. Ta Ta for now.
