Chantelle Hodson Hi Everyone!

This is an area where I will share my smiles and tears of my travels over in South Korea. Life is very different here and I hope you are enlightened about another culture while reading my blog.

This weekend was much more relaxing then the past weekend. Saturday Jessica and I decided to hike up Mt Gubongsan. The mountain was out in a suburb area of Daejeon. This meant that we had to venture on to the bus for the first time ever. We were very unsure of what to do or how to pay but thankfully it was very easy. The bus driver also helped us with where we had to get off in order to get to the mountain. It is a gorgeous hike. You are right in the trees and it is not as commercialized [View Full Entry]

I will be back : )  Asia » South Korea » Busan
Words cannot explain how excited I was for Busan and I was not surprised to find out how excited Jess was as well. The trip started with my alarm clock waking me up at 4:30am....that is so early. I had the hardest time getting up, but with the excitement of the upcoming trip I got up without pressing snooze. I did my last minute packing I had left and then started on my journey to the subway station. I had to sit and wait for the first subway to come while watching all the guys who were still drunk from the [View Full Entry]

Autumn Night  Asia » South Korea » Taejon
BUSAN IN T-MINUS 2 DAYS!! I am so excited.....words cannot even describe it! I am not sure what I am more excited for, leaving the city for 3 days or just having a break from work? We are able to go because it is Cheusok here which is the equivalent to our Thanksgiving. That does make me a tad bit homesick but I was able to talk to my brother on skype last night and that made me very happy! As well my family is coming in Dec!! Work here is so exhausting because little kids are so tiresome. I adore [View Full Entry]

What have I been up to? Asia » South Korea » Taejon
Now that I have hit my two month mark things seem to be going more smoothly. At the school I have established a routine with each of my classes and with them knowing what to expect and what I expect in turn really helps. I also have a handful of games and activities that I can recycle depending on the topic. I have also made it through evaluation month, now just to make it through open class month. I have been asked by numerous people what kind of glorious adventures have I been up to and the sad part is nothing [View Full Entry]

Bomunsan Mountain  Asia » South Korea » Taejon
Bomunsan Mountain What a breathtaking hike this was both literally and figuratively. It seemed like a good way to pass a Sunday with a couple of friends not expecting to find all the hidden treasures that we did. To start off the hike we were lucky enough to find a temple with a large variety of Buddha sculptures each with their own unique touches. You could feel the peace and serenity being in the area and it was a welcoming break from the city life where everything from eating to crossing the street is a race. After taking in all the [View Full Entry]

My Journey Thus Far  Asia » South Korea » Taejon
''A journey a thousand miles starts with one step.'' This is a quote that I have always held close to my heart, however, I never thought that I would put it into practice. I have always had those thoughts of what else is really out there and here I am living in another country. This is just a stepping stone to a new beginning in my life. It has opened my eyes to many things and how different yet similar we all are. We are all people with morals, values, thoughts and believes. It is our language differences that create a [View Full Entry]

Traditional Market  Asia » South Korea » Taejon
Traditional Market Recently I was lucky enough to venture through a traditional market here in Daejeon. It was actually by a mere mistake that my mate Jessica and I found this treasure within the city. We were on our way to the famous Zooland that we have heard so much about, however, as usual we got a tad bit lost. I think our inner campus has dimmed as we can never find where we want to go in an efficient way. If anything I feel this is a great gift because we are able to find places such as this.

Update Asia » South Korea » Taejon
I haven’t written in awhile as I have been so busy, but I found some time to sit down and write a blog entry. I have been here for about 6 weeks now and am finally settling down. It is starting to feel more comfortable as I am developing a routine. For my own sanity I need to have a weekly routine over here in Daejeon. I have started getting back into running and a normal sleeping pattern. Work is exhausting however. Teaching English to kindergarten is not an easy task. There is so much prep work involved because you need [View Full Entry]

a random week update Asia » South Korea » Taejon
Hi all! Update time. I am doing just fine even though I did get very sick. I knew that I would get attacked by the foreign germs but I did not know how sick I would get. I had to go visit a clinic here in the neighbourhood and get some medication. I was also severely dehydrated. The doctor’s office here is very odd; you literally go into his office and sit at a chair by his desk. The way they check you out is much different as well and they are obsessed with checking your blood pressure. The doctor prescribed [View Full Entry]

A Lovely Musical.  Asia » South Korea » Taejon
I figured that I would write another blog entry. I am trying to think of what has happened in this past week that was out of the ordinary and so different. Work was the same as per usual, except for the fact that I got sick. I should have known that would happen. There are germs here that are not in Canada and plus many of the kids are sick as well. I just coughed and had a stuffy nose with the rest of my students so it all worked out in the end. The kids are getting used to my [View Full Entry]
