Living and Traveling South Korea

---

I have been here a month! It truly is hard to believe that the time has gone by that fast! If the entire year goes by that fast I will be home in no time. So much has happened in my life in a month. I have moved across the world, live by myself, have a job I never thought I would, and have had to start over making friends on my own. All things have worked out better than expected though!

The weather is warming up here which is great. It is in the mid 40's for highs- it makes it a lot easier to walk places- that way and I wont' be spending as much money on taxis. This weekend I didn't do a whole lot but relax. I wasn't able to go on the DMZ tour b/c it was fully booked, but hopefully next weekend. I decided I don't want to do the palaces until it's spring and the flowers are out - some of them are supposed to have beautiful gardens.

Today I am going to a place called Dr. Fish. It's like a spa and you stick your feet in the water and fish literally suck away the dead skin. It'll be interesting - They use the fish as pumice stones basically! I'm gonna get me some of these fish when I go home!!!

Alright, as most of you were wanting I have added pictures finally! I haven't taken photos with my kids yet, but I have some of the school and my house and also of some of the people I have met while here. I hope you enjoy! 😊
