First Snow, Last Snow?

It is snowing.  Again.  We are not sure if we are tired of it or not.  Daejeon is a secluded part of Korea in that the weather is more mild than it might be elsewhere.  Yes, it snows but it does not pile up like it does an hour away at the ski lodges. 

We have truly enjoyed our first winter season in South Korea.  It is a nice change to experience four complete seasons instead of warm, warmer, hot and hottest.

It has been a really nice winter and we are looking forward to Spring!

Lots of enjoyable and fun adventures lie ahead!

A group of us came across an article CNN wrote about 50 Beautiful Places to Visit in South Korea.  We are taking it upon ourselves to visit each and every one of these locations with the additions of a few other exciting places.  Fifty places are a lot to plan and visit thoroughly in one year so we have decided to divide them into seasons we want to visit them; some are prettier in spring, etc. and then to see how many we will be able to combine into the same weekend trip. To view the link click here. 

There are many more exciting places to visit as well as the 50 in the article, of course, so we will be visiting those places also.  Places such as the World Expo (World Fair) taking place in Yeosu.  Click here to learn more about the World Fair.  At the top right of the screen is the English option. 

We are excited to be able to attend and you can look forward to many blogs documenting the events,  locations and adventures we will take part in the next few months/years.

South Korea: The Adventure Begins

This blog is about our adventure and journey while living and traveling in the country of South Korea.  

Why the move? Classified. Let's just say a little change was in order. As one of our friends said, "Control, Alt., Delete." This a chance to go to a place where most wouldn't dare.

The point of this blog? This is a Captain's Log; to keep track of good times and laughs.  It is also to keep family and friends notified of our exploits and adventures.

We are teachers who need a bit of a change. The teaching world in Florida has been evolving and changing; as most states (places) do.  South Korea is gaining two highly educated and trained teachers. The world offers so much, why would one miss on such an opportunity to see and do things most are afraid of undertaking.

So at the end of June 2011, the journey officially begins.

Each post will not be a narrative of great detail; just a posting of major events, concepts, and ideals that we would like to discuss and you to see. Tasteful pictures will be provided but nothing unacceptable.  We are people who love their professional teaching careers and love inspiring those willing to learn.
