Plans

It's raining here now and its making it very difficult for me to walk down to the grocery store. I'll post instead.

Things here have been really great lately. Work has been good, we get a new teacher in two weeks. World Cup (though now over for Korea) has been fun. I've been traveling around and doing a lot. The biggest news, though, is that my girlfriend Sarah has decided to extend her stay here in Korea so we can be together. I'm really happy that she's decided to stay and we are making tentative plans for the next 6 months.

At the end of July everyone has a week vacation and we had started making plans to go to the Philippines or to Viet Nam. When tickets turned out cost twice what was advertised online, we decided that we'd have to stay in country for this vacation. We're planning on going to a big three-day concert up in Seoul and hopefully get up to see the DMZ as well. Any extra time we have we are going to spend on an island somewhere off the coast. It's too bad we can't go abroad but it'll still be fun.

Until then, we have a month and a half of hot humid weather and work to look forward to. In early July we are going rafting with some friends of ours which is going to be a blast. And the weekend of the 15th we are going to the 9th Annual Boryeong Mud Festival. It's a weekend long party at a muddy beach. Drinking, mud wrestling, bbq and fireworks. It's going to be awesome.

That's the latest from Busan.
