Yes I know I havent blogged in months. Yes I know I dont really do anything else with my free time so theres no excuse. And yes I am staying a 2nd year here in Korea. As I sit in my apt (that really does now feel like my home) I remember my many firsts here in Korea. Getting off the plane. Being totally and utterly confused. Going to my hotel. Orientation in Seoul and meeting many great people. Then soon leaving to go to Incheon to start my job as a teacher. I was scared out of my mind. I left everything and everyone I know to go to a completely different country on the opposite side of the world where I know nothing and nobody.
The adventure I took could go 2 different ways. Either it would be one of the worst decisions I made and I would regret my decision. OR. It was going to be one of the best experiences of my life and I would fall in love with Korea. Well as you can guess, the 2nd of 2 paths occurred. I extremely love Korea. My friends, my school, the people I work with, the different culture, food, booze and lifestyle in Korea.
There have been so many different things that I have done and experienced it feels impossible to write about them now. My first week of teaching, Christmas in Seoul, Thailand with 2 great friends, partying in Seoul, Taiwan, my first whole semester with the students, trips to Busan in Southern Korea, Korean baseball games, the McMahon family visiting me here in Korea, and of course all the amazing people that I have met along the way. Im sure there are many memories that I am forgetting.
I really dont know how to end this, I just know that this year has been by far the best experience so far in my life. I am looking forward to this 2nd year very much. I hope if anyone has a chance to take a big leap that they go for it. Ya it might end up bad but it also might end up being the greatest decision of your life.
Ill hope everyone is enjoying their life as much as I am.
