One Month!












WOW! I cannot believe I have been gone for a MONTH! I went out last night to celebrate St. Patricks day! It was a lot of fun! I had a long week of being sick but I did get over it quick. I then lost my voice because of yelling at students and being sick at the same time. I am posting some pictures of some more of my kids that are my very new kids at the school and they can barely speak ANY english. We are working on 123 and abc . We are also working on how to ask to go to the bathroom properly and how to sit nicely in your seat. It can get frustrating when kids fight eachother and yell in korean because I have NO idea what is going on :) . I just have to put kids in the corner at that point. I have to make sure they all have their outdoor shoes on and backpacks all ready and jacket on properly before leaving the school or else I will have a mom calling complaining that I do not care about her kid. It is very interesting that they complain about the smallest things. I am still loving the job and the experience. I am starting to miss people a lot recently but my friends here tend to help that feeling of emptiness. I have a long weekend next month, I am thinking I might travel somewhere with my friend Alicia somewhere. We are planing and the blog will be updated about it :) ... I played some basketball some boys I know here last week and that was a lot of fun and I am trying to get the group of girls to play today. We will see if that happens. The nights here go way into the morning and so that tends to lead to many people sleeping the day away... I do not have much more news. I miss everyone in America more and more everyday. Thank you for taking the time to talk and read about what is going on in my life in Korea. Hope all is well. I also added pictures of the SLP building that I work in and kind of the area around it.. And of course, I will be adding more pictures. Until next time... much love! Hillz

Jakarta - rough on the outside a gem inside!

Image
Let me start off by saying I would have had a complete different experience if I didn't have 2 of the most fantastic hostesses! If your reading this, you know who you are ;) . I don't know if that experience would of been bad but I did get to see and learn more about Jakarta than a normal backpacker traveling through would. Jakarta has about 10 million people living in the city and about 10 million traveling in and out of the city. The city does not have a subway! If there was one word that Lauren and Monica taught me how to say in Indonesian it was traffic! Lauren and I took full advantage of the traffic we sat in to get to know one another! So of course it worked in our favor :) . Before writing on this blog , I wrote in my travel journal and took up like 5 pages of bullet points of things we did each day! Even with all the traffic I cannot believe how much I did in Jakarta ! I guess we took a lot of "short cuts." This is when we take a car or flight early in th...

In Singapore for 3 dayzzz!

Leaving pohang and the people there was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have never met such a amazing group of people like them. I feel very blessed to have been able to have shared this past year with each and every one of them! The cool thing is I know I will see everyone other places in the world in the future because of the friendship we have built in Korea together! I will never forget.. 💛💙💜💚❤ After traveling for about a full day from pohang , South Korea. I am now here in the Singapore airport. Stephanie and I are now waiting for her brother to come in on his flight. We had a lay over in Manila. This airport was nice and we had sometime to kill so we hung out in a cafe. We then found out we needed to get to a different terminal for our flight. Then we found out that no shuttle busses were running because it was 4 am! So we were told to take a taxi ... I decided to exchange some of my money to pesos cuz I would be able to use it when I am back in about 2 weeks...

I am once again at a internet cafe in Loas. I need to play catch up with my entries. I have been so busy that because my iTouch went missing/stolen in beginning of Thailand my entries have been few and far between. I have only 30 minutes to tell you all about the land of Pad Thai, Thailand!!! On the first day we started at a good cheep hostel called Southern Fried Rice. This is were we met up with Stephaine and her older brother. We then walked around town and saw Kata beach. We sat and talked on the beach and watched the sunset. Life is hard, I know. . . After this we decided to go to this putt putt golf. We drank beers while venturing around this course. After golf we went for dinner. Chrisitie and I were both very very tired from traveling for about 2 straight days to get to Thailand. So we went home and slept. We then got up early to take a bus to the port. We were to then get on a boat to get to Phi Phi island. Have you seen the movie , "The Beach?" parts of this movie w...
