Singapore was a bast! It reminded me so much of home and it was good to have that feeling after teaching and not being home for about 7 months... It was way 2 expensive! Food was the same amount or more than at home! A beer on happy hour was about 6 dollars! Spending st . Patty's there was also epic! Although spending 2 much money on food and drinks it was well worth it! We went to universal studio park there and it was super busy but when we got there it was down poring with rain! We walked around getting very wet from the rain as everyone stayed off the rides we went on them with very little of a wait! We then went home and relaxed and got ready to go out for dinner then to celebrate st Patrick's day! We went out and had a good night for our last night in Singapore! Off to Bali! ....... I am in Bali! As I type this it is 9 at night and I am sitting by the pool. I am listening to the crickets and nature! It is so peaceful. It is much different from Singapore. It reminds me

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.. πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’š❤ 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

Jeju was amazing! There was so much to do and I wish we had more than 3 days to do more! I think Stephanie and I chose to do some awesome things in the days we had. Our first day we woke up at 7 am to get ready for our big hike up mt Hallasan. Hallasan is a shield volcano on Jeju Island of South Korea. Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea. The area around the mountain is a designated national park, the Hallasan National Park (Hallasan Gungnip Gongwon/ν•œλΌμ‚°κ΅­λ¦½κ³΅μ›). Hallasan is commonly considered to be one of the three main mountains of South Korea, with Jirisan and Seoraksan being the other two. After this hike, Stephanie and I could not walk very well. We ended at 430pm ... It was an awesome hike just difficult Next day, got our hurt bodies out of bed And went to Loveland! This was a place of sexual statues. I have never seen anything like it. It was like an adult playground. We then get on a bus to go to the lava tube. There are many so we decided to go to one of the bigge

Life is moving on!

My life flashed before my eyes this past year! I was so busy with life I forgot and didn't get back on here to update my life.! I am sitting here in jeju island realizing that I have finished a chapter and going to be moving on to the next! I am excited! Leaving my students was one of the hardest things I have ever done! I was a emotional wreck and didn't want to leave them. I have never grown so much with such little kids. I didn't know that kids like these would have such an impact on my life . They helped me to grow into this amazing person in Korea. They became part of my identity. I started with such long days and days that I couldn't wait for them to end. I then found my self wanting the day to never end. They showed me so much love and care. It amazed me what they learned in a year and how I could impact their life. I feels good to know that I made a difference in these kids life. I can only hope they will forever remember me and smile and laugh when they think o
