Hello -
Again, it's been awhile since the last update but I have kind of been waiting for something exciting to happen to actually cause me to post. I guess that I have been getting into a real routine and the time is flying by but there aren't nearly as many exciting events and experiences taking place. I guess that I'm really settling into life here and the time is really going fast. I can't believe that I've been gone for over 4 months now, I'm over a third finished.

The pictures that I've just posted are from a trip to China town. It is about 40 minutes away by subway and there is a huge park up on the hill. There are traditional looking Chinese places and many tables sitting outside, all of which sell basically the same exact thing as the one next door. It was really fun and then we went into the park. The picture of me in the traditional-looking building is at a little overlook that looks out over the sea and port. The whole park was really well manicured and nice and it was great to look around. There were a lot of old men that sit around and play some game that looked a lot like checkers. I have no idea what the game was but each side had little black and white pebbles and that is as much as I could tell. I guess it is a lot like chess, meaning that it involves a lot of thinking, however, I have no idea.

My school days are going well. I am getting into the swing of things and I would like to think that I am getting a little bit better at teaching. I still make the occasional kid cry but I am getting used to it. I am having a great time, I will try to make an effort to take some more pictures to update the blog with. There is not much new to write about but the pictures at least show what it new and can show some of the sights from my life in Korea. Hope to hear from you soon,

Kevin
