Update

So, not much happening at the moment. JJ wasn't feeling well over the weekend so we didn't go to the beach. On the other hand, it's been raining pretty steadily with major flooding in some areas, so it wasn't that big a deal. This coming weekend the Korean teachers have scheduled a float trip somewhere in the mountains. That should be fun. In the meantime, this is the last week of the current term. We have a new one month "summer" term coming up for the month of August. It'll be pretty intense, but it's only a few weeks long. Then, we go into a more normal several month term. I've been told that my classes will be more similar next term, which means less lesson planning...which would be great. Other than that, I've gotten pretty used to the lifestyle over here. The language barrier can sometimes be frustrating obviously, but for the most part we've got our favorite eateries, bars, and places to go, and we still try new things. One place I still haven't gotten to is Expo Park and the surrounding area - lots of museums, and cultural centers. I also told Tremendous recently that we should start systematically trying ALL of the bars and restaraunts in our immediate neighborhood. The area's thick with them so it will take some time. Then, of course, we have the whole new area where Jenny lives to explore.

So, basically, everything's going well. It could be a little cooler and drier, but you have to be happy with one or the other this time of year.

It's supposed to get better soon. Just stick out the rain and it will be like Iowa in no time.
