Thing 1
Jessica and I have made a decision. We've gone back and forth in our minds and with each other. What are we going to do when our contracts expire on Sept. 13? We looked for different jobs. Europe. South America. Greenville. We considered staying in Korea longer. We considered going back home. We considered wandering the Gobi desert and living in a yurt. Well I did anyway. We recently came to a conclusion. We signed a contract to stay in Yeongju. But only 3 extra months. Instead of our original ending date of Sept 13 we will now close out our time in Korea on Dec. 13. In September I will leave Buseok Elementary School and work at Jessica's private English academy. It's much closer to home. I'm happy about that.
Thing 2
Several national holidays occur during the first week and a half of May. Children's Day and Buddha's Birthday. Also, my school celebrates its anniversary the same week. All of these Korean holidays translate to vacation time for us. Originally we had planned for Japan to be our next big trip. But instead of flirting with the risk of growing a mutated third arm out of my stomach, we're headed to Taiwan. It's a tiny island off the coast of China. Hengchun, a small beach town on the southernmost tip of Taiwan, is where we'll stay for the week.
Thing 3
Bun in the oven.
