Memorial Day Weekend

It's Memorial Day Weekend in Korea. The long weekend is in remembrance for the soliders who have died in battle. First time this year that we've had a holiday attached to the weekend. Brett, Laura, Craig and I took advantage of everyone leaving Seoul on vacation - we decided to hike the mountain that is in all those pictures I have of Gyeongbukgung Palace (btw, here's some newly posted pictures of the Palace). It was overcast, but it didn't ruin our view of the city.

Along with the hike this weekend, we've enjoyed trying different bars and restuarants in the Ilsan area, as well as dusting off our bowling skills at a local alley. And yes, the velcro bowling shoes are just as ugly in Korea.

On a happy note, Craig and I received confirmation that our offical last day of teaching is August 29th. We have bought our ferry tickets to Tianjin, China for August 30th, the start of our Trans Siberian trip home. Only 11 weeks (55 teaching days) left - not that I'm counting. ;) I'm a happy girl.
