Here are a few things I have learned in my (almost) 4 months here in Korea...
-Sometimes the best part of your day is a package or letter from home, a call on Skype, a Facebook chat, or a grilled cheese sandwich.
-Staying home and chilling isn't always a bad idea.
-Taking a chance and talking to random people can create some pretty amazing friendships or you'll regret it later. Live and learn.
-Drink-in-a-bag is awesome.
-REMEMBER to always turn off your shower in the morning, because the next time you turn on the faucet you're going to regret it (I have yet to experience this).
-If you're are teaching or going to be teaching in Korea, wear lots of layers in the winter because your school probably isn't heated worth a crap!
-Shopping for clothes can be annoying, especially if you are having trouble finding clothes that fit. If you find your size, buy 3 or even 5. Ha ha.
-Korea has the cutest stationary, ever. I'm obsessed with it!
-Remember your camera!
-Sometimes going to McDonald's is a good choice.
-TVshack.net is sweet!
-Oddly enough, moving away to another country has brought me closer to certain people.
-Bra shopping is out of the question.
-Texthing in Korea is very annoying, there isn't T9. So you have to do it the "old fashioned" way.
-Speaking of cell phones, I bet a 7 year-old here has a better phone than you do.
-Transportation cards are so easy to use and recharge, definitely worth it.
-I miss having a bathtub, oven, and dryer almost everyday...
-Buying drinking water isn't as costly or annoying as it sounds.
-Go to your favorite places as much as you can, sometimes the people that work there will hook you up!
Well that's all for now, I hope you enjoyed this. I will soon upload pictures from Lunar New Year!

Winter Madness!!!
I know I shouldn't complain, but this cold weather is getting to me! I know, I know, all of my family and friends back in Montana are experiencing one of the worst winter's in years...I'm going to say I am not sorry I am missing it. Oh and that I can't stand snow, in fact I despise snow. Also, all you in MT are driving around and not having to walk everywhere in coooold weather conditions.
I'm looking forward to the nice weather so I can go on hikes and walk around with out the bitter bone chilling wind in the air. Anyways, I've been spending a lot of time indoors...so I've taken up yoga. For those who know me they know I am not one to "work out," but I'm giving it a try. Thanks again Alex for the yoga mat for x-mas.
Lastly, I must say I've met some very interesting and awesome people the past couple of months! Some are keepers and well others aren't. With that being said, I am going to post some pictures of the people whom I enjoy their company! :)
