The Words of Gaga!

Today marks my 5th month in Korea! :) Wow, time flies. I can't stress enough how happy and excited that I am here in Korea! As fate would have it, I know for a fact I was supposed to come to Korea and meet the people I have met...it has been life changing. Many people thought I was crazy for coming here or putting off becoming an adult, however; the more I think about it, the better I feel about my choice to come here and what the future holds.

"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore." -Lady Gaga


Also, I can't agree with this more...

Spring has Sprung!

Ok so the weather isn't really cooperating just yet, however; we've had a taste of what spring is like here in Korea and let me say that I can't wait for the beautiful weather. Spring is one of my favorite seasons for many reasons (lame, I know that rhymes). Anyways, spring has always marked the time of year where things are fresh, new, and a hint of innocence to it all. Not only does the scenery change and grow, but it's the time of year where I like to reflect upon my life and see how much I have changed/grown over the past year. Another factor that helps me, well basically forces me to do this, is my birthday...yes it is coming very soon. To say the least, I have already started my reflective journey and I and very happy with the results. This year has been so well played out it's almost creepy. Fate has a funny way of making things happen, but I am thankful for what I have experienced this past year, and even more so what I have found in Korea.

Here are some memorable snap shots from the past month...

One of the best 1,000 won (about $1.00) I ever spent.

See the weather isn't really in our favor...

Happy b-day Jon!!!!
That ice cream cake from Baskin Robins was amazing!

Our names in Hangul (Chloe, Francis and I)

Taco Bell in Korea!!!
This was our trip to Camp Walker in Daegu.
Notice how Americanized it is.
We felt like we were back in America for sure.
Everyone was rude and kinda ghetto, ha ha.
Thanks Francis, you are the best!

Nothing like singing some Kelly Clarkson
"Since You've Been Gone"
at your local norae bang (karaoke).

We look so happy to be going to prison, right?
No just kidding,
these are our sweet massage getups we had to wear.
We all got a "Sports Massage" and it was intense,
I was sore for 3 days.

Kids being kids...

Sometimes it's hard to believe that these kids are ESL students...
I love it when they can be silly, even if it's just for a moment.
