What the Blog?

Oh man. So it turns out that we haven't updated this thing in over two weeks. Awful, awful bloggers. Thailand was amazing and I swear that once we're settled in, we'll post those pictures up. Settled in? Why would he say that? Well, it turns out we're leaving Korea tomorrow as our contract is now up. I can't really describe how I'm feeling... but its definitely some kind of mixture including sadness, happiness, excitement, nervousness...

I'm definitely sad to be leaving behind some of the good friends we've made here. We've become VERY close to a lot of the foreign and Korean teachers at our school over the last month. It definitely sucks to be leaving at the peak of the friendship, but as Dawna pointed out, that's usually how it goes. I'm happy to be coming back to Canada and (FINAAAAAAAALLLLLY) seeing my friends and family. I guess we can throw excitement into that as well. Our dogs are coming back with us and I can't wait to show them off.. to have them experience their lives in Canada... and finally.. I'm nervous. I've been gone a year... I have a lot of expectations of what Canada will be like... of what seeing my friends and family will be like. How long will it take to find a job? I'm sure coming home will be amazing and much more (another expectation)... and well, I'm nervous to see how much things have changed since I've left(if at all).

In any case, at this time tomorrow, Dawna and I will be at the airport near Seoul waiting to fly to Toronto. I swear... I SWEAR... that once we get back and we're settled in, we'll tell you more about what went on in Korea over the last two weeks... as well as writing an in-depth review of this whole experience. It's been a crazy year of ups and downs but in the end, a VERY positive experience. That's for sure.

As well, the blog won't stop there. We'll just have to rename it "It's Toronto Now" until we start our next big adventure somewhere. It's official.. we'll be blogging about our lives for the rest of our lives. Excited. I know you are.

See you in Canada!

Waiting in Bangkok

Well, I have another two hours to go before I board my 2am flight here in Bangkok back to Korea. We won't get into town until about 12pm and then it's straight to work. Tomorrow will likely be brutal. In any case, Thailand was great and we should add more details and pictures sometime soon.
