We are in KOREA!!

Greetings, I know this entry has been a bit in coming but here I am with a few things to say.
We were warmly greeted into this country that is for sure. Our boss picked us up and treated us to an amazing meal. They brought us to our home and I was really impressed with what they rented for us. Two rooms laundry space and bathroom and kitchen space. My bed and kitchen sink are no longer a foot apart. :)
We live in a city called Suwon, it is about 45min from Seoul and where I lived before. There is about 1 million people here but it is a little less crowded and calmer than Seoul. It's great to be close to the big city though because Chris is playing in a basketball league there every Saturday. So far the team in 1-1. If you want check out stats and how he's doing go to http://www.seoulbasketball.webs.com/
I am teaching at an elementary school about 40min from our place it's a bit of a bummer to have to bus all that way but oh well. Chris gets to walk to his school so that's good for him. So far everything is going smoothly nothing too exciting to report there.
This weekend we met up with Brenden a friend from Briercrest and hung out around a big shopping area and Chris got his first palace visit in. It was pretty sweet to be the tour guide I think I will enjoy that part of this adventure a lot. Chris is loving the food, which I am happy about since I enjoy it so much as well. Eating out is part of the adventure that is for sure. We still havent decided if we are going to cook or not.... haha anyways we are doing well, once in a while taking a wrong turn getting somewhere but it's a sweet adventure every single day. I pray this finds you well.
Be blessed and I will be back again next week. Please post comments or questions that you would like us to answer.
This is Deoksung Palace!
This is the building we live in, the third floor. The restaurant below is super and the family that owns it is really nice.
