And a very Happy New Year to you all! I haven't written for 2 months, time seems to have disappeared very quickly and I am already in my 4th month of teaching in South Korea. November was lots of fun as not only did I celebrate my 27th birthday but I also had a visit from an ex chateau colleague Katie. She was my traveling buddy in New Zealand but we hadn't seen each other since so we had a lot to catch up on. I partied in true Korean style on my birthday, Kore...
