Wow, it's 2016 and I have less than two months left in Korea. What an amazing year 2015 was - moving to the other side of the world, experiencing a completely different culture, trying many new foods, seeing many beautiful places and learning a lot about myself as I grew as a teacher. There have been various up's and down's over the year but for the most part it has been a wonderful experience that I highly recommend to anyone. So my last post was 6 weeks ago - ...
