The weather is more and more beautiful every day. This past week has been a bit rainy but along with the rain comes greener trees and more flowers =) I have been seeing many different parts of Korea..I have visited Busan, Seoul, went to the Green Tea Festival, and several other festivals. Last weekend I went hiking in Jirisan..so beautiful! I'm also starting to visit more temples. I went to one about 15 minutes from my apartment yesterday. It's amazing how many places like this there are here in Korea..so quiet and peaceful! I started taking private Korean lessons about 2 weeks after I arrived. It's through a friend and so I am learning little by little. My biggest obstacle with learning Korean is the pronunciation of words. I still need work and am making it a point to study more often. I love my school. My co-workers are very helpful and the students are great. The hours are perfect and I feel I have lucked out with this Hagwom. Thank you for all of your help in helping me find the perfect school and location. I couldn't be happier!
