At last I am finally ready for another post. It's been awhile since I have written anything, a lot has happened since then but I honestly had lost the desire to write about it. I've been going through a lot in my own head, as my friend Nate says, I am still figuring out who I am and who I want to be. And let me tell you, it's not a pleasant journey. It's a treacherous adventure, with a constant roller coaster of emotions. Over the past few months, I have been up and down and thinking a lot. Korea is a terribly lonely place sometimes. I mean there are so many people, but it's easy to get lost in all the hustle and  bustle. But since I am still figuring out myself out, we will leave that conversation for another day. 

Here's what I've been up to lately: I finally bought myself a new camera, after losing mine in Vietnam, so I have been able to document life again! 

A few weeks ago I went with a friend to check out a Korean baseball game. It was quite the afternoon. Koreans are very into baseball so the stadium was packed and filled with energy. They even have cheerleaders for each team! it was quite a sight to see!

It started to rain after the sixth inning so we decided to leave. Pretty sure the team we were rooting for lost horribly anyway! 

Another big adventure I had was to go to Everland, the largest theme park in Korea. It's about a 20 minute drive from where I live. It was a beautiful sunny day and there were tons of people there. Now, I am not much of an amusement park person, I don't really like rides, especially ones that win . But since I was there with a group of people I had to give in to peer pressure and ride at least one. Unfortunately the first ride I decided to ride was one that went back and forth and spun around. Haha needless to stay I didn't get on anything else after that one! 

The worst part of Everland was the zoo. I was pretty excited to go to it, but it was really actually sad. The animals were in pretty small areas with not a lot of vegetation and they all looked so sad. After walking through it we were all depressed and felt sick for those poor animals stuck in there. It was definitely not a good zoo experience! 

The day after I went to Everland, I ran my first 5k race in Korea! It was the Bundang Marathon. I finished it in 30 minutes, which is a tad slower than I have finished in the past, but I suppose it's okay due to my lack of fitness right now! 

I am now training to run a 7K race in June! And I'm going to aim for a half marathon in the fall! I bought a Nike run Sports band so I can now track my mileage and pace. 

Since I was talking about how Korea is such a roller coaster of emotions, I guess I should mention that two of my good friends left Korea a few weeks ago. My friend Sarah and her boyfriend went back to Canada and it was really a devastating time for everyone. They left suddenly and we were all shocked! In time it was all explained and everyone is fine, but I must say I was pretty upset. It's easy to depend on another person here because you are lacking your normal support systems. Sarah was my support system and it has been a bit hard without her around! But I love her to death and I have no doubt we will meet up sometime when I'm back in Canada! Our other friend Cecilia also left around the same time and went back to South Africa. She will be coming back soon to work at another school. 

The weather has been really nice here and spring is in full bloom! Last week I took my kids out to the park for gym class and it was really fun! They are just the cutest kids and I am falling in love with them more and more everyday! 

Well, that's about it here. I am going to spend today being lazy since it's raining outside. Read some books and watch some movies. I haven't had a down time weekend in awhile so I am pretty excited! Tomorrow I am going into Seoul to check out the Korean Royal Family Procession, so it will be a cool cultural experience, and I am sure I will have some thoughts to post about it! 

Until next time!!!!
