I thought I would give you all a quick update:
1) On the 24th I am moving apartments. I've had ongoing issues with my neighbors and their noise-level. I requested and was given permission to move. I am excited. Hopefully this place will be much quieter!
2) Because Christmas isn't really celebrated here (some of my friends have to teach Xmas day, luckily I don't) I will be going to Everland. Everland is the largest amusement park in Korea. Apparently there will be a Christmas Parade and fireworks at night. They are also having a mock "snowstorm". I am going with a tour guide company and the next morning we will be watching the sunrise. A lot of Koreans believe this is the best time of year to watch the sunrise and the particular location we are going to is said to be the best spot.
3) On the 30th I will be leaving to go to China, Hong Kong, Macau, India and Nepal. I will be gone for appx 21 days. I am really excited to finally get some Asian travels in. I will be sure to take lots of photos.
4) I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope everyone's Holiday Season is filled with lots of JOY and LOVE! I wish you and your families nothing but the best during this wonderful time of year :).
The photos attached are from my Kindergarten. I was given the pleasure of being the big guy for the day and hand out gifts to all the students. They were very excited and I had lots of fun! Their super cute :).
Well folks, I know your all busy rushing to get things done. PLEASE, don't forget to relax and enjoy the real meaning of the Holiday Season - God, Family and Friends.
Take care and Happy Holidays,
Tim
P.S. If you click on one photo a slide show should open (they've changed the viewer, it's much better and quicker...I have commented on some of the photos...Hope you enjoy)
