Bye Bye Korea HELLO USA!

All and all I had a WONDERFUL time in Korea! I can truly say I was very blessed to have such an awesome experience. I am really grateful for the opportunity that allowed me to live in another country for an entire year. If any of you ever get the chance to live somewhere other than the USA take advantage of that opportunity, see the world, learn, enjoy a new culture, and challenge your self! No good byes but see you later Korea, you have been good to me :)

11 months

I can not believe I have been living in Korea for 11 months already, at times it is as if we just got here. I really enjoy Korea but I am beyond excited to return home. If you have the opportunity I would encourage everyone to live abroad. Living in another country has made me a much more patient person. I can say I consider myself to have always been an independent person and in most cases that's great but in Korea its impossible especially since I don't speak the language, and the little Korean I know is hardly enough to do EVERY thing a person needs to do. Just think about it, imagine your self in a bank and NO one speaks English, or how about the doctors office, where the doctor speaks very little English if that. Crazy huh?

Leaving Korea is going to be bitter sweet, more sweet then bitter I can honestly say. There are truly a lot of things about Korea that I will miss. I will miss my students (well some of them), my co teacher she is crazy, but we have become good friends through this process, some of the food (when is the last time you had dinner with a beer for $4.00?), and how cheap everyday living here is. I have learned so much about myself and another culture in 1 years time and I am blessed and thankful for my Korea experience. The countdown is on until I return to Pittsburgh and I am EXCITED!
Still Seoul Searching...
