Spring has sprung!

 

Believe it or not, my laptop broke just after making my promise to write blog posts more often!  Alan ordered and installed a new screen for me, so it is now working again!

Alan and I went to Seoul last weekend.  This was the first time that we have visited Seoul since we moved here.  We had both been to Seoul before - me for only a day when I came to visit Alan in 2010 and Alan visited with friends when he lived in Masan in 2009-2010.  But Seoul, as large as it is, has so much to see and to do.  Since we only had two days, we only stopped at some of the main tourist sites and ate some beloved American food.

 

 

 

 

Our visit to Seoul was a lot of fun and a great reminder of why we're in Korea.  Since we've been here for almost 8 months now, Korea is starting to feel 'normal' to us.  Getting out of our routine and allowing ourselves to explore is refreshing and exhilarating.

Spring has sprung in Ulsan!  We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.  Alan and I enjoy walks, runs and bike rides outdoors where we can marvel at the beauty of our Mother Earth.  Ulsan seems to have come out of hibernation throughout the last few weeks and we have enjoyed watching it do so.

 

 

 

Alan is staying very busy with two sports teams that he has joined - an ultimate frisbee team and a baseball team.  Ultimate frisbee is very popular here among the foreigners.  Alan plays games almost every weekend in cities within an hour or so radius from Ulsan.  Unlike his frisbee team, Alan is the only foreigner on his baseball team.  He plays games about once a week in the mornings before work.  He really enjoys it and it is fun for me to watch when I can.

 

 

 

That's it for today.  I hope all is well with you and yours!
