We are moving to KOREA!
Yes, yes, South Korea.
We will be boarding a flight in a little less than a month,
bound for the opposite side of the world, to a country in which we’ve never
been.

But are we excited too? Hell
yes!
So
why are we moving to South Korea?
Like
many foreigners bound for this exotic destination, we will be teaching English.
And right now, that’s
about all we know.
Although
we are leaving in less than 30 days, there are still a lot of unknowns. We don’t know which city we will be living in.
We have no clue what our apartment will be like. We don’t even know what age
students we’ll be teaching.
It’s
kind of scary when I realize we have absolutely no clue where we’ll be two
months from now.
But
it’s kind of exciting too, isn’t it?
There
haven’t been many times in my life when I have fully relinquished control and
truly embraced it. This is a perfect
opportunity. We
asked for adventure, and here it is, staring us in the face.
There
are a lot of mysteries, but we do know a couple things:
1.
We will be living in the eastern part of the country in a province
called Gyeongbuk. (no clue what city yet!)
2.
We will be working with a program called EPIK (English Program in Korea)
3.
As soon as we arrive, we will spend one week in orientation to help us
get acquainted with our new life in Korea.
From
everything that I’ve read about this week-long orientation, it seems like it
will be much like freshman year of college – living in dorms, playing
icebreaker games, wearing nametags and eating cafeteria style food.
Bring
it on!
I just hope we aren’t the
only old, married couple there!
So,
our flight is booked, our contracts signed, and we are getting ready to say
goodbye in just a few short weeks.
Now
that the logistics are out of the way, let the month of packing begin!
