Eight months!

... and five and a half to go :D

Ever since we switched to the new schedule at the beginning of September, our lives have consisted of school from 11:00 - 7:30 and the gym after dinner (if we can muster the energy). I can't promise that we'll keep updating this as often as we used to, but the good news is that we figured out that we can post our pictures on Picasa Web Albums. The link to our albums is a little ways down on the right side of your screen. There aren't a whole lot of pictures up right now, but we should be adding hundreds over the next few weeks, maybe thousands :D

Over the past couple of months since our last post, we've done a few things worth mentioning in brief:
- we went to another Busan Giants baseball game, this time in the midst of a playoff chase
- we visited Seoul, Busan, and Gyeongju, mainly for shopping since we've seen most of the attractions in those cities
- we took a ferry to Somaemuldo for some breathtaking views
- we spent our 4-day Korean thanksgiving weekend in Taipei, Taiwan

In the event that we don't post on here for another couple of months, this is what the rest of year has in store for us:
- this weekend we will be travelling with a tour group to Jeju Island; we had been planning on going there for Korean thanksgiving but our boss told us not to because the swine flu had recently broken out there. Then we learned that we were getting an extra day off, so we threw together a trip to Taipei with less than a week to go
- next weekend we're hoping to tour the DMZ (it's OK mom, tour groups go through by the dozens everyday)
- November 11th - 18th, Katie will be in the states for Alex and Mitchell's wedding! I wish I could go with her, but I have to stay behind and cover as many of her classes as possible. That was the only way they would let her go :\
- we get 11 days off for our winter vacation, so we're probably going to China. We'll probably spend most of our time in Beijing and a couple of days in Xi'an (the start of the silk road and home to the Terracotta Warriors; also, the capital of the first dynasty to unite China, the Han I believe).

I should have plenty of time to update on here while Katie is away, but I figured I'd better get you guys squared away for another long drought while I had a mind to do it. Enjoy the pictures!
