In our last month in Korea, Tyler came to visit us! So of course we jammed as much as we could into our last month for him and for us! We were ready to leave the school but not leave Korea. It felt like home to us. During our last month we went all over!
We took Tyler to Busan! I wanted to show him the tropical, warm side and ofcourse the beach! Again, we went with some other co-workers and off we went! Tyler was super impressed with the fast train! As soon as we got there we found a pension and off to the beach we went! We spent the day, drinking and eating there! The next day I took Tyler to Yonggungsa Temple! He threw a penny into a well and got it on his first shot! Everyone around us was so impressed!
Other highlights were going to a local park, getting fried chicken and beers! It started to poor rain but our group had a great time! Colleen took us to Oeam Folk Village. It was an old town that still lived like they did a long time ago! We had an amazing lunch and watched how they used to live.
We took a trip to Seoul because I really wanted to see the war musuem. It was amazing! There were so many beautiful structures and old warm vehicles. The group of us went to see another palace and got to see the changing of the guards! Then we went to the breweries! We went to Angel's Head and Craftworks! All the beers at Craftworks were named off after the mountains in South Korea. I also took Tyler to Big Buddha and got ourselves some Buddha beads!
We definitely had a couple nights out drinking and going to the Norebang! Who could not do that before you go! Tyler visited the course and the kids absolutely loved him! And lastly, we took him to have Dog! Our friend, Sunbin took us to a restaurant. I did not order it, but it comes in a soup! Not totally horrible! I think Kip knew though when we came home!
Tyler left a couple days before we did. It was a sad goodbye. I loved the kids I taught and I loved the country we were in. We made lifelong friends and grew so much stronger as a couple. My kids all made me a goodbye song and speech and we had a goodbye party in the evening with our co-workers. Jay and I had an amazing time and I know I loved sharing this experience with him. I know whatever happens in our life we will be fine because we can throw ourselves into any experience. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else!
