안녕하세요 (Ann-yeong-ha-say-oh : Hello in Korean )

Anthony in the position you most often find him in... he always sits or lays down with his computer and falls asleep there. You just can't leave him anywhere or he'll be gone!

One of the best creations in food history I believe. This was an exceptionally great waffle! For some reason, the fruit is just phenomenal here. It's crazy how good all the fruit tastes. And this waffle was better than any I've ever had in the states (sorry mom! haha), apparently this guy has won awards for his waffles, and he deserves them! Yummy!

This is a pretty exciting street at night. It's a lot of clubs and bars, so there's always a lot of drunk people, but it's still fun to go down. There's also alot of really classy American soldiers that hang out there (and by classy I mean they're the type who give Americans a bad name in Suwon).

A random fortress in the middle of Suwon. Not very many historical buildings survived the Korean War, so this is a big deal.

Me in front of the fortress thing.... Please notice the french fry looking food in my hands. This is a typical example of things that look really tastey but are in fact not at all. They were like sweet potato sticks that were so crunchy I thought I wouldn't have teeth anymore. Needless to say I "accidentally" left these on a shelf in a store somewhere. It was disappointing since they were so good.

We found this in a 1000 Won store (like the $1 store in the US) so funny!

So today this car decided it could just drive on the sidewalk. Awesome.

So I haven't really been doing anything too exciting recently... I haven't had to work and everyone else has, so I've been pretty bored. I'm finally comfortable venturing out on my own, so I do quite often. I still get lost quite frequently trying to master public transportation, but I never feel lost because I know at any point i can just get in a taxi and get back home. So it's always good learning experiences to take the bus. I don't think they really have subways here?? I just take the bus as often as I can because it's like $.75 each time, as compared to a taxi which is about $4-5 each time. The boys live about 10min away by taxi, so if I'm in a hurry I'll take a taxi there, but I can also take the bus which takes 20-30 minutes.

Erik, April, Cameron, Anthony and I have been really building a little "family" here. Most nights we trade off cooking dinner and eat as a "family" together. It's pretty cute I think! haha. Last week we had fried chicken and sides (compliments of April and Erik), tacos (compliments of me) and spaghetti (compliments of April and Erik). I think it needs to be Anthony and Cameron's turn to cook! I've really enjoyed our time cooking and eating together, it helps when are families are so far :)

Well, next week I start working full time, and I start teaching around the 9th of March.

Love you all and miss you dearly,
Ash
