6 Months Down

We have officially been in Korea for 26 weeks.  Half the year gone already.  At times it seemed to go by very quickly, other times not so much.  At this point we are not sure how many months we have left.  We haven't made a decision as to whether or not we want to finish out the last six months and go home or if we want to stay one more year after that, giving us 18 more months here.  We sure do love our jobs and living in this country, but of course we miss everything about home.  When we do make the decision it will not be an easy one for sure.

In other news the weather is slowly starting to get a bit better!!  We did get a whole lot of rain from a second typhoon last Thursday, but it seems to slowly be cooling off and feeling nicer outside, especially in the evenings.  We even got to ride our bikes for the first time in two months this weekend!  I went to Dongdaemun market on Saturday with two other girls.  I haven't been there during the day before but we saw some interesting things, like old books for sale stacked as tall as buildings.  I don't know what happened if you wanted to buy a book near the bottom of the stack.  (Sorry I forgot my camera, we will go back another time)  I found directions for a section of the market that supposedly has a good yarn supply, as well as a baking area.  Finding these two things may prove to be an important deciding factor in whether or not we stay one more year!
