We've just learned that we have the chance to go to the Philippines next week! Heather's director takes students there every vacation to study at English Camps, and we'll be able to go with!
We leave July 6th after work and will stay in Manila for three full days! Then we'll come back to Korea, get our stuff, and head for Tokyo the next day, July 11th! We're pretty excited and it should be a fun time! Now we're super busying getting our last-minute packing done! YAY!

Slackers
We haven't been keeping up with our postings lately, but we haven't done that much either! It's officially Monsoon Season, so it rains pretty much every day. It's quite humid, too, so we've learned to seal our food air-tight!
Last Saturday we met up with B's former co-workers. We had a nice dinner, and then had a few beers! It was really great to hang out with them one last time. We are now setting up plans to meet with people who we hope to see again b4 we return to the States.
Hopefully we'll get to visit a few more cool places near the Tongyeong area over the next two weekends, and if we don't get rained out we'll hopefully have some good shots!
We really appreciate everyone who's checked our blog this year, we can't wait to see you all very soon!

21 Days
Well, we've officially got three weeks left in Korea. Some things will be missed, but we're looking forward to seeing family and friends again! Plus, we'll be back in September, so no worries.
On Saturday, H visited a friend who just had a baby. We attended her wedding in September, and now we've been able to see her baby. It was a girl, but no name has been given yet. It's common for that to happen here:the family must choose a name that they think is fitting for the child. Many visit fortune tellers, who instruct them on good names for the baby. It's supposed to be a busy year for child births in 2007, as it's the year of the Golden Pig, and it's supposed to be very good to have a baby during that time. My friend's sister and sister-in-law have both had babies within the past 6 months!!
This weekend we plan to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary at a beautiful beach near Tongyeong. We've not yet been there, but have heard great things about it! Pictures will follow if we don't get rained out. It's the beginning of the rainy season here, so we've got to play some things by ear.
