Update

Mara and I have been busy. She's been seeing a chiropractor (finally!) and getting her braces adjusted so that she can have them off by April. Healthcare is cheap but sketchy here. I've been reading and writing, trying to prepare for whatever grad school will have me.

The chiropractic care relieves Mara from a lot of her back pain. Thank God.

We've been helping out at a homeless shelter, teaching the kids some Englishee. The people and the kids who work at the shelter are great. Some of the nicest Koreans we've met. Also been marking time, trying to get our loans in order. We both hate debt, even if it is part of going to a worthwhile college.

Went to a YACHT concert a couple weeks back:



Mara and I had Thanksgiving at her place, after work. We're getting pretty well adjusted to Korean life. We're now on the downhill slope of our first year here. The plan is to head to Paraguay after our contracts are up and then move back to the ROK in the fall to teach another year, kill the student loans, and save a little money.

Also, I've been planning an interview project to try and create an oral history of our families and people around our families (which, if you think about it, is just about everyone we knew in college, church, high school etc.) Please email us if you're interested in getting involved.

Also, email us to let us know how you are doing. Not kidding here.

Yeah, it's pretty mundane on a day-to-day level. Flickr has a couple photos.
