Peace at sunrise

This Sunday morning, I woke up at 5:30 am so I could walk down to the river while everything was still and peaceful. I wanted the solitude that only an early morning sunrise can bring.

Life view

I view life as a journey. There will be good and bad times, lumps and bumps.

Learn to laugh at your self and life and NEVER GIVE IN or UP.

Prayers and laughter help a lot.

Hanging out in Gwangju with other newbies

Last weekend was fun. About nine "newbies" (new english teachers) met up in a central city, Gwangju, to hang out and have fun. We window shopped at Art Street, went to the movies and sang badly at a karaoke bar. My roomie, Aretha, and I shared a hot melted chocolate brownie that was sooooo delicious.

Loads of fun!

Rush hour

Rush hour in my town is relatively calm. The majority of school age children take public transportation so the buses are very crowded during early morning and late afternoon. It is the same all over the world. Adults go to work and send their children to school to learn and grow. 

We are all more alike than we think. 

Close to heaven

My secondary school is just twenty minutes away from downtown Gwangyang but is very rural. There are rice fields, farmers and breath-taking mountains.  The clouds are so low, it feels very close to heaven.

Take a look.
