Thanks to the help of a great friend, we are spending a couple days in muju skiing.

Just checked into the wonderful Tirol hotel after a beautiful day on the slopes. It wasn’t quite as crowded as we’d expected, but certain runs were very busy.

Looking forward to a nice night of relaxing in that huge bed! It’s certainly an upgrade from the single dorm beds that we’re currently stuck with. Not sure what’s going on with those sheets and pillows though….

Although we missed our families very much this year, we had a wonderfully relaxing Christmas day in Korea.  We woke up late, opened presents, ate pancakes, talked to family  and dressed up for a fabulous 6-course dinner at a really great restaurant in Jeonju.  We also very happily celebrated our 1 year anniversary of being engaged!

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

With Love,  James & Charlotte

Here we are, hard at work marking English exams.  Epic afternoons of too much coffee, and multiple choice answer sheets.

At about midnight on Saturday, we popped into a soju tent for a quick snack.  Nothing like a steaming bowl of rice cakes covered in a spicy red pepper sauce after a long day of shopping!

After the passing of the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, Korean police officers lined the streets of downtown Seoul in anticipation of mass protesting and demonstration by the Korean people.

A quick coffee break from some serious Christmas shopping in Seoul.
