What's Been Going On?

I've been a little lacking in the blog writing department of late. I suppose that's what comes of settling into the day-to-day grind of life. There's not often a great deal to tell. We've been staying at home a lot, saving for our holidays, etc.

We did venture out on Sunday however. Samantha and I decided that we should do something with our weekend, rather than just hanging around where we live. Also, just the two of us to do something rather than in the usual group. Anyway, we went to Seoul Grand Park where the National Museum of Contemporary Art is located. We'd ment to go there before, but didn't make it.

It was easy to get there. There is a subway right at the entrance to the park. We strolled into the park on what was a pleasently warm summer's day, along with hordes of others who'd also had the same idea. Seoul Grand Park is a big place, containing Seoul Land theme park, a big zoo, the museum and mile after mile of parks and gardens.

The museum was the otherside of the lake, so we decided to get the chair lift over the lake to get us there. Samantha (being scared of heights) was very brave, and even enjoyed the ride.

The museum was good, if somewhat small for a national museum. We spent the afternoon wandering around the exhibits, soaking in the culture. Afterwards we caught the 'elephant train' back to the park entrance and headed home. When we arrived back in Suwon we hooked-up with Jorge for BBQ.

Monday was school as usual, but today is a holiday. Another one of those weird Korean mid-week things. No worries, it's a day off so I'm not complaining. We've got an easy week this week anyway, as apart from the extra day off, we don't have to go into school until the afternoon on Thursday as we have no kindergarten to teach that day. It's also the Pop Song Festival that day, so no lessons, we just have to listen to the kids murder classic songs all day.

This weekend is the Mud Festival, a big gang of us are going so it should be fun.
