Home Again, Naturally

Emily and I returned from our week long holiday on Sunday. We went to Seoul for Korean Thanksgiving (Chuseok) which was a six day holiday this year. Not too shabby! We had a good time going to a bunch of different restaurants and markets. Some friends of ours came and joined us on Thursday (we left Monday) and we spent a couple of days together. It was a grand ol' time!

As a sidenote, everyone here in South Korea (that we know) is fine. The nuclear test in the north has yet to affect us and (in all reality) they're not really aiming at us. It's quite interesting to be here in South Korea for this whole season of international politics. Emily and I have really seen a different side of things than is presented in North America. Basically, North Korea isn't as bad as they're made out to be (not saying that they're normal, just that they're not as bad) and America has a different international reputation than it portrays at home.

It's interesting to watch, to say the least.

Anyway, things are good and we're doing well. That's it for now!
