New Friends

These are some of the cool people that Mykie and I are hanging out with on the weekends. We all met during our teacher training during our first few days in Korea.

But...

Last night we went out with this new girl named Beth. My Korean co-teacher bumped into her and her friends at the dentist a few weeks back. While at the dentist my Korean co-teacher pimped me out to this girl and her friends. Beth gave my Korean co-teacher her number and we have been chatting through email. We finally met last night. Went for coffee and dinner. Had a great time with her. She is really nice. She already has a large social circle here and they are all eager to meet us. I am excited. She gave us a lot of valuable information about things that we needed info on. Sorry, but I cannot post what she said...

The people in the above picture have been here as long as I have so they are not as familiar with Korea as Beth and her friends. Some of her friends have been here for years. They are great resources for us. I look forward to spending time with them. And, there is a handful of Canadians in that group.

  1. Being a traveler opens up so many possibility to making tons of friends. It is so hard to make friends in your own city sometimes. Once you are travelling making friends becomes second nature. Too bad that nature goes away at home for most.
