Highlights of Our Life: Bye Bye Brittons

A year before we even got the ESL job in Korea, we knew we were going to go teach here. We would have done anything to get a job in Korea and actually landed a job before we even graduated college. Our friends, Tyler (whom Bobby has known since they were kids), and his beautiful wife, Natalie, knew they were coming here that far in advance as well. We were lucky enough to get placed in the same city and only a 10 minute cab ride away from each other. We really enjoyed sharing this experience with them. They were a piece of home for us here in Korea. We loved getting together with them to try new foods, meet new people or go and see the city togeher.

Unfortunately, their time here is coming to an end. We are sad to see them go, but they are off to bigger, better and colder things in ALASKA! They are moving to a tiny village that only has a total of 200 families. There, they plan to teach, fish and hunt. I think it will be more of a culture shock than this huge city of 3.6 million. Neither of them have ever lived in a small town, so I think this will be a great experience for them. Please jump over to Natalie's Blog Here and read more about their adventure and the town they are moving to.

On one of their last weekends here, we decided to meet at Gwangli Beach for one last beach session together before they moved. We enjoyed some of Bobby's home brewed Kombucha and beer. As we sat and sipped our refreshing drinks, we remised about this past year. All of the new people we have met, the places we have gone, and how we have all grown individually and together as couples. All of us have found things that we are passionate about and we are all seeking to become better in these trades. Natalie wants to be become a writer, but more specifically, a professional blogger. She enjoys being creative and writing about her experiences from around the world. Tyler has found a passion for filming and writing short movies. He plans to create a few short films while in Alaska and then continue his passion in California. Bobby, as we know, has become very passionate about fermenting beverages and has plans on trying to ferment different foods. And as for me, I am passionate about my life. I have always wanted to fall in love with an adventures, caring man and travel the world. I am passionate about learning and planning our adventures.

Once home from the beach, we all went for a walk to Seomyeon and ended up at the Makogli restaurant Ty and Natalie showed us a few weeks ago. Isn't this a great photo of them?

Wait.. what is that in-between them? Oh that is just a penis. Don't worry, you find wood statues of them at many Korean restaurants. Why? I have no idea. ^ ^

Since Tyler and Natalie frequent this place so much some of the workers were sad to hear they were leaving in a few short weeks and decided to pose for a photo with them.
