Welcome to Aaron and Callie's blog! We will be using this as a means to share our adventures, surprises, ponderings, and, most importantly, Korean kimchi reviews. :) Bear with us as this is our first venture into "blogdom."
After a few hiccups, we finally received our teaching placement. We will be living and teaching on a small island off the coast of Busan called Gadeokdo. Just this year they finished a bridge connecting the island to Busan as it was only accessible by ferry in the past. Following Seoul, Busan is the second largest city in South Korea and is the fifth busiest seaport in the world. We are looking forward to being close to this bustling city yet distant enough from the din to experience the natural beauty for which Gadeokdo is known.

We leave August 18 for Seoul and have a two week orientation before traveling to Gaedokdo. Prior to our departure, we will be between Minnesota and Illinois visiting family, friends, and attempting to learn Korean (which may just be more difficult than our 10 years of undergraduate classes combined!)
Until we speak again...
