Children's Day
We had a little fun on children's day making gimbap and sandwiches with the kids.
These two are sisters, the cutest pair, Elaine and Betty.

One more year.

I've decided to stay in Ulsan another year. Nothing really prompted the decision just the fact that I've grown comfortable here even though this isn't the most lively place to live. Myriad of factors go into it, not being ready to go home, indecision about job prospects back home right now, wanting to know more about this distant land and its surroundings, especially Japan and China which are both only 2 hours away by plane. Hopefully it's a good decision, I'll find out soon enough.
