The summer heat continues here in Korea, but the rain season has stopped. A few days ago it was 42 degrees with the humidity. It has been a hot and sticky summer, but it has gone by very quickly. This week brings the end to another series at work, so we will have more new students soon.

I have been doing a lot of traveling in Korea lately. I did a relaxing weekend in Ulsan which is on the south coast. A shopping weekend in Seoul with the girls. This weekend I hit up Gampo for the Moon Kkang summer beach party. It was a beautiful day for the beach and a nice chance to meet other Moon Kkang workers from other parts. Mr. Moon even made an appearance in a speedo. After the beach we headed to Gyeongju (the oldest city in Korea) for a buffet supper and back to Daegu for drinks.

July was a busy month so I think the next few weeks are going to be pretty low key. In September I have planned a trip to Busan for shark diving, and my Chuseok holiday. I am looking forward to a nice break from work, but the travel planning for Chuseok is not going as well as planned. It is a popular time for Koreans to travel so ticket prices are high. Originally I had planned on doing Thailand and Cambodia, but it looks like Japan and Thailand now. The best ticket prices are from Japan so we are looking at taking a ferry to Japan spending a couple days there and then heading to Thailand. Regardless of the travel plans a 9 day break from the kids is going to be very nice.
