Well... it seems we fell off the blogging wagon once again. I'd like to say that it's because we've been extremely busy, but that would just be a lie. The truth is we're lazy... plain and simple. Even today, as I sat down to start this very blog, I procrastinated and checked hockey stats for half an hour before finally deciding to get on with it. And here I am... about to tell you about Chuseok, the Korean version of thanksgiving and our wonderful first excursion in the country. This holiday is such a big deal that it is actually a Korean national holiday... and because of it, schools are closed on the Monday and Tuesday across the country. And because our schools are super cool, they also close down for the Wednesday! We would have all of 5 days to dedicate to traveling the country. Yes, after only three weeks into this wonderful country, we would have our first chance to explore.

The complexities of the Korean school schedule... and other random stuff
OK so we're slowly catching up to where we are now. But before I get on with the chronology of our time in Korea, I thought I would share some random information that I can't really put back in its context because I forgot.

And then it was the weekend!
I realized I never talked about the money situation much other than mentioning that the exchange rate was more or less $1 for 1000KRW. So I figured I would start my blog off with a little mention of the monetary system if only to explain how it works and how much we spent since we got here!!!
