Yonsei University



We've spent a big part of Friday and shorter times on Saturday and Sunday at Yonsei University and will continue to spent time this week.

Welp, since arriving in Seoul, I have been busy. Teaching Spanish here is a fabulous experience... my kids are fantastic, the school is supportive, I've turned a new leaf in my life AND the pay isn't bad either. :)
