Well I am finally back at the computer, ready to update! It has been quite a busy end of the year, but a fabulous one as well. David and I completed our house hunting trip down south just prior to Christmas. We are currently set to leave for Yeosu South Korea the first of April. Now for those that are not familiar with Davids project, he is working to build a chemical plant in Yeosu which will be completed in March of 2013. For the past few months we have been here in Seoul while the design phase has been underway. However, our life of leisure and convenience will end soon enough once we depart for the southern coast for the construction phase of the project. Yeosu is quite a bit different than Seoul but I am looking forward to meeting the challenges head on.
We found an awesome three bedroom apartment located right on the water with a little beach just across the road. Our complex has a really nice sized skate park, basketball court and climbing wall in addition to some really nice trails that surround the perimeter. There is even a mountain directly behind it which makes for some good hiking with Bear. The apartment itself has a nice open kitchen, two bathrooms with a shower and a tub as well as a nice side patio where can grow some plants. The entire unit is covered in hard wood floor with a built in heating system. I am most excited about all the extra space we will have and the many, many kitchen cabinets!
Apart from our unit, the town is quite pretty. It is surrounded by mountains and small islands in every direction. While there is a huge decrease in good clothing stores, they do have some nice looking boutiques and shops downtown. Unfortunately if we want to eat out, its most likely going to be Korean food. However, they have a Lotte Mart fairly close where I can get my American-ish style foods. Another perk is that David and I will be using our Korean pretty often, seeing as English is rare.
Overall we had a great trip to Yeosu. Our relocation agent was wonderful, despite her food choices for lunch of course. We got to see a number of different available apartments and experienced most of the major tourist sites within proximity. Now for all our friends and family out there, since we will be having a three bedroom unit, I encourage you to come visit! What could be better than a trip to Asia to see our lovely faces!!!
Lovingly....
