Halfway there (take 2)

Around this time last year, I did a post rounding up the highlights of the first half of my year in Korea. Reading it now, I can't believe how much happens in such a short space of time. When you are living in foreign lands, your drive to do more and learn more is much higher, I hope to still have some of that when I return back home in a few months time. It's that time of the year again, half way through - time to check in on some amazing experiences so far - gosh the year is just flying!

went home to South Africa for the holidays- I landed on the 1st of January - almost didn't come back

stopped in Hong Kong on a layover to visit Hong Kong Disney Land

arrived just in time for Kerry's bachelorette party and wedding at Groot Constantia - hello Mrs Rosser

started teaching at an all girls school (last year i taught boys)

said good bye to some dear friends - but also got to sleep in a ship going nowhere

went Paint balling for the first time

learnt to ski 

learnt to ride a bike

got to watch a Broadway musical

got my hair (dreadlocks) twisted by a korean

went to a jimjilbang and got an ajuma scrub (blog post for another day)

visited the biggest department store in the world (certified by Guinness World Record)

did a cooking class 

celebrated teachers day

volunteered at a centre for North Koreans teaching English (cannot post pictures for their protection)

did a few korean language lessons

had some laughs while doing students speaking tests. 

To name just a few. It's been an amazing few months and already feel sad at the thought of leaving Korea in a few months, its a good thing its not over yet. I have learnt so much and with my task list of things to do, I hope to continue with the adventures even when I get back home.

Final thoughts
It's time to take stock, what have you been up to this year so far? Have you been keeping to your new resolutions if you had any?
