Two weeks from today we will be in Cambodia. It is amazing that our time in Korea is almost over! We got back from Tokyo late Sunday night and had a blast. Although geographically close, there were very few similarities between Japan and Korea. The people were friendly beyond belief, so helpful, the food was great, the streets were cleaner than any other city we've visited and it was super expensive! Although we only had three days there, we made the most of it and packed as much sight seeing as possible. We learned a valuable lesson never to wear flip flops while sight seeing again!!
Our apartment is pretty much empty. Everything we've accumulated over the past year has been thrown away, passed down to other foreigners living here or shipped back home. Even our suitcases are packed! We get into Phnom Penh, Cambodia on June 25th and stay there for 4 days before flying to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat. From there we fly to Hanoi, Vietnam where we'll stay for about 12 days. We plan on taking a boat cruise for 3 days of Halong Bay as well as some type of tour to see the very north part of Vietnam. Then we fly to Bali for a couple of weeks which we're REALLY looking forward to. Everything about Bali looks absolutely amazing!! We have a layover in Malaysia for a night before going to Hong Kong for 3 days and then....TORONTO!!!! We're so excited about coming home!!
The next couple of weeks should be pretty busy. A family we teach invited us out on Sunday night for dinner which should be...interesting. At first we thought we were agreeing to have sushi. As it turns out, this is a different kind of raw fish experience. My student described a "wood colored fish in a bowl of ice water with vegetables and red hot sauce." Things we wouldn't have dreamed of putting in our mouths a year ago have become tolerable to even enjoyable, but it sounds like this may be good for the photos only!
Anyway the World Cup starts today and we will of course be cheering for Canada, but we have to support Korea somehow!
