Leaving for Guatemala City

The time has come for me to leave for my next adventure in Guatemala. I am currently waiting in my house to wake my dad up in 2 hours to take me to the airport. What an amazing visit home with family and friends. I have the best mom, dad, brother, and family I think in the whole world. We had a blast. I'm also so happy to be so much closer to them being in Guatemala than I was in Asia....I think it's a better move for everyone!

I'm a bit nervous about my next adventure but have a really good feeling about this move. I am planning to blog more as well about my adventures and am looking forward to a new country with new friends in a new house with a new culture.

Til next time,

Dustin

Blogging Absence

It's been awhile since my last blog. I must say that I have been quite busy with my two classes. I'm finished in 2 weeks and CANNOT wait. Only to start 2 more! The Lotte Giants are back in action. They played in Seoul this weekend, but I didn't go to the game. I just watched it on the television. It looks like I have about 8 weeks to go in Korea or less. I booked my flight and I leave permanently on June 13th. I have to start selling my things and closing my accounts as the end is near lol. I'm headed home after that to spend time with family and friends, and I just got an email that I have to be at my school in Guatemala on June 25th. So, I'll be home for 6 weeks not 7. anyway that's quite a long time to see everyone! I'm pumped. Well that's it for now. Nothing exciting, just the same ole stuff.

Reflecting on Cebu, Back in Korea

Island Hopping on Thursday was amazing...Went out on a boat all over Mactan Islands with a group of 5. All inclusive lunch and beer....food was great chicken, pork, fish, mangos and rice.

Friday Jerry, Dan, and I went to Kawasan Falls. It was a 3 hour road trip and was worth every minute of it.

Not going to write much more other than I had a great time, and I feel relaxed. Now I'm back in Korea and I'm cold again. I can't wait until summer in the USA!

Still lovin' it

It's Tuesday and I have to leave on Saturday from Cebu. I'm loving the Philippines. The people are so nice. It's incredible. Today I spent the morning resting and the afternoon in the jacuzzi. Now im just lying on a beach chair checking email by the pool. Nothing exciting today just a whole lot of nothing which is great!

I'm gonna be working on two assignments later on this week, but it's not that big of a deal

Last night went to the Waterfront Casino for an incredible buffet which was only about 13 dollars....

Love how cheap this place is.

Hopefully I'll have more to report next time I get out of this chair :).....Vacation..OH THE LIFE :)

Day 2 and 3 Philippines

Day 2 and 3 went by quite slowly in a good way. Day two was spent down by the pool. We met Steve from Australia, Jerry from Seattle, and Tonya from Hong Kong. We spent the day in the sun drinking and listening to music. We followed up the day with a nice buffet dinner at a fancy place called Marco Polo...After a long cab ride home to Mactan Island...it was time to rest..The food was delicious...but im so sun burnt...I'm in serious pain.

Today (day 3) we went to the beach. Pineapple shakes and watermelon smoothies with fresh fish at the restaurant. It was nice. Maribago Blue Waters is where we went...now im just resting...this weather is beautiful...i just hope i get over this sunburn LOL

Anyway...life is good :)

Cebu, Philippines Day 1

Arrived yesterday at 400pm in Cebu to find myself at a very secluded resort....its very peaceful. Went for a night swim and a beer at the pool and have enjoyed catching up on much needed rest. Today, I woke up and had a great breakfast. I'm off to the beach....more will come as soon as I get a grasp of the place....so far so good, weather is amazing, food is great, and the people are so friendly....til next time!

School Read-A-Thon

Today was a cool day at school. This week was Read-A-Thon week. To celebrate the end of the week, students and teachers dressed up as their favorite book character. A fellow K2 teacher brought in 3 animal suits and my co teacher dressed up as Harry Potter's girlfriend. Dan was the lion from the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Narnia), Jess (was a bunny I forget the story) and I was the Frog Prince....I still cant believe that we get paid to have this much fun.

Afternoon, is my last Spanish club. I am teaching the students how to make chicken tacos while using Spanish vocabulary :)

Tomorrow at 830am my flight leaves for Cebu (Mactan Islands) of the Phillipines...It's time for the beach!

Hasta luego!
