Emilia's España Aventura: December 2009

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 7, 2009. A few weeks ago I took a bus/boat/van trip with my Bible study group to a Korean island called Ulleungdo. The group wanted to get away for some much needed down time, so we decided to head to an island that harvests eighty percent of Korea's squid. It's a random place to go for rest and relaxation, but it turned out to be the perfect spot. Everyone was so cold that we all fell asleep by eight o'clock. EIGHT O'CLOCK ON A SATURDAY NIGHT! Who said teachers weren't exciting?

Emilia's España Aventura: November 2009

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 5, 2009. I think I look a little bit like Lloyd when I drive my scooter. That's right; I am now the proud owner of a scooter! I've been contemplating buying one for months, but impulsively purchased one three weeks ago. It's been exhilarating (carefully! Whipping through the streets and alleyways of my dong (neighborhood). And yes, I wear a helmet every time I ride. She's not fast, but she's my 250,000 won bundle of joy. Any suggestions for names? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Emilia's España Aventura: Espana principios....sort of.....

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2010/09/espana-principiossort-of.html

Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Espana principios.sort of. That's right. I'm back. It's been too long, but I'm back. Here's the skinny on my new life in Spain: I like my roommates, my new job, and the crazy city of Madrid. I'm still adjusting to the differences between Eastern and Western culture and not being the minority for once, and I still miss Korea quite a bit, but time is always the best medicine. Here's a quick peek at my new life. In front of the palace. Plaza Mayor at sunset.

Emilia's España Aventura: October 2009

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Back in Minnesota, fall break usually involved sleeping in, visiting an orchard, watching tons of movies, or shopping for new winter clothes. This year my fall break included celebrating the birth of Communism, walking halfway across a bridge to North Korea, and escaping to Russia through a wire fence. Every trip truly has its own charm.

Emilia's España Aventura: October 2010

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 15, 2010. October 12th- Spanish National Day. I love getting random holidays off as an overseas teacher. It's usually an excuse to sleep, but it's also important to partake in the culture of the host country. October 12 was Spain's National Day. I got up early to attend a military parade with a few friends. Spain definitely flexed their military muscle. I've never seen so many tanks and soldiers marching on the street! They even had a ski patrol! I think that's the right phrase.). Awesome...

Emilia's España Aventura: 노란색 별표! Estrella Amarillo!

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2010/05/estrella-amarillo.html

Monday, May 31, 2010. I can get a little obnoxious when I start learning a new language. Once I muster up the energy and motivation to actually learn. Amidst learning Spanish, I realized that I have no idea how to say yellow star in Korean. I will definitely learn how to say yellow star by next Tuesday. This comment has been removed by the author.

Emilia's España Aventura: August 2009

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 22, 2009. I remember my first snow day as a teacher back in Minnesota. I cranked up the heat. I actually shoveled the driveway by myself for the first time in my life. I watched MANY episodes of Scrubs and Friends over a 48-hour period. Life the last three days has been similar to a snow day, but snow hasn't been the reason to stay home. H1N1 has been the culprit. Monday, August 10, 2009. The 1000 Kilometer Summer. I felt like I was going a 1000 kilometers an hour! It takes 15 hours and ...

Thursday, March 17, 2011. I don't really like to ski, but I LOVE après-ski! What a great activity! Here are some pics of my trip to Chamonix with eight other coworkers from Spain. I am AWFUL at skiing. Seriously, I snowplow on a BUNNY HILL. It's that bad. That's goodness my friend Amy is from the Midwest and just as bad as I am! Its fun to see your amazing adventures, Emily!

Emilia's España Aventura: January 2010

http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 25, 2010. I sometimes wonder if Austin Powers couldn't be the International Man of Mystery anymore, what else would he do for a profession? I know it's a random and stupid thought, but it's consuming my thoughts as I prepare to head to London on Thursday for a job fair. I'm excited to finally know what continent I'll be living in next year. Stay tuned for details! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). English teacher living in Madrid! View my complete profile.

Friday, February 18, 2011. I"m going to try writing shorter posts. I feel too much pressure to write long posts! Mostly from myself, but I can't stare at my empty blog anymore! I know it's a little late to introduce the new year, but better late than never! The start of 2011 has been great thus far! 1 Going to Manila to visit Alan for Christmas break. 2 Bre and Leah came to visit at the beginning of February. It was so great to some Korea folks! 3 Signing up for the Madrid half marathon!
