About Us

My photo
Jenna and Emilie are two Canadian girls who, after experiencing four amazing years of university together in Victoria, BC, decided to keep the good times rolling by moving together to South Korea. We are now living in a city called Suncheon in the southern province of Jeollanamdo. Both of us teach English at public elementary schools to the cutest kids in the world, and we live in an apartment complex called 'Shedae' with about a 100 other foreigners. We hope this blog will keep us connected to friends and family at home, allowing everyone to follow the whirlwind adventures we are sure to have while living in the far east! Lots of Love, Emilie and Jenna

The 10 BEST things about Korea so far:

  1. The cute Korean kids at our schools
  2. Cheap taxis! You can get basically anywhere in the city for under $5
  3. Cheap food! Our favourite restaurant has nothing over $5. And don’t forget, you don’t have to tip in Korea!
  4. The wonderful people in Korea – everyone is so nice and willing to help you, always.
  5. Being told you are beautiful about 982 times per day
  6. Free stuff! "Service" is very common in Korea, and is basically just extra stuff that comes with whatever you buy. Service can be anything from stickers and pens to boxes of crackers or laundry detergent.
  7. Jenna’s principal at her school (around 50 years old) who reminds her daily that he is "28 and single."
  8. The cell phones! The phones here are way better than anything at home and extremely cheap
  9. The fact the volleyball is the BIGGEST deal in Korea, and on Wednesdays we end school early so the teachers can play volleyball/drink soju.
  10. ....SOJU!
