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 Best of EnGrish

As many of you may know, "engrish" is the commonly used term to describe the very commendable yet hilarious attempts Koreans make at speaking/writing english. "Engrish" gets its name because there is no "L" sound in the Korean language and often the "R" sound is used in its place. We hear/see engrish everyday, and it hasn't ceased to make me smile or even laugh out loud whenever I encounter it. Besides the most common "engrish" phrase,  (teacher) "How are you?" (student) "I'm pine!" (regardless of whether they are fine or not), I've started to compile a collection of funny engrish signs for everyone at home to enjoy.


Bakeries have recently risen in popularity here in Asia ,

Ahh, got to love a happy family that's been nicely sauteed!

Well FIRST, I would argue that crap is not clean..

I really hope "hunt" was not meant to be used as a verb in this situation

and, finally...
