The beaches, surfing and the World Cup

Hello everyone,

We are still enjoyiong ourselves and are getting out to our favorite beaches three times a week. We have even started surfing. The waves don't get that big but it's a great place to learn. Our friend is lending us his board until he gets his cast off. The water is great and this past week, we had our first visitor from backhome. Karina's brother, Christopher came out for a short drop-in. He's off to Fiji to live on a boat for a bit.
We had a great time with him and took him up the mountain and to the beaches. We did them both on the same day. It was nice to have him around and show someone how we live and introduce him our friends. We watched a few World Cup games at our bar and then went to the beaches. The water is nice and we hope to be experienced surfers by the end of the year. The best part is we don't need wetsuits.
Karina and I are having fun and living the life. We are off to the beach in the morning, then teach for a few hours then relax and get ready for our next outing. The weather is beautiful and we always have something to do.

World Cup fever.

It's awesome being in a country that is actually playing in the World Cup. Korea plays tomorrow and we are going to watch the game at the Stadium on the island. I can't wait to experience of 20 thousands fans cheering on their team. For the past 2 weekes, everyone is wearing supporters shirts and everyone is going to watch the game. The only problem is that the games are pretty late for us, 10 PM, 1 AM and 4 AM.

Next week, we have volleyball on the beach and then we are off to Ulsan for an Ultimate Hat Tourney. We will visit Ulsan a bit and get to play some ulty. Everything is going so quickly here, we will be travelling before we even know it. We finalising our itinerary for when we are finished working here. China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, New Zealand, Austrailia and Fiji here we come.

Talk to yo all soon,

Christian and Karina
