A very quick rundown of the latest news on my side of the world.

A lot has changed in the last few weeks.  I recently moved to a new part of Seoul called Apgujong.  I am working for a new company.  I like my job very much and the location is only a 4 min walk from my front door. This is the best part!  I can leave for work 15 min before start time and be 10 min early.  How awesome is that?

School and housing conditions.
My co-teachers are great.  I have 2. My boss is kind, fair and not a push over.  Those are the best sort of people to work under in my opinion.  My apartment is a rather large studio with a bathroom.  At first it was a little dreary and smelly (I would be lying if I said I was not a little disappointed).  The walls were stained yellow and brown from 20 years of daily living.  Thankfully the walls were stripped and re-wallpapered white today!  Much much better.  I had to take a cold shower everyday for a 2 week period (fairly pissed off every morning during the duration of the wash, but it doesn't hurt you).  The water heater is being worked on as I type and should be fixed rather soon.  All and all I am doing great over here right now.  I am meeting new friends and having new adventures on a weekly basis.  I boosted up the study time and I am improving my language skills.  I am starting to see all the little nuances of the language that you do not get from a book. 

My training is going well also.  I have reached a few milestones in my development as a boxer and also with my fitness goals.  I am now successfully doing 1 planch push up almost perfectly!  (Yeah, I know I am weird, but it takes a lot of training to do just one.)

I also am going to be coming home in about 4 months for a 10 day vacation.  The end of July to the beginning of August.  I am excited about that.  For all those that read this (and those that don't),  do not go anywhere that week!  I am coming to see you in Cinci, Columbus and my boys down South!!!!!

I am so very excited to be where I am right now.
Thanks for the read,
Deano!
