Summer in Busan – again
Summer has come to Busan, the Haeundae Beach is getting crowded and so is the traffic around our neighborhood. We are grateful to be able to walk down there in a few minutes, passing all the cars queued up for the same. That said, the business of the Haeundae Beach area does become claustrophobic now […]
Eventful Summer
(Sorry for the incompetent language, this is a revised version of a translation from the Danish version Post) Although the calendar says October it still feels unmistakably like summer – a nice, long and eventful one. The kids had a long summer holiday, a total of 8 weeks. Although it might sound very normal to […]
Beginning of summer holidays
Finally, through big need and anticipation, holidays have arrived with sun and a strong 25 degrees! The last couple of weeks have been filled with stress of preparing for holidays on mums behalf, long days as per usual for my dad’s part, whereas us we have been finishing off our exams and action week. We […]
A busy spring time
A lot has happened here in Busan since the last update on the blog, winter is past, spring has been nice and summer is slowly approaching with the more humid and warm atmosphere. Back in March we had visits, first by Rachel and Seamus, some of our friends from Sydney who now work as missionaries […]
Spring is arriving
It feels like only a short time ago we started work and school again after the long break at Christmas and New Year. The winter here in Busan has been cold and dry with day temperatures averaging around 5 degrees, but with frost most nights. Despite the low temperatures, the feel of winter is much […]
Christmas and New Year
This year the Christmas break was out of the ordinary. Not only did we not have any visitors, but we also had quite a long break together. For several reasons we have not been traveling together since we arrived here in Korea half a year ago, hence Kent had to use the rest of his assigned leave […]
Autumn in Busan
It is always exciting to experience a new place for the first time. Actually it feels much the same way for us, now that the season has changed from summer to autumn here in Busan. In fact, it came quite suddenly. For a month ago or so it was still hot, and we could sit […]
A visit from the grandparents
Here in Korea we have just celebrated the Chu-Suk, which is the equivalent of the Thanksgiving. For the Koreans this celebration involves visiting their families and showing the gratitude towards the older generations. Although unintentionally, it was therefor very well timed that Kents parent visited us for this week. Rikke picked them up in the airport […]
The move to Korea
Now it’s about time for an update on the status of our lives. The last real post we wrote when our house in Sydney was packed, and it is not because nothing happened since then. After our furniture had been packed, we went over to our lovely neighbors, Alison and Chris, where we were invited […]
Communication established from Korea
Finally we got the new Korean website to work. We are delighted to be able to share a little of our daily lives and experiences with you all. In short we can say that we live in Busan, in a nice apartment overlooking the water. We have enjoyed the long summer, the boys started in […]
