Miss Rebecca and Seoul

Seoul Sisters!!!

This is the story of how mine and Miss Rebecca's paths aligned at the most perfect moment in time. Given our situations, one may find our connection quite likely. However, I disagree and here's why... So, as a preliminary step to obtaining an E2 teaching Visa in Korea, you must have a background check processed and apostilled. After stumbling around on the internet and ordering an unqualified online version (as my recruiter suggested btw), I found myself at the CBI office. As fate would have it, (Now enter, Rebecca) I am walking in, Rebecca is walking out. A little background - Rebecca is originally from South Carolina. She came out to CO for a year to teach at a Montessori school in Ft. Collins. Her year had ended and she was moving back to SC, literally that week, to have her interview with the consulate's office and then pack for her adventure in Korea. We happened to see one another and struck up a convo .... Rebecca left for Korea 2 weeks prior to my departure! The rest is history.

I took the bus into Seoul to meet up with Rebecca last weekend. Reunited at last!

Mandu (pronounced "mon-doo")!!! This is the wikipedia definition of Mandu, here. However, my definition of Mandu is, "Heaven in a bite-sized pillow of scrumdiddlyumptious". I think I would be ok if all I ever ate for the rest of my life were delicious Manduuuu!
Seoul adventure to be continued...
