Shelly's Seoulfull Adventures

After life in Seoul...

What am I doing here? My year in teacher's college in Canada

The Traveling Teacher I now teach in Abu Dhabi, UAE and have started blogging again

Believing in Beirut I am moving to Beirut, Lebanon to teach in August 2011

So long..and thanks for all the kimchi!

Well that's it. My 3 years in Korea are officially over. I had a great time, made some AMAZING life long friends, taught the greatest kids on the planet, and damaged my liver just a tad :) I could reflect upon the awesomeness that has been Korea but I don't want to get all teary eyed. I had the best time of my life here and my life will never be the same again.

I had my OFFICIAL last night out in Seoul last night, and after 5 bottles of champagne and a whole lot of silliness I am not feeling so hot today, which sucks cause I have to pack up and get everything done! Here are my last photos I'll post here...

Thanks for stopping by and reading over the years. My new home will be HERE . There isn't anything up yet but once I get back to Ottawa I'll get it going.

Peace out Seoul.

My heart can't take much more of this..

I woke up at 645am this morning to say goodbye to Raymond before he headed off to Japan. Let's just say it was not an easy moment for either of us. It gives me comfort to know we will see each other again thank goodness.

I spent the day PACKING and CLEANING..and I think I've made some progress. One suitcase is packed and ready. One more to go then about 20 trips to the trash downstairs and some cleaning and all is done.

I'm about to get ready to go out and meet all my dear pals one last time and before I do I thought I'd watch a video that Cam made for me. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it yet but decided it was time. I thought I was done crying my eyes out but I was wrong..it was so great I loved every single second of it. I'm so lucky to have friends like I do, especially Cammy and SJ. Luckily I know I'll see them again too. I am dreading our goodbye tonight and I guess it will be a quick high five in the taxi when I get out..hopefully lots of love will go around tonight though.

I've really been thinking about how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people in my life and how special my friends are. At times I feel I don't deserve such love, but I'm so glad to have it.

I love you Cammy thanks for the beautiful memory I get to take home with me.

My next post will be my last as I have to give up my computer tomorrow. I'll post my new blog address then. xoxo

Today was AWFUL. Too many goodbyes, too many tears, too many crying students (that was the worst part)..I'm going to miss everyone so much. xoxo

I am about to go and teach my last day at LCI. My 3 years at work has come to an end and in 3 days I'll be home. I am feeling so many different emotions I don't know how I feel..I hope I can get through the day without crying.

Don't you ever forget...

This song will always make me long for my friends and our sing alongs..SEAAASOOONNNSSSS OFFFFFFFF LLOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEE!!!

Seasons of LOOOOOOOOOVE LOOVE LOVE don't describe how you feel like HOME TO ME.. I love you hate to have to say goodbye..but we will meet again. xoxoxo

I have to say goodbye to Raymond on Friday night...he is leaving for Japan on Saturday morning. I'm really not sure how I'm going to adjust to him not being in my life everyday.

It's my last week in Seoul..this time next Monday I'll be heading to the airport..

Overwhelmed by all of the love

Last night my friends managed to make me feel more special and loved then I think I've ever felt before. Words can not express how truly wonderful and amazing I think each and everyone of you are. I'm so lucky and fortunate to have all of you in my life and to Cam, Eve, Leonie, Chanyeong, and SJ...you really did make me feel like a princess with all the little touches and special things you added to the evening. I love you SOOO very much and will miss you so much my heart aches thinking about it. Thank you to Tony for the awesome slumber party, the wonderful breakfast, and the lounging and movie watching as the typhoon blasted the day with rain!

P.S. I'm sorry I stabbed the cake but Raymond suggested I do so in order to distract myself from crying xoxo
