Decisions, Decisions

Tentatively, Ian and I have decided to visit Vietnam before embarking to Cambodia.  I tried to get some planning done today, but it proved too much work for my limited time between classes.

So far, that line is about all I know for certain.  I don't know much about SE Asia, so I'm starting from scratch.  If you have suggestions for the two areas we'll be in (3 days around Ho Chi Minh and 3 days around Siem Reap), please share!  I'll be sure to post details as they come into place.

As we were walking up to catch cabs to go to work, Chun wha drove by (she was coming from a meeting or something at Sinback) and picked us up.  Ian asked her about the trip to Andong and she said she would pick us up between 8 and 8:30 on Saturday morning.  I'm excited for another long day of adventure with them.


Tomorrow will be the first time Ian and I have ever worked on the same campus.  I'll tell you all about it.

Good night!

Plans are Forming

Today was another long day for Ian and me.  That seems to happen when you begin to count down to vacation.  I now have an hour break on Wednesdays because I was teaching three Essential 2 classes, but Chun wha moved the three students from my 4:30 class into other classes.  So, I used my time to work on our itinerary for Tokyo.  I hope I have time to finish it before we leave!  I also printed out a subway map for us to get comfortable with.  I've made some circles around areas we want to see.



The red circle is where our hotel is.  The yellow is Akihabara (Electric Town).  The Asakusa Senso-ji temple is circled in dark green and the Disney Resort is in light green.  The blue circles the Harajuku District and the orange is Shibuya, two close, but different shopping and entertainment districts.  We could also take an express bus from one of the stations to Mt. Fuji.


So, those are our basic plans.  I don't know if any of our followers have been to Tokyo, but if you have, give us advice!  Or is there something you've heard about in Tokyo that you think we should check out?


Tomorrow is our Christmas Eve!  Bummer that we have to work, but it could be worse, I suppose.  Good night!
