Today was our last day in Korea’s Hawaii; a little paradise known as Jeju Island. We didn’t know before today, but Jeju Island played an integral part of the division between North and South Korea. In advance of our Korea DMZ Tour, and living here as temporary expats we wanted to spend some time worldschooling on Jeju to learn...
Moab is home to one of the most famous National Parks in the United States: Arches National Park. This park is full of amazing hikes, stunning views, and hot hot heat! The temperature hovers above 100 in the summer, and hits 80 during the off season. The most important thing you need while visiting the park is...
One of my most favorite Icelandic Christmas traditions is the exchange of books on the evening of the 24th of December. After a feast, which begins promptly at 6p, presents are opened by all. Included in the gifts is always the traditional gift of a book. The rest of the evening and the entirely of Christmas Day is spent...
Every weekend since we have arrived here in South Korea there is a street fair held at Triple Street. And every weekend since we’ve arrived we’ve wanted to check it out, but we always had something going on that prevented us from being able to. So with nothing else on the schedule, we decided today would be the day...
Grocery shopping in Japan is like stepping into an alternate universe.

After 3 weeks of bedtime stories about Konichiwa Kitty and Sayonara Dog, with an accompanying song no less (that remarkably ended up sounding a lot like the tune of Keep the Commandments), it was finally time to visit the Original Hello Kitty Store in Tokyo.
I’m not sure if I expected a factory, or a warehouse, but I know that...
The twins baptism is fast approaching, and since they are getting baptized in Korea we thought it would be special to incorporate as much of the Korean culture as possible. We’d been browsing the stores as we went about our adventures, but we needed to dedicate some time to really finding some dress clothes for both kids. The plan...
