Our New Wheels!

The Coopers have just added to the traffic congestion on the Korean roads with the purchase of our new car. Being in Korea, we had no choice but to buy a Kia – a Kia Carens is its official name. As part of my new job we were able to get an interest free loan through school, and all the extras like registration, insurance, maintenance, and even gas (LPG) is paid for by the school – a pretty sweet deal. Having a car will allow us to get out and explore a bit more of Korea, particularly outside of the major cities, so we are very excited about this prospect.

I wonder how many times I’m going to get in on the right hand side of the car and wonder where the steering wheel has gone?

The kids had a ball ripping off all the plastic.

We're Back!

Well after a long summer break, we are back in Korea and putting the Blog back into action. I had some big plans for posting regularly during our holidays, but I’m afraid it just simply didn’t happen. We had a great break, and it was great to catch up with family and friends whilst enjoying the beautiful weather and outdoor lifestyle of Australia. I’ve decided to make our first update a pictography – after all a picture is worth a thousand words, and there is no possible way that I could capture our Australian adventure in under several thousand words. Hope you enjoy the happy snaps.

Now that's a sunset!

We even got to feed a wild dolphin

This is what happens when you run on the sand without shoes - lesson learned

The kids had a ball climbing the sand dunes - what a backdrop

The good thing about traveling with the kids is we now have someone to take photos for us

Is this the next Steve Irwin?
