Winter break in Australia and Thailand

Finally a new blog! Sorry it took so long but i've been away for the last little while enjoying my winter break in the summer weather! I spent most of my holiday in Australia but also spent a couple days in Thailand on my way back to Korea. Australia was amazing, I loved it. It reminded me a lot of home which was nice because I needed to get back to the western world. I stayed in Perth which is on the west coast of Australia. It was very laid back and the people were really nice. Unfortunately everything closed pretty early around 6 or 7, but i guess that was also good since it's so expensive there! But it was a nice break from the busy lifestyle I have in korea. The beach was one of the best I've ever been to. I spent most time relaxing by the beach, shopping and some day trips. One of which included going to the petting zoo and seeing kangaroos and kowalas. The best part was getting to hold a kowala. I also went to an aquarium where I got the see the diversity of the ocean creatures found in the west part of australia. I definately wanna go back and see the eastern side of australia. I've included some pics for you to see. The first is of me and my new friend. The second is of the beach where I was, the 3rd is when we went fishing except i didn't do much of that i just enjoyed the view, we were lucky because a couple dolphins were in the area. The 4th is of my cousin Danielle, her boyfriend Mike and I at new years enjoying some very good and expensive wine. The last is of me and a kangaroo i saw at the petting zoo. Hope you enjoy, and I also added a blurb on Thailand if you scroll down.

Hello,

My name is Paola. I hope this message finds you well. I have been giving much thought to the idea of teaching in Korea for a year, but I really wanted some insight from someone who is currently there. As I can see, you already have requests from other people asking for your help. :)

If you would be so kind, as to provide me with more insight into your experience, perhpaps tips on applying for the position, or anything else you might think is necessary or helpful I would greatly and truly appreciate it.

Also, I needed someone to help me locate something specifically in Korea. Perhaps, you might be able to help me with that as well.

If you feel comfortable enough to do so, please e-mail me at
Paloli003@aol.com at any time.

Thank you so much for your time, and I definitely hope to hear from you very soon. I hope you continue to enjoy your stay in Korea. Have a wonderful rest of the week.

Kind Regards,

Paola

Just to bring your attention to something on your blog. I don't know what you teach in Korea but if it is English then I hope you've not spelt koala as kowala in the classroom. The correct spelling is K O A L A

Hi there! I actually have a similar comment to the first two :)

I am seriously thinking about teaching abroad with the 'Teach Away' company, and I was wondering if you could tell me about the process, your experiences with the company, etc. :)

How do you like it over there? It looks like you are having a lot of fun!

If you have time, could you please shoot me an email? I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks!
