This past weekend we visited the in-laws house for the last time before I leave for Canada in June. My wife will make one more trip down to visit her mother after I’ve left and then that is it. In any case we took a lot of photos. I’ll share a few here but to see more go check out my flickr set: Chungchungbuk Do where there are some older photos as well as 40+ from this trip down.

This morning I was sending off emails to a couple of schools and the school board in Toronto trying to find information about enrolling my kids when I stumbled upon a buried link on one site that brought me to the Newcomers’ Guide to Elementary School which looks to have lots of good information including:
- Getting Ready for School (including registering for school)
- School Procedures
- Parent Involvement and Communicating with the Teacher
and more. The information is available in 20 languages including Korean. I will definitely be checking out the rest of the Settlement.org site with my wife.
Today is parents day in Korea and our kids did a really great job surprising us. They really prepared a lot of special things for us including several letters and pictures. When they woke up this morning they hid their envelopes in the living room and told us to go hunting for them. The kids had a lot of fun watching us look for their surprises.
They also did a really good job writing in both Korean and English – Veronica’s (9 years) English has really come a long way – she helped Calvin (5 years) with his letter by writing it down first for him and then he copied what she wrote. Good job guys.

Yesterday I met my good friend Duane for dinner, but before meeting him I walked around Yonsei University doing some photography. This is part of my series of photo sets on flickr of University Campuses – You can see the whole Yonsei University set here. I’m also including a few of my favorite shots from that set.
In any case as I was walking around I was approached by someone I hadn’t met before but knew me from this blog. I was surprised to find out that I actually have readers who aren’t on my facebook friends list. I talked to Michael Kealey for a several minutes and he seems like a great guy. Was really nice to meet a reader and I hope he enjoys the photos here.
