We’re back in the USA! We have a lot to catch up on. It’s been super busy traveling and seeing friends and family. So I’ll go back to (almost) where we left off and try to catch you all up. Keep checking this site for more soon! When school ended, we...

Well, we are official – or at least official enough to warrant a visit from the Evernote Korea Team (click the photo above to see the Evernote Korea Blog about KiS). The KiS Community was happy to host Evernote for four hours to show them how we do...

Way back in early March, we had an amazing experience that I never posted on the blog, so here’s a trip down memory lane, to when we helped light a mountain on fire. On purpose. People fly into Jeju from the mainland and all over to attend. Hotels are booked....

Tuesday, May 6, was Buddha’s birthday! Did you miss it? It’s not too late to send a card… For us, Buddha’s birthday meant a 5-day weekend. Woot! We celebrated by going Korean-style camping with some of our school staff friends. The tent (below)...

Okay folks, what is my number one reason for using Evernote? Blogging on the go (and yes that image was shamelessly taken from Evernote’s website). Well, that seems counter intuitive since I am writing this in WordPress and I am singing the praises of Evernote...
