Prologue

Dear Readers,

Though many of you probably know us through school, work or because we share genetic material with you, I thought I would begin our blog with a quick "who we are" - for all those random internet searchers who may have no idea who we are, how we ended up here or why they are reading this.

Neil and Miko
Chapters 1 - 5

This is Neil.



And this is Miko.



Fast forward about 27 years to August 22, 2009.



Yup - that's right - we got married. Since we were now bonded in holy matrimony, there was only one thing to do.



Move to South Korea to teach English, which I imagine will look something like this:



Now I know those of you who know us are thinking "But Miko, you didn't move to Korea after the wedding - you moved in with your mom". And how right you are. Because we were delayed in our travels to Korea until November, we had lots of time for...

Some hiking:



A trip to New York:



And for Neil to have one last night on the town with Einstein:



Okay - so that last one didn't really happen. What did happen was that on November 23, 2009 Neil and I had finished all our farewells and began our adventure to the other side of the world.



After 3 months of waiting, 15 hours of flight and 2 days of training with our prospective school, we packed our bags and headed back home.



BUT WAIT! - That's not the end of the story - that's just the false start!

On January 20, 2010 after 1 more month of waiting, about 4 more Christmas celebrations and 2 severe bouts of jet lag we were on our way again. And by January 23, 2010 we were unpacked, settled in and enjoying our happy little life on Geoje Island, South Korea.



And that brings us to now. Living life and blogging about it for the foreseeable future. Thanks for reading - and stay posted!
