Jared is there, safe and sound.

Finally heard from Jared.
Woke up to this email.

"i didnt sleep at all and i was stuck between a marine officer that was as big as arnold, and a really fat and stinky army sarge. (i was cramped)
and i didnt sleep at all
i watched push, the escapist, the fast and the furious, xmen origins wolverine, and something else

push actually wasnt that bad

the escapist was good

the rest sucked

anyway im safe, the power cord on the laptop broke already... cant get a phone for a few weeks... so... contact will be intermittent."


So hopefully he'll be able to buy a new one or fix his laptop cord.

Jared is off to Korea...again!

Jared will be in Korea for a whole year this time.
He will be teaching "Spoken English" to elementary school students.
Teaching during the regular school year and Summer programs.

This is part of the,
TaLK Program
National Institute for International Education
Kyung Hee University ( Suwon Campus)
Seocheon-dong, Giheung, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

This is further south than he has been before. He'll be out in the country.


We had to get up around 5:30AM to get to the airport for Jared's 7:45 flight to Atlanta.
From Atlanta it is a straight flight to Korea. About a 15 hour flight.
