I have moved to new Korean home. I live with my father's friend, wife, and son. It is a 4 bedroom place in a 23 story building. It is a gated community with multiple buildings. It is a lot closer to work, so it is convenient for commuting because I only need to take a 5 min. bus ride and 10 min. subway ride. My hours at work are still the same, so I start early and end late. I am not sure if I will ever get more convenient hours, but I will continue for awhile at least.
For the most part, my Korean lessons are going well. I don't have enough time to study as much as I should, but I have learned the Hangul alphabet. This means that I can read letters, but have little or no clue what they mean. Grammar is quite different from English, so it is tricky to remember which order the words belong.
Last weekend, I went to a park with a teacher friend. She showed me the cherry blossoms. It is quite pretty because the trees will have pinkish-white petals. For a couple weeks each April, they blossom. After, the trees will have normal green leaves. During the couple weeks, thousands of people go to the parks to walk along the the cherry blossoms.

Nothing like adding another language that has no bearing on English. I was thinking of Tibetan as a hobby, but will have to wait until I get back to China to see if that is worthwhile.
Love the updates, keep the adventures coming.
