What were you grateful for this week? This week I am grateful for the awesome friends I’ve made here. This trip would be a lot lonelier with out them.

What was the most challenging part of this week?Unpacking! I don’t know why I always make such a big deal out of it, but I absolutely hate it.

Tell us about a “wow” moment you had this week. My host kid has been pretty sick these last couple of days so I’ve been doing anything I can to help.

Tell us about your week! We started off the week by flying back from Seoul. It took all day on Monday to get back home. Tuesday I spent all day unpacking and getting reorganized. I also needed a lot of time to rest up after that trip. It was really amazing but so exhausting! On Wednesday I met up with another au pair at a place called cloud park. It’s a little area that has a bunch of cafes, boba places and restaurants. It took me about two hours to get there. For some reason my bus decided to not come until all the other buses at that stop had come twice. Which I was not expecting so I was about an hour late to meet my friend. Whoops. So when I finally got there we drank some boba and studied Chinese for a couple of hours. The next day I met up with my friends at dongmen. One of my friends hasn’t been there yet so my other friend and I decide to show her around. We all ended up getting our nails done and then spent the remaining time shopping. We were a little short on money because all of us were just about to get paid so we couldn’t buy much. But we all got paid this week so we have plans to go back this Thursday. Something tells me we aren’t going to come back with much money. My host kid got sick at the end of the week so we all stayed in for the weekend.
