Here is a really promising description of the place I'll be living!

Their motto is "Hope is flowing through like the river". How cool! I like this place already!

And WOW!!!!! So I just found out one of Chuncheon's sister cities is none other than ADDIS ABABA, which is where I went in Ethiopia! This little fact really makes me smile! :D What are the odds???!?!!!! Here is the website where I found that bit of awesome information:

From there, a link to the official website of Chuncheon city can be found. Looks so cute and fun! There are three major Universities in the town, so I think it will be a fun, cute college town! Very modern, because town was rebuilt after being basically destroyed in the Korean War. However, also a lot of history and awesome natural beauty!

I know if my moving there is meant to happen, it will work out. I am trying not to let myself get too excited, in the event that it does NOT work out... although I am really reallllly hoping it does :) There are just so many things that need to happen, and happen correctly on both ends, before I can start teaching October 5th (which is less than a month away!). I am getting a little freaked out about not having a departure date yet, but I guess it makes sense that I can't have that until I have official permission from the Korean gov. to live there for a year... so, I am hoping the Visa process runs smoothly. That is the next major hurdle (after this darn apostille, of course)!

I think it's safe to say this process has already helped me grow greatly in my faith :)
