Settled

Reunited

 We moved into a house on post a week after we arrived in country.  This is the first time we've ever lived on post and it's definitely different.  One of the reasons we've always loved living off post is that it really forces us to get out and explore the city.  We ultimately decided to live on post for the sake of the dog.  As I mentioned before, not much in Korea is large-dog friendly.  Living on post we have a house with a fenced yard that will accept our 70+ pound German Shepherd.  We live on Camp Walker which is about a 45 minute bus ride to Camp Carroll where Adam works.  Our house is only 3 blocks from the preschool, which Lucas LOVES, by the way.  The medical clinic is close by, the commissary is here, and the PX is just a short walk away.  Living on post is nice for the convenience, especially while overseas.  Although I do think it would be awesome to live in a high rise apartment and really explore the city, living in a house on post is fantastic.

The first week was super busy.  Adam was in-processing with the battalion so Lucas and I explored a bit.  We got enrolled in Tricare, applied for our visas, and relaxed.  Tyler, an awesome guy Adam met at CCC, is also stationed here.  He has been SUPER helpful and we are so grateful.  His wife, Michelle, and dog, Keeter, just arrived from the States.  Keeter had quite the adventure on the plane but thankfully they all arrived safe and sound.  It is so nice to have friends here!

We've been trying new food, even Adam.  Beef and leaf are popular restaurants here.  The beef is cooked at your table and it comes with a ton of side dishes and lots of leaves.  You're supposed to wrap the cooked beef in a lettuce leaf to eat it but we normally just eat the food separately.  One such restaurant had the coolest play area for kids.  It had video games, slides, and a trampoline floor.  Lucas regularly asks to go back there but he'll settle for the indoor play place at Burger King.
