She is a student here in South Korea and she&#8217;s wondering if she could be covered by the National Health Insurance. I might have to write another post about it later on.

Only a third of this country&#8217;s population is Catholic or Christian. We do celebrate two religious events every year though &#8211; Buddha&#8217;s Birthday which falls on May 21 this year and Christmas Day. Last Friday, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m packing our tent, outdoor pillows, portable grill, tubes, and travel essentials for our very short summer vacation.
