**GHD's** in Korea


So...we are both back safe and sound on South African soild, but I'm still feeling itchy to blog about stuff to help out those South Africans (and of course everyone else too!) living in Korea :)


Here is some info on GHD hair-straightners that I was researching just before we left..hope this helps any one trying to find info on it too!


In my opinion, GHD's are the bes thair- straighteners ever **although other people might disagree and say they just happen to have the best packaging and this ultimnately leads to everyone thinking they are the best** but enough with the digression! Click here for their official website and see for yourself *plus loads of free videos and tips for styling your hair!*


After some web surfing I came accorss some comments from other GHD fanatics. Apparantly the starightner goes by the name "B2Y" in South Korea. Umm, why? Who knows. But apparantly, the work as well if not better that the GHD, and at a price of +-W118 00 (R740) they are about half the price of GHD's in South Africa!


You can get your hands on one on gmarket *click here*. For more info on how to use Gmarket, *click here*.


Happy Shopping!

A few **NB** sites...


{source}
Here are some sites that I wouldn't have been able to live without in South Korea:

Korail: booking train tickets to all over Korea, online using your debit card *you may need to use this site with Windows Explorer to ensure everything works properly. Just hover over "booking" and then click on "book online"...easy peasy!

Gmarket: online shopping at it's most fabulous!!!! You will never be bored deskwarming again! Click here for some help on making purchases. But be warned, it's addictive!

AdventureKorea: great site that organises trips to festivals and other cool things around Korea. A really great way to meet new friends and their prices aren't bad either! We visited the DMZ with them!

Magik Aroma: yummy South African style crunchies made to order and really lovely home made soaps by the wonderful Mila Meter! For those feeling like a little taste of home.

Waygook: HUGE FREE database storage site that has LOADS of lesson ideas, lesson plans, winter/summer camp ideas and other forums to chat about all sorts of stuff. All you need to do is create an account (it's for free yippee!) and you are a-for-away!

English speaking Church in Daejeon: need I say more. A great place to meet amazing people and where you will always feel welcome :)

*think that's it for now, any others you feel are just as important as those above please feel free to comment!*

Arriving back in South Africa!!

After a grueling 25 hours of traveling and waiting around at airports (and the huge hasstle of discovering that I was very much overweight despite my careful packing!), Farmboy and I arrived here in South Africa safetly :) And have already stuffed our faces silly with delicious bread rolls filled with ham, gourmet cheeses, basil, sundried tomato and *avocado*! Yum Yum Yum!










What a lovely surprise to see both my mom and dad waiting for us :) And a very special stop at my Granny And Grandpa for breakfast!




And so begins the next chapter in our lives. We will of course still be keeping this blog up and running, with the hope of adding on an "Africa" section soon!

Lots of love
Farmboy and Citygirl (now enjoying life in South Africa~until our feet get too itchy and it's time to move on!)
