Korea, why?

This is our first post.
We have been living here in Korea for a little under a month now. This is a place one can actually forget that you are not in the United States. That is until you find yourself looking down on most people and you don't have a clue what they are saying.
First things first, we need to be clear, we came to Korea because our Father called us to. Like He called us to get married and to follow Him wherever He calls. So with that said, I hope it is clear that we didn't come because of our need for money, or a good job, or because we like to travel.
We just simply are following what we have been told.
We have already felt His blessing in so many ways for having come here. Namely, we have more money coming in than we had thought in the first place, we have a 3 bedroom apartment, with full kitchen. We are being hosted by the most amazing couples. Our stay here from day one seems to e very good.

There are alot of things we could say, but our time is something that is a bit limited.
so please feel free to comment and even ask about Korea and we will hopefully answer you.

I will leave you with one story that hopefully will entertain you.
There are many cars here in Korea. There are many people. There are many apartments. There are not so many parking spots. So, when you look out the window, everyone, everyone is double parked. It's crazy! So, we have been wondering, how do people get out if they are double parked?
We experienced the answer the other day. While walking to work, we saw a woman put her 2 kids into her car, then push the car that was blocking her in out of the way! everyone here parks in Neutral! If you want out, just push the cars and you are set!

Well, I hope this posting finds you well,
sincerely, The Rileys
