Vacation plans - MADE!

Yay! Cory and I just purchased our tickets for vacation! In Korea, school gets out in December and starts back up in March. From December until March, Cory and I will be working at English Camp. We work for 2 weeks, have two weeks off, work 2 weeks again and then 2 weeks off ~ and then school starts! Our working hours are from 9-5 even when we are at English Camp. However, English camp is only from 9am-12. So what do we do until 5pm!? We have DESK WARMING! Yes, my friends that's what it's called. Cory and I will be sitting in our offices until 5pm. We have the option of working on lessons, surfing the web, watching movies...etc. It's a little bit of a bummer, but a least we are getting paid for it. As well, we are getting a paid vacation, so we have decided to go to a few places! Check out the map below... 


From South Korea, we will be first heading to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia (you can see the red circle on the map). We decided to fly there because it was a lot cheaper than going straight to Thailand! Kuala is the Capital of Malaysia so therefore it is a big city. It has the largest twin buildings in the world and many sites to see! It is a very touristy place, but I think it will be a great place for us to check out. Plus, we are so close to the bordering countries. We would love to spend a little time in Singapore if we can figure out how to get there. Also, they have ferry rides to Thailand, so we plan on spending a lot of time there as well! 

Next, we will be heading to Thailand. This is the number one place we decided on visiting. Close to Kuala Lumpur, you can see Phuket, Thailand (green circle) Thailand is known for it's beauty and especially its beaches. We are so excited to unwind and relax there! Below I have a few pictures of places I would love to see while traveling! We will be leaving on February 18th-29th - it can not come soon enough! :)

> Petronas Towers - At a staggering 452 meters in height the Petronas Towers dominate the skyline in Kuala Lumpur. The Petronas Towers are the worlds "tallest freestanding" towers in the world housing an assortment of office buildings, a contemporary concert hall and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in the Petronas Malaysia Philharmonic Hall.


> Rainforest and canopy walkway tour -Take a walk on the canopy walkway which is suspended 30 m from the ground and is over 200 m long. You will enjoy a breath-taking view of the city and its greeneries. There are also lots of fun activities for the family like camping, picnicking at the waterfalls and jogging.


> The beach. Do I need to say more?

Like I said, we can not wait for vacation! :)
