Hi Jon. This is Mahendra. God’s blessings on you and your family. Your children are blessed to have you as parents; you expose them to so much of the world. You are right … children are resilient and they adapt and make friends easily. It’s tougher when they are in HS. I’m so glad that you are “jumping in the deep end of the pool” culture wise. (That’s what I did when I came to the USA as a student. Maybe, a little too much for a student!)

This is the first time I’m reading a blog and it makes me feel younger, (and jealous), to read about your adventures. Thanks for the pictures. I look forward to continue to read about your family on FB and your blogs.

There will be many challenges but, as you know, you’ll grow from them. The kids will have so many pleasant memories and global friends.

I saw Akhil before the holidays. He’s doing well. Scott had Covid in his family so I couldn’t see him. How ‘bout them Chiefs? We were at the game. What an experience! Stay well. My love to you and your family.

So great to hear from you. Love the blog, great visuals. Way to force the issue and embrace change. Dan and I cherished our time in Seoul for many of the same reasons you describe. Your kids will look back in this experience and be thoroughly great for all the opportunities you are affording them. Take care and enjoy the ride…or walk in your case 😁.
