Happy Thursday!

Well, it's a sunny day here in Seoul with a bit less humidity! Here is a photo with the female monk...I think this is one of the only Buddhist groups in S. Korea with females living on the actual temple grounds...don't quote me on that...but I believe that is what we were told.

Tonight is our Korean lesson. Chris has a conference call tonight so I will have an individual lesson. I really liked the fact that our new teacher didn't assign 14 pages of written homework...:-)

Today I mailed our absentee ballots back to Michigan...hope they arrive in time for the election. We have had good results with the Korean mail system so far...plus they are very nice and helpful. They always seem particularly impressed if I have the correct postage affixed! :-) They will also box your items for mailing...all with a smile and a bow...

Well, off to study...it is a holiday here today...but we are unsure which one it is...I don't think it is a National Holiday since the post-office was open. Chris is working today and will be off tomorrow for a trip to the USO, Costco....and maybe a quick drive to see some sights. If it's a nice day...maybe the pool and a book.


Evening update: Just completed the Korean lesson...went very well. I learned to write my full name in Korean, Chris' name, and the teacher's name. I really had a challenge with both last names...we sweated it out a bit...but finally got it. She asked me (In Korean) "what is that" and pointed to my mobilization wedge and yoga mat on the floor...she was so curious about the wedge...I demonstrated ...then asked her if she wanted to try it...she loved it! Now I need to find her one....:-) There is a spectacular moon tonight...I need to go outside to get a better view. Chris is still on a conference call...but will hopefully be home soon. Goodnight everyone!
