The maiden voyage of "A Wildcat In Seoul!" blog

Greetings Family and Friends!

I have been thinking and talking.... and thinking some more about starting this blog....so here we go! I was afraid I would forget some of the cool stories and experiences here in S. Korea if I didn't get the blog started soon! (I am almost 40 you know!!!) :-)

I have written a few journal entries ...on actual paper and will title/post those as I can. I will also work on uploading some pictures...as they say a picture is worth a million or thousand words! (Of course I have never been short on words!)

Today the weather is quite beautiful...and humid. On these clear days we can see Namsan Mountain and part of Seoul Tower from our living room window. I am really looking forward to sharing our stories, experiences, and opinions about life in Seoul. Please feel free to post on the site or on nlwildcat@yahoo.com We always enjoy hearing from our family and friends...in the US and Canada! Hi Sam! :-) We also use Skype and Yahoo for both IM and direct chatting. Our webcam is working great. We do not have a Skype phone number yet...but our Skype name is easy....nlwildcat or the email address nlwildcat@yahoo.com or nicki7410 for Yahoo IM. We have Korean cell phones...which is truly a must around here. Everyone has a cell and the place is wired...there is no location that you are unable to get reception on your phone...seriously. I haven't figured out how to program...but it speaks to me in Korean and plays lots of interesting songs! :-)

My rice cooker continues to work like a dream. It is Gold/Sparkles and quite a stunner. I love it. It also speaks to me in Korean, blows little whistles....like having a little buddy in the apartment..:-)

Well, I'd better stop typing and hit the gym. I will blog later about volunteer opportunities here in Seoul.

Have a GREAT day and I hope you enjoy reading the blog!!!
