In Korea

It's nice to be back in Korea! Feels like a home away from home. It's so nice to see Kelly and her family again. The first night here we went walking (& bicycling) around a park at about 11 p.m. - 12 a.m. This is Kelly's parents on the bike. We commented on how there's not nearly as many people walking in a park at that time of the night in Canada! The difference here I think is how many people work very long hours. Kelly's parents usually get home at about 9 p.m. from work.

Today we had sweet potato pizza. I love this stuff! It's SO good! I want to try to duplicate it when we get home.

Bill is in my bad books today. He took my backpack onto the bus and left it there. Aaaargh! Thankfully there wasn't anything of much value in it but I was pretty frustrated about it regardless : (

We had a fun time walking around a flea market, then we went for pizza and, after that, we went to this really great little tea shop with little birds in cages just outside the door. I love plum tea. You can buy this hot or cold. I had it cold during the day, then had a hot one at the tea shop. I just love the taste of it.

Korea feels so comfortable. They seem to really care about the environment here. The streets & water are cleaner, they recycle, etc. I feel so safe here more so than when I'm in Canada - unfortunately! I don't notice "scary" people. You see crosses and steeples everywhere. The influence of Christ in the people here makes a huge difference and it's noticeable.
