Mom and Dad your package finally got here!! You took me literally when I asked for soup- 9 boxes should do--lol and 2 kilos of mini eggs, nice. I think that was one of the best presents of my life! I am so happy I am just sitting here laughing, all by myself:)
Another note. I had my first Korean language lesson on Sunday. It was held at a Christian center, that was also a migrant workers center. The class consisted of people mostly from the Philippines . I later found out that English is a national language there. It was fun to be around foreigners who weren't white, American, English or Canadians. The lessons are free, you just have to buy the text book. [vowel sounds: a, ya, uh, yuh, oh, yo, ooo, euh,eee] I just have to memorize what the characters look like and I will be ready for next week.
After the class we had lunch. It was called Duek-bogi. It is a soup with ramen noodles, hard boiled egg, fish cakes and rice cakes. It is spicy and it was really good.
I then proceeded to go shopping. I found some pretty scarves in the market and then went to Seomyeon and found 2 dresses and 2 sweaters. I also bought some lipstick. It was such a fun day, I almost forgot that Mark was not here...almost.
On that note, it has been fine so far. I know that people were worried about that, and so was I. But I am in our home, with our things, even if it happens to be in Korea. It is spring here and the mood of the city and the people is changing. I guess no matter where you live spring can never come soon enough.
In Korea with spring comes 'Yellow Dust'. This is all the pollution coming over from China. It is apparently pretty bad for ones respiratory system, but thankfully it will go away soon. I guess I should buy a mask. I wouldn't want to get some yellow sickness.
Thanks mom and dad for the package, I will now proceed to gorge myself with mini eggs!

Happy St. Paddy's Day Mandy (I guess it's already done for you).
Thanks for keeping your blog updated and very happy to hear you are doing fine.
It was great to see Mark... and he's working hard on getting his thesis done - and back to you in Korea.
Good luck with your language lessons.
