hope things are good at home. everything here is good. we haven't hit the rainy season yet (rainy season= about a month of rain beginning in late June) and things have finally warmed up to a truly comfortable temperature. What's more is that its Buddha's Birthday!
So since the last update we've been to Daegu and back and celebrated the birth of the enlightened one.
Eunjin and her family are doing well for those of you who had the pleasure to meet her last year. We visited my old campus and hiked around for awhile on sunday, then eunjin's family took us to a mountain on the edge of the district for a cable car ride and a lovely dinner of well- being food (pronounced welbing).
The next weekend:
We celebrated Buddha's birthday with a few other teachers from a near by area and stayed downtown enjoying the festivities all day on sunday. And since Buddha's actual birthday wasn't until today (the 24th) we had an opportunity to celebrate again last night at our favorite oasis just down the street.
Its been an eventful couple of weeks - patrick and i are looking forward to resting up this weekend and enjoying a lack of preplanned activities.
