  • A quick entry, to keep the Tuesday posting tradition alive. Sorry I haven't been writing more often, but the days fly by, and as I've said before, my computer access is woefully limited.


    Well, today is the one month anniversary of our arrival in Korea! I'm not sure whether it feels like more or less than that. Probably less, most of the time. The time just zooms by at an alarming rate, and on Thursday, I receive my first paycheque!  Most of it has to head straight back to Canada, but I'm reserving a chunk for a nice beefy music order. Mmmmmmm. Beeeeeef. I haven't had beef since I've been in Korea. It's very expensive, on the order of $40/pound, and thus waaaaay out of our budget. But maybe for a splurge some time. We're also still looking at getting a digital camera.


    My evening class schedule has been modified a bit, with 3 of my classes being amalgamated into one, and a class of new students added. It means I'm teaching one less class a week (and my latest one, at that!), so all is good. The amalgamated class is a bit big, but not unmanageable. They were well-behaved last night. I'm looking forward to meeting the new kids as well. When I was preparing for class yesterday, they were all pressed up against the glass of the office, looking at me!


    I called my family over the weekend. It was so nice to talk to them. E-mail is good, but the sound of a voice is special. I tried a different phone company, in the hopes that their advertized rate for the US is close to their Canadian rate. The main phone company's rate is about $1.40/minute, and that's just horrific. I'm hoping the other one will turn out to be about 30 cents/minute. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, since I was on the phone for 40 minutes! I got to talk to everyone except one brother, so hopfully I'll catch him next time.


    Anyhow, I have class in just a few minutes, so I'd better go and brace myself All the best to you. I hope you're all well. I've been doing a little better at visiting people's sites, but if I haven't dropped by yours in a while, let me know!


    Take care

  • Aye, you didn't catch me because I had only recently gone to bed and didn't quite have the mental facilities to get up. A real pitty though.. Maybe a good thing as we most likely would have been talking for a long time %)

    And yeah, what IS up with cheeseburger? I kinda wish I could change it, but I suppose its ok. It would be really really hard to find something that is farther from me then that. *strange*

  • I am so thrilled to hear that you and the wife are doing well over there, Justin.   I think this move will do things for you that you never expected possible.

    I was curious about one thing, though-how did you find this sort of job?  It sounds fascinating, and if you don't mind sharing when you have a chance, I'm curious as to what it entails.

    Blessings,

    Paul

  • International phone rates are ridiculous sometimes.

  • Glad to hear you are alive and well. It's been a while since I've left a comment. Bless you this Thanksgiving!
