A Busy Rest

When Koreans work—they work long and hard. When Koreans play, they do the same! What I thought was going to be a very quiet week spent at home with a few trips into Seoul to explore has become a major social itinerary with trips, dinners, and plans almost every day! It’s probably just as well—the construction out my back window is into the rock pounding stage again and after a week of it, I want to escape whenever possible!

So far, I think I’ll take part in a hike up the mountain in my back yard, going somewhere in Seoul with a few of my new pals from church, a fun trip to Seoul Land for the whole English ministry congregation on Chusok day, a progressive dinner with all the teachers who are staying here over the break (strictly B.Y.O.Chopstics ), making a Korean dinner with our Korean school cooks for our Korean church friends, exploring and shopping with Sylvia, and maybe pricing out a cell phone and a guitar. Oh yeah, and I need to catch up on grading, new curriculum, lesson planning, grout scrubbing, and correspondence… hmmmm I may need a vacation after this vacation!
