dear mom and dad,

i got mail from you all again this week, thank you very much! the magazines are MUCH appreciated. uhm, amongst the mail, dad, you sent me a BILL for essense magazine. jeez, i thought it was a gift! no really tho, it's a bill for $18. i'll pay it online.

i am going to order some things on amazon and have them shipped to the house. i'll let you know around when they should arrive. i did order some business cards already, just letting you know in case you get the package, mom, and you go insane with curiosity as to what it is. feel free to open it. they're just cards about my website the the "brothas & sistas in seoul" group im trying to start here. please hold onto them until the amazon stuff arrives, to ship together.

dad, you were able to order american legacy on the computer all by yourself?! wow, mr. hi-tech, i wasnt even knowing how computer savvy you are! i am impressed. did it take you 20 minutes for the typing? ;) just teasing, dear old dad.

the elders ive seen here in korea really astound me, it's not uncommon to see these 50, 60, 70+ year olds, with cell phones... AND the know HOW TO USE THEM. i think i mentioned before how clean everything is in my neck of the woods; i've noticed that a lot of the cleaning ive seen done by these workers in uniforms (hired by the city or state or country i guess), they are all elders, every single one of these workers: doing the asian squat, scrubbing every crevice until it's sparkling.

ok, i forgot that tchaiko went on about the roses. her daughter doesnt have a cell phone, so she and i havent been able to connect for a while. a cell phone is the best way to connect here, especially for foreigners b/c text messaging is super cheap. I had sent her messages the first few days i was here, and came to find that the number she has is only a landline, so she wasnt getting the messages of course.

im glad to hear nisha came by, WITH RECYLING TOO??? interesting! she and i have had more than one debate about the fact that she doesnt eat meat b/c of health and tries to buy organic and all this holistic junk, and yet she didnt give a fig about recycling. i think i will take credit for her new awakening. we can all save planet earth if we work together. teamwork makes the dream work!

dad, you like that i cut my hair? i know you've always secretly loved my locks and wished you had some of your own. it's ok, i know youre just frontin'. ~daughter.
