Hey SHA
It’s been a while since we have heard from you; I can only hope that you have gotten your projector, the sheet set, and the shoes that I sent. Maybe it is the rain that does not allow you to drop your old daddy a line.

dear mom and dad,
today is monday and it's been 8 days since my last email! i JUST got back from japan (fukuoka) on friday night, and was thinking i could sleep the weekend away before i emailed you, but you guys got me with another guilt email before i could manage. dammit! japan was awesome, but more on that another time.

i left for japan on tuesday, and on friday i came home to a clean apartment (thanks to my cleaning lady) AND a box with the projector, thanks so much for it. today (monday) not more than 10 min ago,t he postman came with another box with shoes and sheets, thank you! i LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes, i want to wear one black one and one white one so i can enjoy both new pairs at the same time! and thanks for the bug spray, yeah! youre right, i could find something here easily and i was being greedy with asking you to send it to me b/c i was loving all the free stuff. but thanks for sending it anyway^^

do you know ^^? ^^ is the korean way of making a happy face, it's two happy eyes, did you know?

work has been great of course. outside work has been a bit busy too. last week the brothas & sistas had a book club meeting, about a dozen people showed up wonderful company and conversation, i included a photo:) The sister who organized it is danica, she has her masters degree in.. i think, psychology? or social work? or something, id ont know. she works at a university in seoul, like my friend jinny. These university jobs are said to be the best and most prestigious of esl jobs to be had here, but i cant imagine not teaching children anymore. well, plus, one needs a masters degree which i aint got!

some friends of mine were in this years performance of the vagina monologues again, i didnt go to the show this time, but i sat around and watched friends rehearse. they baked cupcakes to sell at the door to raise additional funds, which i didnt want to help with either, but i did eat about 4 cupcakes. picture of this included as well.

well im off, i have a knitting meeting tonight, im almost finished with my first scarf, it's a wonderful day!

loveyoumissyou,
