I know I have the Korean word for "Hello" stored somewhere in my brain, but I can't seem to fish it out. So, with that said, Hello from Korea! It's about 7:45am on Sunday morning here (which makes it about 3:45pm Saturday afternoon there), and my very long flight from lax landed about half an hour ago. After already encountering lots of Engrish (ie. a store called
"Stationary and Fancy" which sold note paper with pictures of fluffy white cats with little hats on [EVAN! Where are you when I need you!?]), I walked to my gate for my flight to Manila and noticed this free computer lounge right across the way! Already, Asia is showing me such hospitality!
Well, the largest chunk of my journey is over with, but I still have another plane, a bus, and a ferry to deal with until I reach my final destination in Calapan. I look out the big windows into the beautiful morning hills of South Korea and I feel so far away from home, and yet, my heart still feels close to all of you back in the States. Jona made me a wonderful book (that made me cry, you jerk! ; ) ) filled with pictures of all my friends to keep with me on my journey, and I feel that I'll be flipping thru it often.
Well, I'd better get going, there wasn't too much to update with anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know I've made it this far, and to take advantage of the free internet!
Until next time, I hope you all are well!
Marleigh Loves!

An nyoung is how you say hello.

ReplyDeleteKam-sa-ham-ni-da, God. (That should translate close to Thank you, God in Korean.) I hope that the rest of your initial journey has gone well. I miss you. But I have a great peace about you being where you are and doing what you're doing. I know you will learn, grow and serve in significant ways. I'm proud of you my girl and send all my love which I hope you feel every second of every day.
