Korea is a good place

I went to church on Wednesday and I met some people. Mi-Jin gave me her card and e-mailed on Thursday. We meet at the church. She invited Young Sue. The three us went to dinner to a place where you sit on the floor. I was so happy. I think it is neat. Both of them or going to an English School. I had a good time. Mi-Jin looked for church that had an English service and there is one that would be a short bus ride. She then looked up what bus I would have to take. After dinner we went to the coffee shop at the church. I had a good time. I really like them. There was only a few weird pause and a couple things we had trouble communicating about. I think Young Sue is better than he thinks is. I hope that as I send more time with them he will try to speak English with me. I hope that they will help me learn Korean.

I have a class on Tuesday and Thursdays, it has three students and they are very bright. Normally I teach until there is about ten minutes left, and we play hangman with the words they should have learned that day, however this week they wanted to spend the last ten minutes teaching me Korean. I did learn something, but they are the best of teachers, but they aren't even in third grade.

Today, we had cooking class. We made song pyeon. Which is this rice cake treat thingie. You take the rice cake and roll it into a ball and then pat it flat like a pancake and then you put whatever you are putting inside. We used nuts and raisins. Then you folded it close and pinch it close. They had a lot of fun making it. They enjoyed eating it too.

I went shopping today. I walked down to the Lotte Mart. Think big huge wal-mart. I learned that I need to be smart with my shopping. I'm not a pack mule. Nor should I try to be. I will never again buy both toliet paper and paper towels. You can't but only two, you have to be more than six rolls. It's too much to have carry that all the back home. I also need to learn how to use my stove. What good is all this food if I can't use my stove. I don't have a microwave yet.

On Sunday, I'm going to try and go to this bapitist church. I looked it up online. It is over by the US Army base and is there mostly for the soldiers and their families. So there should be a lot of americans there. Next weekend I will try the church Mi-Jin found for me.
