Waiting...

Sorry it's been so long! I have been so busy! I still don't have the internet at home so I am having to use the school's computer and we all have to share. Everything here is still really good! I got a new camera and I have a ton of pictures to post once i get the internets.

I've been doing a lot of shopping and sight-seeing. Last weekend, Ben and I went to North Seoul Tower. It's a tower on the north side of Seoul that looks over the whole city. It's placed on a mountain that you can either hike up or take a cable car. We took the cable car up which was a really cool view. The fall here is really pretty. It was rainy that day so I didn't get too many good pictures. I want to go again at night because I heard it is really cool with all of the city lights. It's fun to see all of the mountains everywhere. It kind of reminds me of where Jenny lives in L.A. A lot of South Korea isn't even habitable because of all of the mountains. That is why they build up instead of out. I can't wait to have some time to write more about Korea. This country is really beautiful.

I am trying to figure out what to do for Christmas. I have five days off, Wednesday through Sunday. A few teachers are going to China but it's a little expensive for a plane ticket. Ben and I might go to Busan or Japan. It depends on price. We can take a train to Busan and then a boat to Japan. Or I could go to a resort where they have snowboarding. Any ideas? It will be weird being away from home for Christmas but I'll have fun anyways.

Okay, I need to prepare for my afternoon classes now. I can't wait to hear from everyone! If anyone wants to send me things, feel free. Here are a few things I wouldn't mind: Reese's peanutbutter cups, books (small paperback please), puzzles, burned dvds of tv shows (the Hills, Dexter, Californication, America's Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, etc), cereal bars, three muskateers and that's all I can think of right now.

So, I miss you and love you and am happy you're enjoying your adventure! XO, Mom P.S. Hope this goes through!! On the items to send, I can do the candy but seriously, if I can't even reply on this blog, I doubt I can download tv programs!
